If and when we do, AdSense may use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site and other websites, and third-party vendors including Google may use these cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history. We will update this policy before we begin showing any ads.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Legal basis for processing: We process your data based on consent (when you sign up or accept cookies), contract performance (to provide our job search services), legitimate interest (to improve our platform and prevent fraud), and legal obligation (to comply with applicable laws).

Your GDPR rights include:

• Right of access - request a copy of all personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification - request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure - request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Right to data portability - receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Right to object - object to processing based on legitimate interest
• Right to restrict processing - request limitation of how we use your data

Withdrawing consent: You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing contact@legalalphabet.com. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Complaints: You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. A list of EU data protection authorities is available at edpb.europa.eu.

Data retention: We retain account data for as long as your account is active. Job application data is kept for 12 months. Analytics data is retained for 26 months. You can request deletion at any time.
