Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

RustyBoard ("we", "our", or "us") is a job board dedicated to the Rust programming community. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website at rustyboard.com (the "Service").

RustyBoard is operated as a sole trader registered in the United Kingdom. For any privacy-related inquiries, please contact us at support@rustyboard.com.

2. Information We Collect

We are committed to minimal data collection. Here's what we collect:

2.1 Newsletter Subscription

If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. This is processed by our email service provider, Resend, to send you job updates and relevant content. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

2.2 Job Submission

If you submit a job posting URL through our "Post a Job" page, we collect the URL you provide and your email address for confirmation purposes.

2.3 Payment Information

For paid job promotions, payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your payment card details. Stripe's privacy policy applies to payment processing: stripe.com/privacy.

2.4 Automatically Collected Information

We use Cloudflare to host our website, which may collect basic analytics data such as page views, country of origin, and browser type. This data is aggregated and not personally identifiable. We do not use cookies for tracking purposes.

2.5 Affiliate Links

Some links on our site may be affiliate links. When you click these links, the affiliate partner may use cookies to track referrals. These cookies are set by the third party, not by RustyBoard.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information solely for:

• Sending newsletter updates (if subscribed)
• Processing job posting submissions
• Processing payments for premium features
• Improving our Service based on aggregate usage patterns

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties, except for the service providers mentioned above (Resend for email, Stripe for payments, Cloudflare for hosting) who are bound by their own privacy policies.

5. Data Retention

Newsletter subscriptions are retained until you unsubscribe. Job submission data is retained for as long as the job posting remains active. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting support@rustyboard.com.

6. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the UK or European Economic Area, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing of your data
• Request data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@rustyboard.com.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for individuals under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
