WorkerSpring Privacy Policy 

Last Updated: November 21, 2025

Introduction


This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how WorkerSpring (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, protects, and discloses your Personal Information when you use our website, mobile app, and related services (collectively, the “Sites”), or when you communicate with us. This Policy also explains how we handle Google user data when you sign in or connect via Google services.

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Important Notice on Google User Data:
If you sign in to our Sites using your Google account or our app accesses Google services, we may collect, use, store, or share certain Google user data as described in this Policy. Our app, WorkerSpring Events Calendar, uses this data solely to provide or improve core user-facing features such as job searches, community networking,  and event scheduling.

When our app accesses your Google Calendar data, it does so through the Google Calendar API. For more information about how WorkerSpring integrates with the Google Calendar API, please visit our API home page at https://app.workerspring.com/google-calendar.

We only use Google user data to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent in the app’s user interface and that are reasonably expected by you. We do not use or transfer Google user data for advertising, profiling unrelated to employment or networking functionality, or any form of data monetization. We do not share Google user data with third parties except as necessary to provide core app functionality, comply with law, or with your explicit consent.

We may occasionally update this Policy. Any updates will be posted on this webpage, and if we change how we use Google user data, we will notify you via in-app notifications or email. Your continued use of the Sites after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
sed Policy.

1. What is Personal Information?


When we refer to “Personal Information” in this Policy, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being linked to a specific person.

For clarity, when we refer to “Google User Data” in this Policy, we mean any personal data originating from or associated with your Google account, including but not limited to your Google profile information (e.g., name, email address), authentication tokens, or other data accessed via Google APIs (e.g., Google Sign-In or Google Calendar API).

  • With Employers, Community Organizations or Groups: Basic profile information (e.g., name, email) when you apply for jobs or join networks, to enable matching and communication.

5. Data Protection Mechanisms for Sensitive Data


We prioritize the protection of sensitive Personal Information, including sensitive Google user data (e.g., employment details or geolocation used for job matching). 
  • Encryption: All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.3, and data at rest is encrypted with AES-256. 
  • Access Controls: Role-based access limits data to authorized personnel only, with multi-factor authentication required. 
  • Security Audits: Regular third-party audits and compliance with standards like SOC 2. 
  • Anonymization: Where possible, we anonymize data for analytics to prevent re-identification. 
  • Breach Response: In the event of a breach, we notify affected users and authorities within 72 hours as required by law. 

For Google user data, including data from the Google Calendar API, we adhere to Google's API Services User Data Policy, using scoped permissions and minimizing data retention. Our use and transfer of Google user data received from Google APIs complies with the Limited Use requirements, meaning we only use such data to provide or improve user-facing features and not for other purposes such as advertising.

6. Data Retention and Deletion


We retain Personal Information, including Google user data, only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. 
  • General Retention: Account data is retained while your account is active; employment information is kept for 3 years post-activity for job matching, then anonymized. 
  • Google User Data: Deleted immediately upon account deletion or revocation of Google permissions. Inactive data is purged after 12 months.  We delete all Google user data received via Google APIs within 30 days of your disconnection of our access (for example, through Google Account Permissions) or account deletion, unless a longer retention period is required by law, and the 12-month inactive data purge described above does not extend the retention of Google user data.
  • Deletion Requests: You may request deletion of your data via privacy@workerspring.com; we process within 30 days, subject to legal holds.

7. What Are Your Consumer Data Choices?


How Can You Opt-Out of the Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (unless you block them). The Sites may use cookies, pixels, and other web technologies to collect Anonymized Data. This helps us measure user interactions including but not limited to user trends and engagement, demographic information and retention rates. 

We may use first party cookies, served directly by us to the devices that access the Sites, to recognize those devices when they revisit. We also use third party cookies, which are cookies that are placed by other parties we work with. These “third party cookies” may, for example originate from websites such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or other social media services. Since the cookie policies of these sites change of time, you should reference their policies by visiting the privacy policy webpages of these third parties.

What Analytics Sites Do We Use? 
The Sites use third-party analytics tools, including those listed below. 

Google. We have enabled Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics on the Sites to learn more about how visitors navigate the Sites and view content. Google will set cookies on your browser and your web browser automatically sends data to them such as URLs of the websites you visited prior to visiting the Sites, when you visit those websites, in combination with the IP addresses assigned the devices you used to access the internet. These Google services provide us with analytical information that we use to improve the Sites, to makes sure they are easy to use, and to develop content that is interesting and customized. For more information on how Google uses this data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps

Zoho. We use Zoho, an analytics provider, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for our services. The information gathered includes the number of page views, sessions, unique visitors, session duration, bounce rate, source of traffic, geographic location, device type, browser type, and operating system type. Zoho uses technologies like cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts to analyze trends, administer the website, track users' movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. The data collected relates to your interactions with our services, including the pages you visit, the links you click on, the time spent on those pages, your search queries, and other statistics. This information may be used to create reports about the use of our services and to optimize our marketing efforts. In addition, Zoho may also collect your IP address, which can be used to create a general estimation of your geographic location. However, your IP address is typically not linked with your identifiable information within the Zoho analytics. For more information on Zoho's practices and their commitment to user privacy, you can review the Zoho's privacy policy at Zoho's Privacy Policy. You may also opt out of Zoho’s analytics tracking on our website at any time by disabling your cookies. 

We may use the data collected by these analytics tools to improve our services, for example, by gaining insights into how users interact with our services, identifying usage trends, and ensuring the technical functionality of our services. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not govern the practices of third parties, like Google or Zoho and their use of data they collect from us. We endeavor to only share the data necessary for them to perform their services.

8. How Do We Use Anonymized Data?


We may use Personal Information to create anonymous aggregate data on users of our Sites, which describes users as a group but does not reveal the identity of individual users. We may use Anonymized Data to understand users’ needs, to determine user demographics and usage patterns, to determine what kinds of products and services we can provide, and to improve and enrich our products and services and the Sites. We may disclose Anonymized Data for any lawful purposes, which may include, without limitation, purposes not subject to this Policy.

9. Children's Privacy


Our Sites are not intended for children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children. If we learn we have, we will delete it promptly. If we become aware that we have unintentionally collected Personal Information from a child under 13, we will delete such information as soon as reasonably practicable and take steps to prevent further collection, consistent with applicable laws such as the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
