What we collect. Trust Gates uses an anonymous first-party cookie to remember your browser (for saved jobs and site analytics). This identifier is random and is not linked to your name. IP addresses are used only for security and rate limiting — never as your identity.

Email. Providing your email is always voluntary. If you share it (to save jobs across devices or receive alerts), we use it only for that purpose, and every email includes an unsubscribe link. We never sell personal data.

Applications and messages. When you apply or message an employer, the details you submit (name, email, message, CV) are shared with that employer only.

Cookies. We use strictly necessary cookies (session, CSRF protection, anonymous visitor ID). You can clear them in your browser at any time.

Retention & rights. You may request deletion of your data by contacting us. CVs and messages are retained while relevant to the employer's hiring process.
