This Privacy Policy explains how Lightning Job Search (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, tools, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

1. Information We Collect

  • Support communications (for example, messages you send us, feedback, or bug reports)
  • Purchase and subscription information (for example, plan selected, billing status, and transaction identifiers)

Payment processing is handled by third-party payment processors. We do not store your full payment card number.

Information collected automatically

  • Device and usage data (for example, pages viewed, clicks, session activity, and approximate location derived from IP address)
  • Log data (for example, IP address, browser type, timestamps, and referring URLs)
  • Cookies and similar technologies used for functionality, analytics, and performance

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service
  • Process purchases and manage subscriptions
  • Communicate with you about the Service (including updates, security notices, and support)
  • Monitor for fraud, abuse, and security incidents
  • Understand how users interact with the Service (analytics and performance)
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. How We Share Information

We may share information in limited circumstances, including:

  • Service providers who help us run the Service (for example, hosting, analytics, customer support, email delivery).
  • Payment processors to process transactions and manage subscriptions.
  • Legal and safety if required to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights, safety, and security.
  • Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets (information may be transferred as part of that transaction).

4. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Service working, remember preferences, and understand usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

5. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary based on the type of data and why it is collected.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • Marketing emails: If we send marketing emails, you can opt out using an unsubscribe link.
  • Cookies: You can disable cookies via your browser, though the Service may be affected.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. International Users

If you access the Service from outside the United States, you understand that information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
