Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 20, 2026
This privacy notice describes how JobDescription.org ("JobDescription.org," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information about visitors to https://jobdescription.org. The site is a free reference resource of job description templates, salary data, and career outlook information. JobDescription.org is operated by THEFIT, Inc. We've written this notice in plain language and kept the scope narrow — we collect very little.
1. Who we are
JobDescription.org is an independent publishing site operated by THEFIT, Inc. We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide personally identifying information to read any of our content.
Operator and mailing address:
THEFIT, Inc.
9620 S Las Vegas Blvd, E4
Las Vegas, NV 89123
United States
2. Information we collect
The data we collect falls into three buckets:
- Automatically collected technical data. Like every web server, ours receives the basic information your browser sends with each request: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, pages you visit on our site, and timestamps. This is standard server-log information used for security, debugging, and basic traffic analysis.
- Analytics data. We use Google Analytics 4 (property ID G-34JNG9ECHJ) to understand which pages are popular and how visitors find us. Google Analytics sets cookies that record a pseudonymous identifier and aggregate browsing patterns. We have IP anonymization enabled, do not enable Google Signals, and do not link analytics data to any other personally identifying information. For visitors in the EU, EEA, and UK, Google Analytics is not loaded unless you grant consent through the banner we present on first visit. Visitors anywhere can opt out of Google Analytics by installing Google's official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by rejecting analytics in the consent banner. Google's own privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.
- Advertising data. We use Google AdSense to display contextual advertisements on individual job description pages (the home page and industry pages do not show ads). Google AdSense sets first-party cookies on our domain (such as
__gads,__gpi, and__eoi) and may load additional Google advertising cookies from related Google domains to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, and limit the number of times you see the same ad. Google's processing is governed by its own Privacy Policy, and its advertising-specific practices are described at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. For visitors in the EU, EEA, and UK, AdSense is not loaded unless you grant consent through the banner on first visit; rejecting analytics in the banner also rejects AdSense. You can change your decision at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer. You can also opt out of personalized advertising via Google's Ad Settings or through the industry opt-out tools listed in Section 5 below.
We do not collect: names, email addresses, phone numbers, payment information, government IDs, precise geolocation, biometric data, or any other category of "sensitive personal information" as defined by California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, or similar state privacy laws — unless you voluntarily provide it to us via email (see "Contact" below).
For visitors who want the explicit breakdown — these are the CCPA / CPRA categories of personal information, and whether we collect them:
| Category | Examples | Collected? |
|---|---|---|
| A. Identifiers | Name, address, email, phone, IP, account ID | IP only (server logs) |
| B. California Customer Records | Name, employment, financial | No |
| C. Protected classifications | Gender, age, race | No |
| D. Commercial information | Purchase history, payment data | No |
| E. Biometric information | Fingerprints, voiceprints | No |
| F. Internet/network activity | Browsing history, page interactions on this site | Yes (analytics, aggregated) |
| G. Geolocation data | Precise device location | No (IP only — country/region level) |
| H. Audio/visual | Recordings, photos | No |
| I. Professional/employment | Job title, work history | No |
| J. Education information | Student records | No |
| K. Inferences | Profiles built from collected data | No (we don't profile visitors) |
| L. Sensitive personal information | Health, religion, immigration, finance, etc. | No |
3. How we use information
- To operate, secure, and improve the site.
- To understand which content is useful and which is not, so we can update or expand it.
- To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
- To comply with applicable laws and respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
- To display contextual advertising, where applicable, that helps support free access to the content.
We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. Depending on how state laws define "sale" or "share," some advertising activity (e.g., cross-context behavioral advertising) may be considered a "sale" or "share." You can opt out using the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the footer, by enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser, or by emailing us (see below).
4. Third-party service providers
The Site relies on standard internet service categories. We do not name specific vendors here because vendors change; if you'd like the current list, email us (see Contact below). The categories of providers we use are:
- Cloud hosting and content-delivery providers — serve site content to your browser
- DNS and edge-security providers — route requests and protect against abuse
- Cloud database providers — store the site's content (not visitor data)
- Analytics providers — currently Google Analytics 4, as described in Section 2; measures aggregate, pseudonymous site usage
- Advertising partners — currently Google AdSense, serves and measures advertisements on job description pages only
- Email and infrastructure providers — handle messages sent to and from us
These providers process limited data on our behalf and are bound by contractual or legal restrictions on how they may use it. We do not share visitor data with anyone outside these categories except as required by law (e.g., a valid subpoena or court order).
5. Interest-based advertising opt-out
You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool at aboutads.info/choices, or via the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org. These are industry-wide opt-outs covering hundreds of advertising partners.
6. Cookies and similar technologies
Our site uses a small number of cookies and similar storage mechanisms. They fall into these categories:
- Strictly necessary. Required for the site to function (e.g., remembering you've dismissed a consent banner). These are set without consent because the site can't operate without them.
- Analytics. Help us understand site usage in aggregate. Where required, these are set only after you grant consent.
- Advertising. Set by advertising partners if and when ads are displayed. These are not set until you grant consent in jurisdictions that require it.
You can clear, block, or restrict cookies through your browser settings at any time.
7. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you have one or more of the following rights regarding personal data we hold about you. These rights are granted under laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA), the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA), the EU/UK GDPR, and similar laws in Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Delaware, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Minnesota, Maryland, Rhode Island, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida:
- Right to know / access what personal information we hold about you.
- Right to delete personal information we hold about you.
- Right to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Right to portability — receive your data in a usable format.
- Right to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising.
- Right to limit use of sensitive personal information.
- Right to non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights.
- Right to appeal a denial of a privacy request (where applicable).
To exercise any of these rights, email us using the contact information below. We may need to verify your identity to process the request, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (typically 45 days, extendable to 90 if needed).
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as opt-out requests in jurisdictions that recognize them. We do not currently respond to legacy "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals because no industry consensus emerged around DNT — GPC superseded it as the standard mechanism for expressing opt-out preferences.
Authorized agents. You may designate someone to make a privacy rights request on your behalf (for example, an attorney or a privacy-rights service). We may require the agent to provide proof of authority, such as a written authorization signed by you, before we act on the request.
Verification. Before fulfilling certain rights requests (especially deletion and access), we may need to verify that the request is genuinely from you. Because we hold so little data tied to identity, we may ask you to provide information from the email address you originally contacted us from, or other context that lets us match the request to data we hold. We use any verification data only for that purpose and delete it afterward.
Right to appeal. If we decline a privacy-rights request, you may appeal the decision by emailing us at the address below within 60 days. We will respond to your appeal within the timeframe required by applicable law (typically 60 days for state-law appeals). If your appeal is denied, you may contact your state's Attorney General to file a complaint.
EU/UK residents: if we cannot resolve your concern, you may lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. EU authorities are listed at edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members. The UK Information Commissioner's Office is at ico.org.uk.
8. Sensitive data and health information
We do not knowingly collect health, biometric, religious, immigration, citizenship, genetic, financial account, precise location, racial or ethnic, sexual-orientation, or union-membership data. If a state's "sensitive personal information" law applies and you believe we hold such data about you inadvertently (e.g., from an email you sent us), you have the right to limit its use.
9. Children's privacy
The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information may email us.
10. AI-assisted content
The job description content on this site is produced with assistance from large language models (LLMs) under editorial review. We disclose this so visitors can evaluate the content with the appropriate context. See our methodology page for the full workflow. Our use of AI to produce content does not change the privacy promises in this policy: we do not feed visitor data to any AI system, and we do not collect the prompts or questions you might ask of third-party AI tools elsewhere on the web.
11. Data retention
We retain server logs and analytics data for the period required to meet our operational and legal needs — typically no longer than 24 months — and longer only where required by law or to defend legal claims.
12. Security
We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we hold (HTTPS in transit, encrypted storage, access controls). No internet transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. International data transfers
The site is operated from the United States. If you visit from outside the U.S., understand that any data we receive will be processed in the U.S. and other countries where our service providers operate. Where required by law, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top. For material changes, we'll make a reasonable effort to notify visitors prominently on the site for a period before the changes take effect.
