Privacy Policy

Just London Jobs is a trading name of DV Group Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 09689436, VAT number GB 345 437 102). Our registered office is Delta House, 16 Bridge Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16 1UA. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) under registration number ZA781106.

This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. If you have any questions, get in touch through our contact page.

The short version

We collect as little as we can. Browsing the site needs no account and no personal details. If you apply for a job, your application goes directly to the employer or their recruitment system — it never passes through us and we never see it. We only hold personal details you actively give us: when you contact us, or when you post a job.

What we collect

Everyone who visits

• Server logs — IP address, browser type, pages requested and timestamps, kept for security, debugging and abuse prevention.
• Essential cookies — see the cookies section below.
• Advertising, if you allow it — some pages carry adverts served by Google AdSense. Google may set cookies or read device identifiers to serve and measure them, but only once you have agreed. See the cookies section below.

If you contact us

• Your name, email address, the topic you choose and your message, so we can reply and keep a record of the conversation.

If you post a job

• Your details — contact name, email address, phone number if you give one, and a billing address for your VAT receipt.
• The listing — job title, company name and website, location, salary, description and application destination. This content is published on the board; that is the point of the service.
• Payment — payments are handled by Stripe on their own secure pages. We never receive or store your card details. We keep a record of the order: what was bought, the amounts, the VAT, and Stripe's reference for the transaction.

If you apply for a job

Nothing. Applications happen on the employer's website, applicant tracking system, or by email directly to the employer. Your CV and application details go to them, not to us, and their privacy policies apply. We encourage you to read them.

Why we process it, and the legal bases

• Providing the service you asked for (contract): publishing a paid listing, sending your receipt and manage link, replying to your enquiry.
• Running and protecting the site (legitimate interests): security logs, abuse and bot prevention, fixing problems.
• Keeping records the law requires (legal obligation): orders and VAT invoices are accounting records we must retain.

Cookies

Our own cookies are kept to the minimum needed for the site to work:

• Session and security cookies — keep your session working and protect forms against cross-site request forgery.
• Appearance — remembers your light/dark theme choice.
• Cloudflare — our security and delivery provider may set cookies needed to protect the site from malicious traffic.

One thing on the site is not ours:

• Advertising — pages that carry adverts load them from Google AdSense, which may set its own cookies or read device identifiers to serve adverts and measure whether they were seen. These are the only non-essential cookies on the site, and they are Google's rather than ours.

You choose whether to allow them. When you first arrive we ask, and nothing non-essential is set until you answer. You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page — withdrawing is exactly as easy as giving, and refusing costs you nothing on this site: every page works the same either way, and you will simply see less relevant adverts rather than none. You can also review Google's own advert settings at myadcenter.google.com, or block cookies in your browser.

Your answer is stored in a cookie named CookieControl for up to 90 days, so we do not ask again on every visit. That cookie holds your choices and nothing else.

We do not use third-party analytics cookies. Adverts do not appear on every page: listings paid for by a recruiter, and listings we have promoted, carry no advertising at all.

Who we share information with

We do not sell personal information. We share it only with:

• Service providers who run the site for us — Stripe (payments), our hosting provider (Laravel Cloud), our transactional email provider (which delivers receipts and manage links), and Cloudflare (security and content delivery). Each processes data only on our instructions.
• Google, which serves the adverts on some pages. We do not send Google anything about you: it collects what it collects directly from your browser when an advert loads, as an independent controller under its own privacy policy. Nothing you give us — your enquiry, your listing, your billing details — is ever passed to it.
• The OpusNode job network. Just London Jobs is part of the OpusNode network of job boards. Published job listings — including the company name, listing content and public application details — may be syndicated to and displayed on other boards in the network to give roles wider reach. This applies to published listing content, not to your billing details, which stay with us.
• Authorities, where legally required — if we receive a lawful request we are obliged to answer.

How long we keep things

• Unpaid draft listings — if you start a posting and don't complete payment, the draft (and the personal details in it) is deleted after 30 days.
• Published listings — remain on the site for their paid duration, then in our systems for a limited archive period before being permanently deleted on a rolling schedule.
• Orders and VAT invoices — kept for at least six years, as UK tax law requires.
• Contact messages — kept as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards.
• Server logs — kept for a short rolling window.

International transfers

Some of our providers (for example Stripe) process data outside the UK. Where that happens, transfers rely on recognised safeguards such as UK adequacy decisions or the international data transfer agreement / standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask us to: access the personal data we hold about you; correct it; delete it; restrict or object to our processing of it; or provide it to you in a portable format. To exercise any of these, ask us through our contact page — we will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk (our ICO registration is ZA781106). We would appreciate the chance to resolve it directly first.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our practices change, and the date at the top of this page will always tell you when it was last revised. Significant changes affecting employers with live listings will also be notified by email.
