Privacy policy

This policy explains what information Caribbean Hotel Jobs ("we", "us") collects when you use caribbeanhoteljobs.com, how we use it, who can see it and the choices you have. The short version: we collect what we need to run a job board, we show your application only to the employers you apply to, and we never sell your data.

Who we are

Caribbean Hotel Jobs runs caribbeanhoteljobs.com, a job board for hotels, resorts, villas and restaurants in the Caribbean. If you have a question about your data, email hello@caribbeanhoteljobs.com.

What we collect

• Account details: your name, email address and a securely hashed password. If you apply without signing up, we create an account from the details you give us so you can follow your application and set a password later.
• Application details: the name, email, phone or WhatsApp number, island, answers, message and CV you send when you apply.
• Job seeker profile: anything you choose to add, such as a headline, location, experience, skills, languages, photo and CV.
• Sign in with Google, LinkedIn or Facebook: if you choose this, the service tells us your name, email address and an account ID, which we use to create your account and sign you in. We never see your password there, we don't post anything for you, and we don't read anything else from your account. To delete this data, use Delete account in Settings or email us.
• LinkedIn imports: if you upload your LinkedIn PDF or data export, we read it to fill in your profile for you to check. This doesn't connect to your LinkedIn account, and we do not keep the uploaded file unless you also use it as your CV.
• Employer details: company name, description, location, website, logo, photos, the jobs you post and the team members you add.
• Messages and status updates sent through the site.
• Technical data: standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested and time) that we keep for security and to fix problems.

To see how many people use the site, we count page visits ourselves, without cookies and without keeping IP addresses or anything else that identifies you. We do not use third-party analytics, advertising or tracking tools, and we do not build profiles of you for marketing.

How we use it

• To run the service: creating accounts, showing jobs, sending your application to the employer and showing you updates.
• To keep the site safe: stopping spam, fake jobs, fraud and abuse.
• To send service emails, such as password resets, application updates and messages.
• To send job alerts, if you set them up: emails with new jobs that match your saved searches. Every alert email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can change or delete alerts in your account.

We do not send marketing emails unless you ask for them.

We use your information because you asked us to (for example, to send an application), because we need it to provide the service you signed up for, and because we have a legitimate interest in keeping the site safe and working.

Who can see your information

• Employers you apply to. When you apply, that employer and the team members on their account can see your application, profile, CV and contact details, including your phone or WhatsApp number so they can reply. Employers may keep a copy of applications they receive, and their own privacy rules then apply.
• Nobody else, by default. Job seeker profiles are not public and are not shown in search engines.
• The public. Employer profiles and job listings are public, and search engines can show them.
• Our service providers, who process data for us under contract and only on our instructions:
• OVHcloud hosts our servers in the United States.
• Brevo (based in France) sends our emails.
• Our administrators, only when needed to run, support or secure the service.
• Authorities, if the law requires it.

When an employer contacts you on WhatsApp, that conversation happens on WhatsApp under Meta's terms and privacy policy. We cannot see it.

We never sell or rent your personal information.

Where your data is stored

Our servers are in the United States. If you use the site from another country, your information will be transferred there. We choose providers that protect data with strong security and contracts that limit how they can use it.

How long we keep it

• We keep your account information for as long as your account is open.
• You can delete your account at any time in Settings. This permanently removes your profile, CV, applications and messages from the site.
• Daily backups are kept for 14 days and then deleted, so deleted data disappears from backups within 14 days.
• Server logs are deleted on a rolling basis.
• Job listings close automatically after 60 days unless the employer renews them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, data protection laws (for example in Jamaica, Barbados, The Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Lucia, or the EU and UK) give you rights over your information. We give everyone the same rights:

• see the information we hold about you and get a copy
• correct anything that is wrong
• delete your account and data
• object to how we use your information, or ask us to limit it
• take your information to another service

You can see and change most of your information yourself in your account. For anything else, email hello@caribbeanhoteljobs.com and we will reply within 30 days. If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live.

Age

The site is for people who are at least 16 years old and old enough to work where the job is.

Cookies

We only use cookies the site needs to work. See our cookie policy.

Security

The whole site uses HTTPS, passwords are hashed, and CVs are stored privately. Only you and the employers you apply to can download your CV. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and tell us at once if you think your account has been used by someone else.

Changes to this policy

If we make important changes, we will update this page and change the date at the top. If the changes affect how we use information you have already given us, we will also tell you by email.
