Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your information.

Introduction

SideeJob ("we", "our", or "us") operates this website to connect job applicants with remote employment opportunities. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our site or submit an application, how we use and protect it, and the rights you have over it.

Information We Collect

When you apply for a position, we collect the information you provide directly, including your name, email address, phone number, date of birth, country and street address, employment preferences, skills, and portfolio links. If you complete identity verification, we also collect the government-issued identification documents you upload and the reference number associated with your application.

Identity Verification

To confirm your identity and protect both applicants and employers from fraud, identification documents submitted during the application process are processed through Onfido, a trusted third-party identity verification provider. Onfido processes this data on our behalf under its own security and privacy safeguards, and its handling of your information is additionally governed by Onfido's own privacy policy, available at onfido.com/privacy. We do not use your identification documents for any purpose beyond verifying your identity for this application.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to evaluate and process your application, verify your identity, match you with suitable employers, communicate with you about your application status, and improve our services. We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal effects without human review.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the identity verification provider described above, employers you are matched with as part of the hiring process, and service providers who help us operate the platform (such as hosting and communication tools), each bound by confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law.

Data Retention

We retain your application information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including evaluating your application and complying with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your data at any time, subject to any retention required by law.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your progress while completing an application, along with limited analytics cookies to help us understand and improve how the site is used. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Data Security

All data is encrypted in transit and access to identity documents is restricted to authorized personnel involved in the verification and hiring process. While no system is completely secure, we take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated revision on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
