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 collect minimal, anonymized analytics data to improve the service, but do not track or store any personally identifiable 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.
Anonymous Analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes:
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- General location (city/country level, not precise)
- Device type and browser information
- Traffic sources (how you found us)
This data is anonymized and aggregated. We cannot identify individual users. You can opt out by using browser extensions like uBlock Origin or by enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser settings.
Data We Explicitly Don't Collect
Personal Information
- Names or email addresses
- Account information
- Contact details
- Demographic information
Technical Tracking
- Precise IP addresses (GA anonymizes IPs)
- Browser fingerprints
- Third-party cookies (we don't set any)
- Individual user identification
Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, or distribute any personal 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:
- Google Analytics: Anonymous website analytics to understand usage patterns and improve the service. Read Google's Privacy Policy.
- Tailwind CSS CDN: For styling (no data collection)
- Google Fonts: For typography (standard web fonts)
We do not use advertising networks, tracking pixels, or sell any data to third parties.
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.
