Effective Date: 01 May 2026
Last Updated: 17 July 2026

JobShouter.com (“Website”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is an informational platform that provides job-related news, government job notifications, employment updates, and other career-related information for general reference purposes only. The Website is owned and operated by its proprietors and authors (collectively, the “Company”).

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and disclose personal data when you access or use the Website and its related services (collectively, the “Services”). The primary purpose of the Website is to disseminate publicly available information. Most content is accessible without registration or submission of personal data.

This Policy is governed by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”), the Information Technology Act, 2000, and other applicable laws of India. Where you access the Website from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we also apply the relevant provisions of the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) as described in Section 10.

By accessing the Website, you acknowledge this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services.

1. Nature of the Website

JobShouter.com is purely an information-providing platform. It does not function as a job application portal, recruitment agency, or intermediary. All information displayed is compiled from publicly available sources for educational and awareness purposes only. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or suitability of any job information. Users are advised to independently verify all details from official government or employer sources before taking any action.

2. Who We Are (Data Controller)

3. Information We Collect

Because the Website is primarily informational, our data collection is minimal and limited to what is necessary for browsing and optional features:

• Voluntary information: name, email address, phone number, or other details, only if you choose to subscribe to job alerts or newsletters, or use our contact forms.
• Automatically collected data: IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time spent on pages.
• Cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies: used for essential site functionality, analytics, and advertising, as described in Section 5.

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to read job notifications or articles. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data or special category data.

4. How We Use Your Data

• Enabling basic Website functionality, security, and user experience.
• Delivering optional job alerts or newsletters to those who subscribe.
• Analysing aggregate traffic to improve content relevance and Website performance.
• Displaying advertising, including personalised or non-personalised advertising as described in Section 5.
• Responding to your voluntary communications or queries.
• Complying with legal obligations.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We use:

• Essential cookies — required for the Website to function.
• Analytics cookies — including Google Analytics, to understand how the Website is used in aggregate. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Advertising cookies — used by us and by third-party vendors to serve and measure advertisements.

5.1 Google AdSense and third-party vendors

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Website or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings / My Ad Center. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices or www.youronlinechoices.eu.
• Third-party vendors and ad networks other than Google may also serve ads on this Website and set their own cookies. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies.
• Google’s handling of data in its advertising products is described at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

5.2 Consent for users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

If you access the Website from the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, we present a consent message through a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) before non-essential cookies are set. Through that message you can:

• consent to the use of cookies and the processing of personal data for personalised advertising and measurement;
• refuse consent, in which case you will continue to see the Website with non-personalised advertising only; or
• manage your choices at a granular level, including choices relating to individual advertising partners.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time by reopening the consent settings link available on the Website, or by clearing cookies in your browser. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5.3 Managing cookies generally

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect parts of the Website.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

Under the DPDP Act, we process personal data on the basis of your consent or on the basis of certain legitimate uses permitted by that Act.

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — for non-essential cookies, personalised advertising, analytics, and newsletter subscriptions.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — for site security, fraud prevention, and the basic operation of the Website, where such interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — where we must retain or disclose data under applicable law.

7. Sharing of Personal Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. Limited sharing occurs only:

• with service providers acting on our behalf (hosting, analytics, email delivery, advertising technology), under appropriate contractual safeguards;
• with advertising partners, where you have consented or where non-personalised advertising is served;
• where legally compelled by a court order, government authority, or applicable law;
• in connection with a merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets, with notice where required.

8. International Transfers

We operate from India. Our service providers, including Google, may process data on servers located outside your country, including in the United States. Where personal data of individuals in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland is transferred outside those regions, such transfers are made under appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or an applicable adequacy decision.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data we hold. The Website does not process financial transactions and its risk profile is accordingly low. No security system is infallible, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify the Data Protection Board of India, and where applicable the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals, as required by law.

10. Your Rights

If you are in India (DPDP Act): you have the right to access a summary of your personal data and our processing of it, to correction and erasure, to nominate another individual to exercise your rights, to withdraw consent, and to grievance redressal.

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland (GDPR): you additionally have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used and disclosed, the right to delete and correct it, and the right to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We do not sell personal information for money.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address in Section 2. We will respond within the timelines prescribed by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law. Subscription data such as an email address for job alerts is deleted promptly upon unsubscription. Analytics and advertising data is retained according to the retention settings of the relevant provider. De-identified or aggregated data may be retained indefinitely.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Website is not directed at children below 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will delete it. Where the DPDP Act requires verifiable parental consent for processing a child’s data, we do not undertake such processing.

13. Third-Party Links

The Website contains links to external sites, including official government portals. This Policy does not apply to those sites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their policies.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last Updated” date above, and where required by law we will seek fresh consent. Continued use of the Website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

15. Grievance Redressal

If you have a complaint about how we handle your personal data, write to our Grievance Officer at jobshouter2021@gmail.com. We aim to acknowledge complaints within a reasonable period and resolve them within the timelines prescribed by applicable law.

16. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The Website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis for informational purposes only. No warranties, express or implied, are given regarding the accuracy or reliability of the content. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company, its owners, authors, and team shall not be liable for damages arising from use of the informational content provided on the Website, or from any reliance placed on job notifications or updates. Nothing in this Policy limits any right you have under mandatory data protection law.

17. Governing Law

This Policy is governed by the laws of India, and disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. This does not deprive you of any protection or right to bring proceedings that mandatory law in your country of residence confers on you.
