By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you register for the Service, submit a sign-up form, create an account, or contact us, we may collect:

• Full name
• Company or business name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Trade(s) or service category
• Service area (counties or geographic regions you cover)
• Any additional information you voluntarily provide through the dashboard, communications, or support requests

During onboarding we also record whether you agree to email job alerts and check-ins, and whether you agree to SpotTheJob lead alerts by text. Consent is optional, but may impact service. If you opt in, message frequency may vary and message and data rates may apply. We store the time of each consent you give and the IP address of the request so we have a record that you agreed to hear from us.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website or use the Service, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

• Device and browser information— IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, and screen resolution
• Usage data— pages viewed, links clicked, referring URL, time and date of access, session duration, scroll depth, and form interaction metadata (for example, that a form was started or submitted). We do not collect the contents of form fields (such as your name, email, or phone) through analytics.
• Approximate location— a general geographic area derived from IP address (not a precise street address)
• Cookies and similar technologies— we use cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to facilitate site functionality, analyze traffic, and support advertising attribution (see Section 5 below)

1.3 Information from Third-Party Sources

In the course of operating the Service, we collect and process publicly available information from third-party online platforms and community forums. This information is used to identify and match potential job leads with contractors and may include the content, general geographic area, and context of publicly visible posts.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Providing the Service— to register your account, match job leads to your trade and service area, and deliver alerts
• Communications— to send you job alerts and check-ins by email, to text you lead alerts when you have agreed to that during onboarding, to send service updates, and to respond to your inquiries
• AI-powered classification— to analyze and categorize publicly available content using artificial intelligence and machine-learning technologies to determine the relevant trade, service type, and geographic area (see Section 4 below)
• Service improvement— to monitor, analyze, and improve the performance, accuracy, and reliability of the Service
• Advertising and analytics— to measure advertising performance, attribute conversions, and understand how visitors interact with our website
• Legal and compliance— to comply with applicable law, enforce our Terms of Service, protect our rights, and respond to legal processes

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share mobile numbers with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text-message opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties for their own marketing. We share a mobile number with our text-message delivery provider only to send messages you opted into. SpotTheJob text messages, if you opt in, are lead alerts. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. We may share information in the following circumstances:

3.1 Service Providers and Processors

We use third-party vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf. We select providers that we believe maintain reasonable privacy and security practices. These include:

• Email delivery providers(e.g., Resend) — to send alerts and notifications
• SMS delivery providers(e.g., Twilio) — to send text-message alerts according to your preferences
• AI and machine-learning providers(e.g., OpenAI) — to classify content and match leads (see Section 4)
• Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers — to host, store, and serve the Service
• Analytics and advertising platforms(Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads) — a Google tag on our website sends device, usage, and advertising-attribution data to Google so we can measure traffic and ad performance (see Section 5.1). Google processes that information under Google’s Privacy Policy
• Data storage and productivity tools(e.g., Google Sheets, database services) — to manage and process account and registration data

3.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend our rights or property, prevent fraud, or protect the safety of users or the public.

3.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

4. Use of Artificial Intelligence

SpotTheJob uses artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine-learning technologies as a core part of the Service. Specifically:

• We use third-party large-language-model services (such as OpenAI) to classify and categorize publicly available content from online community forums. This classification determines the type of trade or service being requested and the approximate geographic area associated with the request.
• The AI-based classification is used to match content to contractors based on the trade(s) and service area(s) they have provided to us.
• AI outputs are probabilistic and may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any AI-generated classification.
• We do not use your personal account information (name, email, phone) to train AI models. Information processed by third-party AI providers is subject to those providers’ respective data-processing agreements and privacy policies.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies— necessary for site functionality and security
• Analytics cookies— to understand how visitors use our website (Google Analytics 4)
• Advertising cookies— to measure advertising conversions and attribute traffic sources (Google Ads)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Service. Advertising and analytics cookies are not loaded when your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) opt-out signal.

5.1 Google Analytics and Google Ads

We use a Google tag on www.spotthejob.com that sends information to Google Analytics 4 (to understand how visitors use the site) and Google Ads (to measure advertising performance and attribute conversions). The tag is not loaded when your browser sends a GPC opt-out signal.

Google Analytics may receive device and browser information, pages viewed, referring URL, approximate location derived from IP address, session duration, scroll depth, outbound link clicks, and form interaction metadata (for example, that a form was started or submitted). We do not send names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other information you type into our forms to Google Analytics.

These tools set cookies and similar identifiers, including:

• _ga and _ga_*— Google Analytics, to distinguish visitors and persist session state
• _gcl_auand related Google click identifiers — Google Ads, to measure conversions and attribute ad clicks

Google receives this information and processes it according to its own policies. See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can manage Google ad personalization at Google Ad Settings or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active, as necessary to provide the Service, or as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We may also retain your information as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect our legitimate business interests.

When your information is no longer required for any of these purposes, we will delete or de-identify it in accordance with our internal data-retention schedule. If you request deletion of your account and data, we will process your request in accordance with applicable law (see Section 7). Event data collected by Google Analytics is retained according to the retention period we configure in Google Analytics and is also subject to Google’s own retention practices.
