Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 25, 2026

Welcome to Dir Jobs. Dir Jobs is an online job and opportunity platform created to connect job seekers and employers across Ethiopia and beyond. We are dedicated to making finding jobs, internships, scholarships, and career opportunities simple, fast, and accessible for everyone.

To provide our services and connect you with the right opportunities, we need to collect and process certain personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit and use our website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us, as well as information collected automatically when you use our platform.

A. Information You Provide to Us

• Account Information: When you sign up as a job seeker or an employer, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and account credentials.
• Profile and Application Data (Job Seekers): To help you find opportunities in Ethiopia and internationally, you may choose to provide your resume/CV, cover letters, educational background, work history, skills, and links to professional profiles.
• Employer Data: For organizations looking to hire, we collect company names, registration details, sector, location, and contact details of company representatives.

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Log and Usage Data: We collect your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on the platform, and the links you click.
• Cookies and Tracking: We use cookies to remember your login sessions, analyze site traffic, and personalize your experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect to operate, maintain, and improve our platform. Specifically, we use it to:

• Enable job seekers to search for and apply to jobs, internships, and scholarships.
• Enable employers to post listings, manage vacancies, and view applicant profiles.
• Match your profile with relevant career opportunities and send you tailored updates.
• Maintain, secure, and optimize Dir Jobs' performance across various devices and network conditions.

3. How Your Information is Shared

We do not sell your personal data. However, to fulfill our mission of connecting talent with employment, we share data under the following circumstances:

• Between Job Seekers and Employers: When you apply for an opportunity listed on Dir Jobs, your profile details, resume, and application materials are shared directly with the employer or organization listing that vacancy.
• With Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party vendors who perform services for us, such as website hosting, SMS alert gateways, data analysis, and customer support tools.
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations in Ethiopia or other relevant jurisdictions.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you choose to close your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, unless we are legally required to retain it for compliance or regulatory audits.

5. Security of Your Data

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures—including SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit—to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. Please note that while we work hard to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or mobile networks is 100% secure.

6. Your Privacy Rights

We want you to have control over your data. Regardless of your location, you can exercise the following rights:

• Access and Correction: You can access, review, and update your profile details and resume at any time through your Dir Jobs account settings.
• Deletion: You can request that we delete your account and all associated data by contacting our support team.
• Opt-Out: You can opt-out of receiving automated job alerts by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in our communications or adjusting your notification preferences.

7. Third-Party Links

Dir Jobs contains listings that link to external websites (such as a company’s corporate application portal or an international university’s scholarship page). We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before submitting any data.
