Privacy policy

Who we are

WEB JOBS (web-jobs.co.uk) is operated by Big Boy Media Ltd ("we", "us", "our"). We provide a UK IT job search website and featured listing services for recruiters.

Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect or process:

• Search activity — keywords, location, salary filters, and similar preferences you enter when browsing jobs.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and approximate usage data in server logs.
• Partner / recruiter submissions — name, email address, phone number (if provided), company details, job listing content, apply links, and package selections when you use our partner order form.
• Payment references — we do not store card details. PayPal processes payments separately; we may receive payment status and reference information needed to fulfil your order.
• Communications — messages you send to us by email or through forms.
• Admin access — session information for authorised staff using the site administration area.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use the following types of storage:

• Essential — required to operate the site, for example admin login sessions and short-lived browser storage that helps restore your place when returning from a job listing to search results.
• Personalized advertising — only if you accept personalized cookies. These may include third-party advertising cookies (for example Google AdSense) tailored using browsing activity.
• Non-personalized advertising — if you reject personalized cookies, we may still show general contextual ads based on page content rather than your browsing profile. Google may still use limited cookies for fraud prevention and reporting.

You can accept personalized advertising or reject it in favour of non-personalized ads using the notice shown on your first visit. You can change your choice later by clearing site data in your browser and revisiting the site.

How we use information

• Provide job search, listings, and featured job services
• Process and review partner job submissions
• Send operational emails to our team (for example new partner orders)
• Maintain site security and prevent misuse
• Improve the website and troubleshoot technical issues
• Comply with legal obligations

Third parties

We may share limited information with service providers such as:

• Job data partners (for example Adzuna, Reed, DevITjobs) when you follow links to external listings
• PayPal for payment processing
• Email delivery providers for operational notifications
• Google (AdSense) for advertising, if you have accepted advertising cookies
• Hosting and infrastructure providers that help us run the website

External job boards and payment providers have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices.

Legal basis (UK)

Where UK data protection law applies, we rely on appropriate grounds including performance of a contract (for example fulfilling a featured listing order), legitimate interests (for example operating and securing the website), and consent (for non-essential cookies and certain marketing where required).

How long we keep information

We keep information only for as long as needed for the purposes above, including featured job listing durations, partner order records, and reasonable periods for legal, accounting, or dispute resolution requirements.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change when we do.
