Privacy Policy

1. What We Collect

When you use The Mullet, we collect only the information we need to improve your experience and help you find real, direct job opportunities. Here's what that looks like:

• Account Information: When you sign up, we collect basic information like your name, email address, and password so you can create an account and log in.
• Job Preferences: If you set preferences like location, specialty, or desired salary, we store that data to help tailor job listings to your needs.
• Usage Data: We collect information on how you use our website (e.g., which job listings you view or apply for), so we can make the platform better and show you the most relevant opportunities.
• Device Information and IP Address: For security and optimization purposes, we may collect basic device information, like your IP address, browser type, and operating system. This helps us ensure a smooth and secure experience.
• Location Data: If you enable location services, we may collect information about your location to better match job listings relevant to your area.

2. How We Use Your Information

We don't sell your data, rent it, or share it with third parties. Everything we collect is used to improve The Mullet and make your experience better. Specifically, we use your information to:

• Help match you with job listings that fit your preferences.
• Make your job search more efficient by tailoring your experience.
• Improve the overall functionality of the platform through usage analytics.
• Prevent fraudulent or malicious activity on the site.

3. Who We Share Your Information With

Absolutely no one. We're serious. Your data stays with us. We're not in the business of sharing or selling your information to anyone—no recruiters, no agencies, no third-party companies. Our mission is to cut through the BS, and that includes keeping your data safe and sound.

However, we may share data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting, payment processors, or security services) solely for the purpose of operating and improving our platform. These providers are contractually obligated to keep your data secure and confidential, and they cannot use your data for any other purpose.

4. Cookies and Tracking

The Mullet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on the site. These help us understand how you interact with our platform and allow us to improve functionality. You can choose to disable cookies in your browser settings, but keep in mind that this may impact your user experience.

• Analytics: We use Google Analytics and similar services to understand how users engage with the platform, improving overall performance and design.
• Advertising Cookies: If applicable, we may use cookies to display relevant ads (if any) based on your preferences. You can opt out of personalized ads in your account settings or via the cookie policy.

5. Data Security

We take your privacy and security seriously. We've implemented industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or theft. But remember, no system is 100% secure, so while we do our best, we can't guarantee complete security.

• Encryption: Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using secure protocols (e.g., HTTPS, SSL).
• Data Breach Notification: In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will promptly notify affected users and comply with all applicable legal requirements.

6. Your Rights

You have control over your personal data and can exercise the following rights at any time:

• Access: You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you. Want to know what we've got? Just ask.
• Correction: If something's wrong with your data (like a typo in your email address), you can request a correction at any time.
• Deletion: You can ask us to delete your account and personal information at any time. Just remember, once it's gone, it's gone—you'll need to create a new account if you want back in.
• Portability: You may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection to Processing: You can object to certain types of data processing, such as profiling or marketing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [contact email].

7. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to third-party websites. If you click on these links, we're not responsible for what happens once you leave our site. Be sure to read the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. Once your data is no longer required for these purposes, we securely delete or anonymize it.

9. Children's Privacy

The Mullet is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We're always working to make The Mullet better, and that means our privacy policy might change from time to time. If we make any significant changes, we'll notify you via email or an in-app message. Your continued use of The Mullet after any updates means you agree to the new policy.
