Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to Privacy
SWE Job Lists is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains exactly what data we collect (very little) and how we use it (only to improve the service). We do not track, store, or collect any personal information.
Data We Collect
Job Listing Data
We collect publicly available job listing information from open sources:
- Job titles, company names, and locations
- Job posting dates and application URLs
- Source attribution (which repository/site the job came from)
Anonymous Click Counts
When you click on a job listing, we increment a counter for that job. This helps us identify popular opportunities. We do NOT track:
- Who clicked (no user identification)
- When you clicked (no timestamps linked to users)
- Your browsing patterns or behavior
- Your IP address or location
System Update Logs
We log when our system updates job listings, including how many jobs were added or removed. This is purely for system monitoring and transparency.
Data We Explicitly Don't Collect
Personal Information
- Names or email addresses
- Account information
- Contact details
- Demographic information
Technical Tracking
- IP addresses
- Browser fingerprints
- Cookies or local storage
- User sessions or behavior
How We Use Data
Job Listings: Displayed on the website to help users find opportunities. Automatically removed after 10 days to keep listings fresh.
Click Counts: Used to sort jobs by popularity and identify trending opportunities. Helps surface the most relevant positions to users.
Update Logs: Displayed in our Stats page for transparency about how the platform operates and when new jobs are added.
Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, or distribute any data. Since we don't collect personal information, there's nothing personal to share. Job listing data is already public information sourced from open repositories and career pages.
Third-Party Services
We use minimal third-party services:
- Tailwind CSS CDN: For styling (no data collection)
- Google Fonts: For typography (standard web fonts)
We do not use analytics services, advertising networks, or tracking pixels.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data, there's no personal data to access, modify, or delete. The site functions without requiring any personal information from users. You can browse job listings completely anonymously.
