GDPR & Privacy

WP Career Board integrates with WordPress’s built-in privacy tools to help you comply with GDPR and similar data protection regulations.

What Data WP Career Board Stores

Per employer:

• Company name, logo, description, website, size, industry
• Posted job listings

Per candidate:

• Name and email address
• Cover letters submitted
• Application history and status

System logs:

• Application timestamps

Data Export

WordPress has a built-in personal data export tool. WP Career Board integrates with it so all job board data for a user is included.

To export a user’s data:

1. Go to Tools → Export Personal Data in wp-admin
2. Enter the user’s email address
3. Click Send Request
4. The user receives an email with a link to download their data export

The export includes all applications, cover letters, and profile data associated with that email address.

Data Erasure

To erase a user’s personal data:

1. Go to Tools → Erase Personal Data in wp-admin
2. Enter the user’s email address
3. Click Send Request
4. The user confirms via email
5. After confirmation, WordPress erases all personal data including WP Career Board records

Note: Erasing a user’s data removes their applications and profile. Job listings posted by an employer are not automatically deleted — you may need to manually remove those.

Privacy Policy Page

Add the following to your privacy policy to inform users what data WP Career Board collects:

• Account registration data (name, email)
• Job applications including cover letters
• Activity logs for job board interactions
• No payment data is stored (payments are processed by your e-commerce plugin — WooCommerce, PMPro, or MemberPress — not by WP Career Board directly)

Cookie Usage

WP Career Board does not set any cookies in the free version. Session state (e.g., active dashboard tab) is stored in sessionStorage (browser memory only, not a cookie, cleared when the browser tab closes).
