Here we set out the information AutoTechHires (autotechhires.com) collects, what we do with it and what control you have over it.
The short version: technicians, body techs, painters, service advisors and anyone else hunting for shop work can browse with no account, and whatever they send when applying travels to the hiring shop, never to AutoTechHires.
Other than standard server logs, the only personal data on file comes from employers that pay for job posts.
What we collect
- Employers buying a listing: the fields filled in on the posting form: the shop, dealership or company name, a contact person and email, and the job details (title, description, location, pay and apply link). We publish the job details, while the contact person and email are kept private and are not shown anywhere on the post.
- Payments: Stripe runs checkout. Your card number is entered on a Stripe-hosted form and is not passed to AutoTechHires; what reaches us is a notice that the charge succeeded, plus the receipt details. For Stripe's own data practices, see Stripe's privacy policy.
- Job seekers: only the standard server data covered in the next item.AutoTechHires has no candidate accounts or profiles. The Apply button opens the shop's own application page, so your resume, ASE certifications, driving record details and answers are received by that employer and not by us.
- Server data: like nearly every site, our hosting provider logs simple details of each request, including IP address, browser and the page visited, so AutoTechHires stays protected and online.
- Support emails: messages you email to us are saved so we can respond and refer back to earlier conversations.
Why we use it
- Putting paid shop job posts on the board and maintaining them.
- Contacting employers about their jobs, for example with receipts, reminders before a post expires, requested edits and replies to support emails.
- Operating, protecting and improving AutoTechHires.
- Complying with the law, including keeping tax records.
Personal information is never sold, and we never pass it to outside businesses for their marketing.
Cookies and analytics
AutoTechHires carries no advertising trackers of any kind on its job pages.
We may run privacy-friendly analytics that show broad trends, such as total page views and referring sites. Those numbers are looked at only as totals and are not used to profile individual visitors.
Cookies are limited to the ones required for the site to function, for example the cookies Stripe places at checkout.
Service providers
AutoTechHires relies on a few outside providers: Stripe for payments, plus vendors for hosting and the database.
Those providers may use the data solely to deliver their services to AutoTechHires.
Google Jobs and other search engines can crawl active posts, though they only read the public job text and never an employer's private contact information.
How long shop and payment records are kept
We hold employer job and payment records for as long as running the board and meeting legal and tax recordkeeping duties require.
Once a post expires and leaves AutoTechHires, a record of it can stay in our database.
You may request deletion of your information at any time by following the process described next.
Your privacy rights
Based on your location, the California Consumer Privacy Act, the EU/UK GDPR or similar laws may give you the right to see, fix, erase or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing.
Email privacy requests to [email protected] .
Once we confirm the request is genuine, we respond within the time limit set by the law that applies.
Exercising these rights will never lead to worse treatment from us.
Children
AutoTechHires is meant for auto repair and collision employers and for adults who work in, or are starting out in, those shops.
The site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than that.
