Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

VA Workers PH ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website vaworkersph.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our website, including our job board and resume tools (Rewrite Resume and Create Resume). By using vaworkersph.com, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following information:

• Email address — when you create an account or sign in with Google
• Name and profile picture — if you sign in with Google OAuth
• Candidate profile information and photo — if you create a candidate profile (for example your headline, skills, tools, location, work experience, and profile photo)
• Job preferences — categories you select for job alerts
• Resume and job content — resumes, job descriptions, and related text you upload or paste into our resume tools to be rewritten, scored, or generated
• Payment information — if you purchase resume credits, payment is processed directly by our third-party payment provider; we do not store your full card details on our servers
• Usage data — pages visited, time spent, and interactions via Google Analytics
• Device and browser information — collected automatically for analytics and security purposes
• IP address — collected for security, fraud prevention, analytics, and advertising (see Section 8)

3. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account
• To show you job listings relevant to your preferences
• To send job alert emails if you opt in
• To show candidate profiles to employers and to promote VA Workers PH (see Section 4)
• To provide our resume tools (e.g. generating a rewritten or newly created resume) and process related credit purchases
• To improve our website using analytics data
• To detect, prevent, and respond to security issues, fraud, and abuse
• To comply with legal obligations

4. Candidate Profiles, Photos, and Marketing Use

If you create a candidate profile and make it visible to employers, you understand and agree that:

• Employer visibility — employers (including visitors who are not signed in) can browse your profile in masked form. Your full name, contact details, and links stay hidden until an employer unlocks your profile with credits.
• Photos on our site — your profile photo may appear across vaworkersph.com, including on the home page, hiring pages, candidate listings, and employer pages, shown without your name or with anonymized details only (for example a first-name initial, job title, skills, or city/province).
• Marketing and promotion — we may use your profile photo, with no name or with anonymized details only, to promote VA Workers PH and our related services, including on our website, social media, email, and advertising. We will not pair your photo with your full name, email address, phone number, or other contact details for marketing without your separate permission.
• No payment — you will not receive payment or other compensation for this use, and you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use your photo for these purposes for as long as your profile is visible and your photo is on your account.

Only upload a photo you own or have the right to use, and that shows you. You can stop this use at any time by switching your profile to hidden, replacing or removing your photo in your profile settings, or deleting your account, or by emailing vaworkersph@gmail.com. We will remove your photo from the site and stop using it in new marketing within a reasonable time. Material already published or shared (such as past social media posts or ads) may take longer to remove or may remain in copies we do not control.

5. AI Processing

Resume and job description content you submit to our resume tools may be processed by third-party AI providers to generate rewrites, scores, or newly created resume content. This content is used only to deliver the service to you and is not sold to third parties.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

VA Workers PH uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for authentication, analytics, and advertising purposes. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us provide a better experience.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality (for example, you may not be able to stay logged in).

7. Other Google Services

• Google Analytics — to understand how visitors use our site. Google may collect and process data per their Privacy Policy. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Google Sign-In — to allow login via your Google account. We only access basic profile information you authorize.

8. Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

When ads are requested, Google and the advertising partners that bid on them receive information about your visit, including your full IP address, browser and device details, and your approximate location, so they can show relevant ads, measure performance, and prevent ad fraud. We do not send them your name, email address, or account details.

9. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with trusted third-party services that help us operate our website and resume tools, including Supabase (database and authentication), Brevo (email delivery), Cloudflare (hosting and CDN), our payment processor, third-party AI providers used to power our resume tools, and Google services (analytics, advertising, and sign-in). These services are bound by their own privacy policies and our agreements with them.

10. Data Retention

We retain your account, job preference, and resume/job content data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. If you delete your account, your personal data will be removed within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

11. Your Rights

You may request to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time by contacting us at vaworkersph@gmail.com. You may also delete your account at any time from your account settings.

12. Children's Privacy

VA Workers PH is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
