Short-lived by design.
A job board accumulates two things that age badly: stale listings and other people's CVs. GetJOB is built to hold as little of either as it can get away with.
We never store your CV
There is no upload button anywhere on this site, and that is deliberate. When you register interest in a job you give us a link to a document you host yourself — a Google Drive share link, Dropbox, your own site. We store that URL and nothing else. We hold no copy of the file, so we cannot lose it, cannot be compelled to hand it over, and cannot leak it. If you stop wanting employers to have it, revoke the share on your side and our link stops working too.
What we do store
| Thing | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your name, email and avatar from Google | To identify you, show your name on an application, and let an employer reply | Until you ask us to delete the account |
| Jobs you post | To show them | Up to 14 days, then deleted |
| Applications you send | To show the employer, and to show you what you applied to | Deleted with the job, or when you withdraw |
| Your alert criteria and CV link | To decide what to notify you about | Until you change or clear them |
| Notifications | To tell you about matches and status changes | 90 days |
| A per-month count of posts and applications | To enforce the monthly limits | Two months |
The usage counters outlive the jobs they counted, on purpose — otherwise deleting your posts would hand back your monthly quota, and the limit would not mean anything.
Who can see what
- Anyone, signed out: a job's title and description. Nothing else — not the company, not the salary, not who posted it.
- Anyone signed in: the full listing for every live job.
- An employer: for their own jobs only, the name, email address, CV link and note of each person who applied to that job. They cannot see anyone else's profile, and they cannot see your other applications.
- You: your own profile, posts, applications and notifications.
These are database rules, not front-end manners. Every one of them is a row-level security policy or a column grant in the database, and the key this website ships with is a public one that the rules are written against. Poking at the API by hand gets you the same answers the page does.
Sign-in
Google only, and it happens in the page rather than by bouncing you through a redirect. We ask Google for your name, email address and profile picture. We never see, receive or store your Google password. You can revoke our access from your Google account at any time.
Everything expires
A job accepts applications for at most 12 days, is shown as expired for 2 more so that a stale bookmark can explain itself, and is then deleted from the database along with every application to it. That is enforced by a database trigger and an hourly job, not by us remembering to tidy up.
Deleting things
Withdraw an application and it is gone from the employer's list immediately. Delete a job and it takes its applications with it. To delete your account and everything attached to it, email help@getapps.tech from the address you signed up with.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data, and we do not sell access to candidates.
- We do not email you. Notifications live in your dashboard.
- We do not host, parse, score or rank anybody's CV.
- We do not keep a shadow copy of anything after it expires.
