1. Introduction
At Green Card Jobs, we value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our website and services. Our site sorts and displays publicly available job data from government sources, including the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), to help you find U.S. jobs with green card sponsorship. Data is provided in the public domain by the DOL and used with attribution, but our service is not affiliated with or endorsed by the DOL.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Personal Information: When you sign up or subscribe, we may collect your name, email address, billing information, and other details you provide via forms.
- Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with our site, such as search queries, pages visited, IP addresses, and device information, to improve our services. Specifically, we log your IP address when you perform searches to monitor usage, prevent fraudulent activities (such as chargebacks), enforce anti-scraping measures, and detect potential account sharing. IP addresses are stored securely in our database and are only accessible to authorized administrators for auditing purposes.
- Public Data: Job listings are sourced from publicly available government data files, such as those from the U.S. Department of Labor, and are not personal information. Source: https://www.dol.gov.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide and improve our job search platform and subscription services.
- Process your subscription payments and provide access to employer contacts.
- Respond to your inquiries via email (e.g., info@greencardjobs.net).
- Analyze site usage to enhance functionality and user experience, including monitoring IP addresses to prevent fraud and unauthorized access.

4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it:
- With service providers (e.g., hosting, payment processors) to operate the site, under strict confidentiality agreements.
- If required by law, such as to comply with legal processes, subpoenas, or government requests.
- In connection with a business sale, merger, or transfer, with notice to you.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your data, such as encryption and secure servers. IP addresses are stored in a secure Firestore database with access restricted to authorized administrators. However, no system is completely secure, and you use our site at your own risk.

- EU Residents (GDPR): Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, including IP addresses, and the right to data portability.
