3. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/EEA/UK Users)

If you are located in the EU, EEA, or UK, we process your personal data only where we have a valid legal basis under the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") or UK GDPR:

• Performance of a Contract: Processing necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you (e.g., delivering a purchased product, providing account access)
• Consent: Where you have given clear, affirmative consent for us to process your data for a specific purpose (e.g., subscribing to our email marketing list). You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests (e.g., fraud prevention, improving our services, direct marketing to existing customers), provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms
• Legal Obligation: Processing necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g., tax reporting, responding to lawful government requests)

4. How We Share Your Information

We may share your personal information with the following categories of recipients:

• Payment Processors: Stripe, PayPal, or other payment processors that handle transaction processing on our behalf. These processors have their own privacy policies governing their use of your financial data.
• Email Service Providers: Third-party platforms we use to send transactional and marketing emails
• Analytics Providers: Services such as Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics, and similar tools that help us understand Site usage
• Advertising Partners: Platforms like Google Ads, Facebook/Meta, and other advertising networks for targeted advertising and conversion tracking
• Hosting and Infrastructure Providers: Cloud hosting, CDN providers, and other infrastructure services
• Professional Advisors: Lawyers, accountants, auditors, and insurers where necessary
• Law Enforcement and Government Authorities: When required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others
• Marketing Partners and Data Purchasers: Third parties with whom we partner to present offers we believe may interest you, and third parties to whom we may license or sell personal information, including for their own marketing purposes and in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration
• Affiliated Brands: Businesses under common ownership or control with the Company, and brands or personas operated by the Company, which may market their own products and services to you
• Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy proceeding, your information may be transferred as a business asset

We may sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by applicable law, including to or with advertising networks, marketing partners, and data purchasers, and we may receive compensation for doing so. The categories of personal information that may be sold or shared include: identifiers (such as name, email address, phone number, and IP address), commercial information (such as purchase history), internet activity (such as interactions with our Site and advertisements), approximate location, and inferences drawn from the foregoing (including survey and quiz responses and derived audience profiles). You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information at any time — see Sections 5–7 below and our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page. We do not sell sensitive personal information, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 18 years of age.

Third-party recipients are independent businesses. We require third parties who purchase or receive personal information from us to agree contractually to use it only for lawful purposes and in compliance with applicable privacy law. Once information is disclosed to a third party in accordance with this Privacy Policy, that third party is an independent business: its use of the information is governed by its own privacy policy and legal obligations, not ours. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible or liable for the independent acts, omissions, or data practices of any third party that receives information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and any claim arising from a third party's independent conduct lies against that third party. This paragraph does not limit any non-waivable right you may have under applicable law.

5. Your Rights Under the GDPR (EU/EEA/UK Users)

If you are located in the EU, EEA, or UK, you have the following rights under the GDPR and/or UK GDPR:

• Right of Access (Article 15): You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how we process it.
• Right to Rectification (Article 16): You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete personal data.
• Right to Erasure / Right to Be Forgotten (Article 17): You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, you withdraw consent, or we have no overriding legitimate interest.
• Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18): You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to Data Portability (Article 20): You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
• Right to Object (Article 21): You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to direct marketing, we will stop processing immediately.
• Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making (Article 22): You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you. We do not currently engage in solely automated decision-making.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.

International Data Transfers: Your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. Where we transfer data outside the EU/EEA/UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms. You may request a copy of the safeguards by contacting us.

Data Protection Officer: For GDPR-related inquiries, contact our data protection representative at support@unemployed.com.

6. Your Rights Under the CCPA / CPRA (California Residents)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 ("CPRA"). This section applies solely to California residents and supplements the rest of this Privacy Policy.

6.1 Categories of Personal Information Collected

In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information (as defined by the CCPA):

• Identifiers: Name, email address, IP address, account name
• Personal Information under Cal. Civ. Code 1798.80(e): Name, address, telephone number, financial information (payment card details processed by third-party payment processors)
• Commercial Information: Products purchased, purchasing history, transaction details
• Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity: Browsing history on our Site, search history on our Site, interactions with our Site and advertisements
• Geolocation Data: Approximate location derived from IP address
• Inferences: Inferences drawn from any of the above to create a profile about consumer preferences

6.1A Category Disclosure Table (CPRA)

For each category of personal information, this table summarizes our sources, purposes, the categories of recipients to whom it is disclosed for a business purpose, and whether it may be sold or shared:

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (as defined by the CPRA) beyond payment credentials handled by our payment processors, we do not use or disclose any personal information for purposes of inferring characteristics about sensitive categories, and we retain each category only as long as described in Section 9.

6.2 Your California Privacy Rights

As a California resident, you have the right to:

• Right to Know: Request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the business purpose for collecting or selling, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
• Right to Delete: Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Right to Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: Direct us to not sell or share your personal information. We may sell or share personal information as described in Section 4, and we honor every opt-out request — see our Do Not Sell or Share page for one-step instructions.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: Direct us to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information to purposes necessary to provide the services.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. We will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices, provide a different quality of service, or suggest any of the foregoing because you exercised a right.

6.3 How to Exercise Your California Rights

To exercise any of your rights, you may submit a verifiable consumer request by emailing us at support@unemployed.com with the subject line "California Privacy Request." We will verify your identity by matching at least two data points you provide (such as the email address and name associated with your purchase, or a recent transaction detail) against information we have on file; for requests to access specific pieces of information or to delete, we may require a signed declaration of identity. We never require you to create an account to submit a request, and we use information collected for verification only for that purpose. We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days (which may be extended by an additional 45 days if reasonably necessary, with written notice). You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf; the agent must provide written authorization from you along with proof of identity.

6.4 "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information"

Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information. We provide a dedicated Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, linked from the footer of this Site. We honor Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signals as valid opt-out requests. You may also email us at support@unemployed.com with the subject line "Do Not Sell/Share." Once you opt out, we will not sell or share your personal information unless you later provide affirmative reauthorization.

6.5 California "Shine the Light" Law (Cal. Civ. Code Section 1798.83)

California residents may request a list of the categories of personal information that we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year, along with the names and addresses of such third parties.

Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on this page. Users can change their personal information by emailing us.

Residents of states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws may have similar rights to access, delete, correct, and opt-out of the sale of personal information or targeted advertising. To exercise these rights, please email support@unemployed.com. We will comply with all applicable state privacy laws.

7.2 Canada (PIPEDA)

If you are a Canadian resident, you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal information under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Contact us to exercise these rights.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use the following types of cookies and similar technologies:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Site to function properly. These cannot be disabled.
• Performance/Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information anonymously (e.g., Google Analytics).
• Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalized experience.
• Advertising/Targeting Cookies: Used to deliver relevant advertisements and track ad campaign performance across websites (e.g., Facebook Pixel, Google Ads remarketing tags).

Specific tracking technologies we use. So there is no ambiguity, the Site currently uses, and you consent to, the following third-party tracking technologies on our pages: the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which collects information about the pages you visit on our Site, the actions you take (such as viewing a page or beginning a checkout), and device/browser identifiers, and transmits it to Meta Platforms, Inc. so that we can measure advertising performance and show you relevant advertising on Meta's platforms; Vercel Analytics, which collects aggregate page-view and performance data; and session/attribution parameters that we store in your browser to connect your visit to your purchase. These tools operate at our direction as described here, and your use of the Site with notice of this section constitutes your consent to their operation.

Managing Cookies: You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies, we obtain it through the consent mechanisms required in your jurisdiction; we also honor Global Privacy Control signals as described in Section 6.

8A. Telephone Calls, Text Messages, and Call Recording

By providing your telephone number to us — on any checkout page (including checkout pages operated for us by our payment processors, such as Commas/FanBasis and JVZoo), a quiz or survey, a lead form, or otherwise — you expressly consent to receive calls and text (SMS/MMS) messages from Unemployed.com, from those acting on our behalf, and, where your consent so states, from our marketing partners, at the number you provided, for transactional, informational, and marketing purposes. You agree that such calls and messages may be made or sent using an automatic telephone dialing system, an artificial or prerecorded voice, or automated text messaging technology. Your consent to marketing calls and texts is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. A current list of the categories of marketing partners with whom your number may be shared, and the identity of any partner to whom your number has been sold or shared, is available on request at support@unemployed.com.

How we conduct calls and texts: We place marketing calls and texts only during permitted hours in your local time zone; we honor the National Do Not Call Registry and applicable state do-not-call lists except where we have your consent or an established business relationship; we comply with applicable state telemarketing and text-message laws (including, where applicable, registration requirements and per-day contact limits); and we maintain records of your consent — including the date, time, page, and the disclosure language you saw — for as long as required by applicable law.

Opting out: You may revoke consent to text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message, and to calls by telling our representative or emailing support@unemployed.com with the subject line "Do Not Call." You may revoke consent through any reasonable means, and we will honor revocations within the time required by applicable law and FCC rules.

Where we collect your phone number on a checkout or form, the consent described in this section is also disclosed at the point of collection. Consent given at the point of collection, together with this section, constitutes your prior express written consent for the communications described above.

Call recording and monitoring: Calls between you and us (or those acting on our behalf) may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance, training, and record-keeping purposes. Where applicable law requires the consent of all parties to record a call, your continued participation in a call after notice of recording constitutes your consent.

8B. De-Identified and Aggregated Data

We may create de-identified, anonymized, or aggregated data from personal information (for example, statistical summaries of how buyers use our products). De-identified and aggregated data is not personal information, and we may use, license, sell, and disclose it for any lawful purpose, without restriction and without further notice to you. Where we maintain data as de-identified under applicable law, we commit to maintaining it in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify it, except as permitted by law to test the effectiveness of our de-identification processes.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention period depends on the nature of the data and the purpose for processing:

• Account and transaction data: Retained for the duration of your account plus 7 years for tax and accounting compliance
• Marketing data: Retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, plus a suppression list to honor your opt-out
• Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized data may be retained indefinitely
• Support correspondence: Retained for 3 years after the last interaction

10. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include: encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL), restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis, regular security assessments, and use of reputable third-party service providers with their own security commitments.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.

11. Children's Privacy

The Site and Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from anyone under 18 years of age (or under the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, which may be 13 or 16 depending on local law). If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the applicable age threshold, we will promptly delete that information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@unemployed.com.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. We will indicate material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we may also send notice via email (if we have your email address). Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

12A. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Privacy Policy or our data practices — including any claim under any federal, state, or international privacy or consumer-protection law — is subject to the binding individual arbitration provisions, class action waiver, jury trial waiver, informal dispute resolution requirements, and limitation periods set forth in our Terms of Service, which are incorporated into this Privacy Policy by reference. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable statutory right you may have under applicable law.

12B. Additional Detail for U.S. State Privacy Laws

Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Minnesota, Tennessee, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Rhode Island, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws have rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of their personal data, and to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and certain profiling. Exercise any of these rights by emailing support@unemployed.com with the subject line "State Privacy Request." We respond within the time required by your state's law (generally 45 days, extendable once where permitted).

Right to appeal: If we decline to act on your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision with the subject line "Privacy Appeal" within a reasonable period. We will respond to appeals within the period required by your state's law (generally 45–60 days) with a written explanation. If your appeal is denied, you may contact your state Attorney General.

Nevada residents: Nevada law (SB 220) permits you to opt out of the sale of certain covered information. Submit a request to support@unemployed.com with the subject line "Nevada Opt-Out."

12C. Do Not Track and Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. There is no accepted standard for DNT, and, like most websites, we do not respond to DNT signals as such. However, we do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal information for the browser sending it, as described in Section 6.4.

12D. Email Marketing Practices

Commercial email we send complies with CAN-SPAM: truthful subject lines and sender information, a functioning unsubscribe mechanism in every marketing message, and honoring of unsubscribe requests within ten (10) business days (typically immediately). Unsubscribing from marketing email does not stop transactional email about your purchases or account. We maintain a suppression list so that unsubscribed addresses are not re-added by later imports.

12E. Biometric Information

We do not collect, purchase, or sell biometric identifiers or biometric information (such as fingerprints, faceprints, or voiceprints used to identify you). Photographs or author images you voluntarily upload to your own website are used to display your site, not for biometric identification.

12F. Financial Incentives

We do not offer financial incentives, price differences, or service-level differences in exchange for the retention or sale of personal information, and we will never discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right.

12G. Security Incidents

If a security incident affecting your personal information triggers a notification obligation under applicable law, we will notify you and the required regulators without unreasonable delay, in the manner required by the law of your jurisdiction.

12H. Advertising Industry Opt-Out Resources

Beyond the rights above, you can limit interest-based advertising across many companies through industry tools: the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info, the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org, and, for Meta specifically, the ad preferences settings inside your Facebook or Instagram account. Mobile devices also offer system-level limits on ad tracking.

12I. Scope Notes

This Privacy Policy covers consumers and visitors to our Site and buyers of our products. It does not cover information practices of Member Sites created by our customers using our site-builder tools — each Member Site owner is the party responsible for that site's privacy practices. If you apply to work with us, application information is used solely for evaluating the application.

12I-2. Categories of Service Providers

The categories of service providers and contractors that process personal information on our behalf under contracts restricting their use of it are: payment processing, web and application hosting, content delivery, email delivery, SMS/voice delivery, analytics, advertising measurement, AI model providers (for the writing and image features), customer-support tooling, fraud prevention, and professional services (legal and accounting). A current list of the specific providers in each category is available on request at support@unemployed.com.

12J. Accessibility of This Policy

If you need this Privacy Policy in an alternative format, contact support@unemployed.com and we will provide it in a form reasonably accessible to you.
