Google Advertising Cookies
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our 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 our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Data Retention
We retain personal information as long as the user’s account is active. If a user chooses to delete their account, we will remove their personal data promptly. For job listings, once a listing has expired, it will be archived, and users will see a message indicating that the listing has expired if they attempt to click on it. Currently, inactive accounts will not be deleted, but we may revise this policy in the future.
