Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

HiredFrex.com ("HiredFrex", "we", "us") is an information and publishing site sharing articles and practical resources about careers and working life. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it. It applies to visitors who read our content or contact our team.

2. Data we collect

Contact data: the name, email address, topic and message you choose to send us. Technical data: basic device, browser and request information processed by our hosting provider to deliver and protect the site. Advertising and cookie data: if advertising is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show and measure ads, including based on visits to this and other websites. HiredFrex also retains some account and application records collected when the site previously offered job-board features; those records remain governed by this policy. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

3. How we use it

We use contact details to respond to questions, corrections and story suggestions; technical data to secure, maintain and improve the site; and advertising technologies to support the operation of the publication. We do not sell messages sent to our team.

4. Who we share it with

We use service providers needed to operate the publication: Neon (database hosting), Netlify (site hosting), and email providers when responding to messages. If advertising is enabled, Google AdSense and its advertising partners may process cookie and device information to serve, measure or personalise advertisements under their own privacy terms. We may disclose data where required by law or to protect the safety of our users.

5. International data transfers

HiredFrex serves users worldwide, including the UAE and EU/UK, and our service providers may process data in different countries. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on the provider's own compliance safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) and select providers that maintain recognised security and privacy standards.

6. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights or ask about retained legacy account data, email support@hiredfrex.com. If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may also contact your local data protection authority.

7. Retention

We keep messages and technical records for as long as needed to respond, protect the site and meet legal obligations. Some account and application records from HiredFrex's former job-board features remain in the database; we retain or delete those records according to legal, operational and user-request needs. You can ask us about or request deletion of your information by contacting the team.

8. Security & breach response

We use encrypted connections and access controls appropriate to operating the site and its database. If a data breach occurs that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify affected users and, where required, the relevant regulator, without undue delay.

9. Cookies and advertising

Essential storage supports security and basic site functions. If you allow optional advertising cookies through the on-site privacy prompt, HiredFrex loads Google AdSense and requests non-personalized ads. Google may use cookies for ad frequency capping and aggregated reporting; this site does not request ads personalized using your browsing history. You can change your choice at any time using Privacy & cookie settings in the footer. Learn more about Google's use of cookies.

Your advertising choice is saved in your browser so the site can remember it. It is not sent to HiredFrex's servers. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking the essential session cookie may affect account features. See our Cookie Policy for further detail.

10. Changes to this policy

We review this policy periodically and update it as our service or the law changes; the date above reflects the last update. This policy is written to be clear and complete, but for regulated activities or disputes we recommend seeking independent legal advice specific to your situation — as with any online service, this shouldn't be treated as legal advice itself.
