Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Overview

JustLooking is designed with privacy at its core. We help employed professionals explore career opportunities discreetly, without exposing their job search to current employers or recruiters.

What We Collect

  • Account information: Name, email address, and encrypted password
  • Preferences: Work style, industry, experience level, and other onboarding choices
  • Interactions: Roles you save, show interest in, or pass on
  • Usage data: Anonymous analytics to improve the product (if you consent)

How We Use Your Data

  • To personalize role recommendations based on your preferences
  • To notify you when roles matching your interests become available
  • To improve our matching algorithms and user experience
  • To send service-related communications (you can opt out of marketing)

AI-Generated Content

Some roles on JustLooking are generated with the help of AI (powered by OpenAI) based on real positions and industry patterns. These AI-generated profiles are:

  • Based on real positions: Content reflects actual industry trends, though profiles do not represent specific companies or currently open positions
  • Personalized: AI helps generate roles that match your stated preferences (industry, work style, experience level, etc.)

We also feature roles from companies and user-submitted content, which are clearly labeled.

Your Privacy is Protected

  • No public profiles: Your information is never visible to employers or recruiters unless you explicitly share it
  • No data selling: We never sell your personal information to third parties
  • Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Minimal retention: We only keep data as long as needed to provide the service

Third-Party Data Processing

We use the following third-party service to provide our core functionality:

OpenAI (AI Service Provider)

  • Purpose: Generating personalized role profiles based on your preferences
  • Data sent: Your onboarding preferences (industry, work type, experience level, work style, company size, salary expectations). We never send your name, email, or other identifying information.
  • Data retention: OpenAI processes data under their API data usage policy—API data is not used to train their models

For more information, see OpenAI's Privacy Policy.

Your Rights (GDPR)

Under GDPR and similar regulations, you have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data
  • Rectification: Correct inaccurate information
  • Erasure: Request deletion of your account and data
  • Portability: Export your data in a standard format

Automated Decision-Making

JustLooking uses AI and automated systems in the following ways:

  • Role generation: We use AI to populate some of the role profiles based on your stated preferences
  • Role recommendations: Automated scoring determines which roles appear in your feed and in what order

Important: These automated processes do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you. They simply help you discover role types that may interest you. You can adjust your preferences at any time to change your recommendations.
