Some job listings may redirect users to official government portals, company career pages or other external recruitment websites.

External websites operate under their own privacy policies and terms. JobZar does not control their data-handling practices.

JobZar is an independent recruitment platform and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government organization unless explicitly stated.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain website features.

7. Data Security

We aim to protect personal information through reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including appropriate authentication, access restrictions and security measures.

However, no online service can guarantee absolute protection against every security risk.

Users should keep their passwords confidential and report suspected unauthorized account access.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for providing our services, managing accounts, supporting recruitment activities, maintaining security and fulfilling applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the information involved and the purpose for which it was collected.

When information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymize it unless continued retention is legally necessary or otherwise permitted.
