This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store and protect personal information, and the rights you have under applicable Trinidad & Tobago law, including the Data Protection Act.

​

The data controller for personal information collected via this site is Link A Job (company name / registration details / address / contact email). For privacy queries, contact: privacy@linkajob.co.

​

3. What Personal Data We Collect
We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically:

a. Provided by you
- Name, email, phone, address, date of birth (if supplied), CV/resume, identity documents, certificates, employer references, job preferences, and other application materials.

​

4. Legal Basis & Purpose for Processing
We process personal data to:
- Facilitate job listings, applications, interview bookings, account creation and profile management;
- Communicate with you (notifications, application status, marketing if opted-in);
- Verify identity or credentials where required by an employer;
- Improve and secure our platform (analytics, fraud prevention, abuse detection); and
- Comply with legal obligations (e.g., record keeping).

Processing of personal data is performed based on legitimate interests, contract performance, consent (where required), and legal obligations under Trinidad & Tobago law.

​

5. Sharing & Recipients of Personal Data
We may share personal data with:
- Employers & recruiters: when you apply to a job or explicitly permit us to share your profile; employers may receive your CV and contact info.
- Service providers / processors: hosting, storage (e.g., cloud), email, analytics, payment processors, and background-check vendors acting on our instructions.
- Government or law enforcement: where required by law or to respond to legal process.
We require third-party processors to maintain appropriate security and to process data only on our instructions. Employers are responsible for verifying candidate information and ensuring lawful use of candidate data.

​

6. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies, web beacons and analytics (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel etc.) to improve the site, remember preferences, and serve ads. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser; for detailed cookie controls see our Cookie Settings section on the site.

​

7. International Transfer of Data
Some processors or services we use may be hosted outside Trinidad & Tobago. We will take reasonable steps to ensure adequate protection for any international transfers (contractual safeguards or other measures). If you are in Trinidad & Tobago, we will take care to remain consistent with local data transfer rules in the Data Protection Act.

​

8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described (account maintenance, dispute resolution, legal obligations). Typical retention: active accounts — until account deletion plus a limited archival period (e.g., 2–7 years) where necessary for legal, tax or security reasons. Specific retention schedules are available on request.

​

9. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures (access control, encryption where feasible, secure servers) to protect personal data. However, no system is 100% secure; if a breach affects your data we will take steps to remediate and notify users and authorities as required by applicable law.
