1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly:
- Job seekers: When you apply for a job, we may collect your name and email address. We do not collect CVs or resumes — applications are directed to the employer’s own website.
- Employers: When you submit a job listing, we collect your name, company name, job title, application URL, email address, and job description.
- Newsletter subscribers: When you subscribe to our weekly briefing, we collect your email address.

Information collected automatically:
- IP address and browser type
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Referring website
- Device type and operating system
This data is collected via Google Analytics 4 and standard server logs.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Publish and manage job listings on the platform
- Send the AECO Weekly Briefing newsletter to subscribers
- Respond to enquiries submitted via our contact forms

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising purposes.
3. Job Applications
AECOverse does not collect resumes, CVs, or application materials. When you click “Apply for job”, you are redirected to the employer’s own website or application portal. Any data you submit during the application process is governed by that employer’s privacy policy, not ours.

We use the following types of cookies:
- Essential cookies: Required for the website to function (e.g., WordPress session cookies).
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4 uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data. You can opt out via Google’s opt-out tool.
We do not use advertising, tracking, or social media cookies.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy:
- Job listings: retained for 30 days after expiry, then deleted
- Contact form submissions: retained for 12 months
- Newsletter subscriber emails: retained until you unsubscribe
- Analytics data: retained per Google Analytics default settings (14 months)
7. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services that may process your data:
