Who we are
Kirkcaldy Jobs (kirkcaldyjobs.co.uk) is a local job board serving Kirkcaldy and the surrounding Fife area. We connect job seekers with local employers across the KY postcodes.
What data we collect
We collect minimal data. Specifically:
- Job seekers: We do not require you to register or create an account. If you use our contact form, we collect your name and email address solely to respond to your enquiry.
- Employers: If you post a vacancy, we collect your name, company name, email address, and job details in order to publish and manage your listing.
- Newsletter subscribers: If you subscribe to our weekly job digest, we collect your email address. Subscription requires explicit confirmation via a double opt-in email. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email.
- Analytics: We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand how the site is used (e.g. page views, popular categories). No personally identifiable information is collected for analytics.
How we use your data
- To publish job listings submitted by employers
- To respond to enquiries sent via our contact form
- To send the weekly Kirkcaldy Jobs newsletter to confirmed subscribers
- To improve the site based on usage patterns
We do not sell, share, or rent your personal data to third parties.
Newsletter & email marketing
If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is stored securely and used only to send you the weekly Kirkcaldy Jobs job digest. We use a double opt-in process — you must confirm your subscription by clicking a link in a confirmation email before you receive any newsletters.
You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any newsletter email. Your email address will be permanently deleted from our records immediately upon unsubscription.
We do not use your email address for any purpose other than sending the newsletter you signed up for. We will never add you to a mailing list without your explicit consent.
Our legal basis for processing newsletter subscriber data is consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing.
Third-party services
Some job listings on this site are sourced from third-party job aggregators (such as Adzuna). Clicking "Apply Now" on these listings will take you to the third party's website, which has its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the data practices of external sites.
Cookies
This site uses only essential cookies required for it to function. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
Data retention
Job listings are removed after 60 days or when the vacancy is filled, whichever comes first. Enquiry emails are retained for up to 12 months.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email us at contact@kirkcaldyjobs.co.uk.
