Privacy
Your data, in plain English.
This page explains what this personal project collects, why it needs it, where it goes, and what choices you have.
Who is responsible
Mario Behrends is responsible for First Job Daily. This is a small personal project, not a finished company product. Questions or data requests can be sent to hello@firstjobdaily.com.
Pre-launch note: the signup is not live. The contact address above is the real one. The final hosting regions are not settled yet and must be named here before public signup is switched on.
What is collected
- Your email address, so the job emails can reach you.
- Your first name, only if you choose to give it.
- One to three job titles, one location, and a search radius.
- The time you gave consent, the consent version, and the exact wording you accepted.
- Delivery and STOP records needed to prevent duplicate or unwanted emails.
- For a paid pass: the Paddle transaction id, payment status, amount, currency, and applied discount.
First Job Daily does not receive your full card or bank details. Paddle collects the checkout and billing information it needs to process the purchase. No CV, work history, password, or qualification data is collected. The page uses no advertising tracker and no non-essential cookie.
Vercel Web Analytics counts page visits so basic usage can be checked without opening the production database. It sets no cookie and no persistent visitor id: a visit is identified by a hash Vercel derives from the incoming request, and that identifier is discarded after 24 hours. What it keeps per visit is the page, the referrer, browser and device type, and city-level location, none of it linked back to an individual, an email address, or a stored IP address.
Vercel Speed Insights measures how fast the page loads so a slow page can be found and fixed. It sets no cookie and records no browsing session across pages: what it keeps per page load is the page, network and device type, browser, country-level location, and load-time measurements, none of it linked back to an individual, an email address, or a stored IP address.
Why it is used
The information is used only to set up the search you requested, check for matching vacancies, send the confirmation and daily job emails, process STOP replies, and keep the service from sending the same work twice.
Payment information is used to take the one-time payment, prevent fraud, keep required transaction records, and confirm that the seven-day service may start. That processing is necessary to perform the purchase contract and meet applicable accounting and tax duties.
Legal basis
The signup and email delivery use the consent you give by ticking the box. The box is not preselected. You can withdraw that consent at any time by replying STOP. Withdrawing consent does not change the lawfulness of processing that happened before you withdrew it.
The email address, titles, location, and radius are required because the requested search cannot work without them. Your name is optional.
The optional question
After signup, the page may ask which future improvement would help most. Answering is optional. The answer is stored separately with no name, no email address, no user id, and no link to your search. It cannot change the search or the seven-day test.
Because the answer is deliberately anonymous, it cannot later be connected back to you or deleted as your personal answer.
Where it goes
When the service goes live, Vercel will serve the page and hold the anonymous page-visit counts and load-time measurements described above, and Upstash will hold the short-lived signup queue. A private computer at the operator's home will collect the request, store the search locally, and send the emails. These providers process only the information needed for their part of that flow.
Paddle is the authorised reseller and merchant of record for paid purchases. Its checkout handles payment methods, applicable taxes, receipts, and payment support. Paddle processes buyer information under its own privacy notice and buyer terms. A 100% access code does not open Paddle Checkout and asks for no payment method.
The queue removes the readable signup after the local computer has accepted it. A short dated handling record remains without the email address in readable form. The final provider regions and any transfer safeguards will be recorded here before live signup is enabled.
How long it is kept
- The web queue keeps the readable request only until it is accepted and acknowledged.
- An unpaid pending signup expires from the web payment queue after 24 hours.
- Payment records are kept for the periods required for transaction, tax, fraud-prevention, and legal obligations.
- The search runs for seven calendar days and does not renew.
- The local search and email history remain while the MVP test is reviewed, normally for a matter of weeks, then they are deleted.
- The anonymous product-feedback count remains while it is useful for deciding what to build next.
Your choices and rights
Reply STOP to any email to withdraw consent and stop future delivery. That also cancels unsent work already queued for you.
You can also ask to see the personal information held about you, correct it, delete it, limit how it is used, or have it provided in a portable form where that right applies. Email hello@firstjobdaily.com. You can also complain to your local data-protection authority. In the Netherlands, that is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
The service does not profile you, decide whether you are qualified, or make an automatic decision about you. It only checks vacancy pages against the title and location you entered.
