How your information is protected
When you apply for work on this board, you hand over personal information. This page says — in plain words — exactly what is collected, where it is kept, who can see it, and what is not in place yet. Nothing here is dressed up: if the system does not do something yet, it says so.
What we collect when you apply
- Your name
- Your email address and/or phone number (whichever you give us)
- Where you are based (your town or area)
- The country and region you are applying from, when the job board asks for it
- How far you are willing to travel for work
- The kind of work you do (the trades you pick)
- The job titles you tick from the standard list of 679 (the ones that fit the work you can do)
- When you can start
- Your experience, in your own words, when you choose to give it
- Your answers to the interview questions for the job you applied to
- Which job you applied to, when you applied, and whether you came in by the QR code or the web board
- Where your application stands (for example: interview finished, being reviewed, hired) — this status is ours, written as your application moves
- The record that you agreed to the consent statement at the end of the application, and when you agreed
- On faces whose work is restricted to workers 18 and older, the record that you confirmed you are 18 or older, and when
- That is the whole list. The application never asks for a Social Security number or a date of birth — there is no place in the system to put one.
Where it is stored
- Your application is stored in this hiring board's own database, on the same server that runs this website, under the business's own account.
- It is not stored with an outside hiring company, and no other business gets a copy of the database.
Who can see your application
- Weather Resistors, which runs this platform, can see every application.
- If you applied to one employer's opening, that employer can see your full application, including your phone number and email, inside their signed-in board.
- Other employers on this platform can also find you. Once you finish an application, employers looking for your kind of work can see your profile — your name, town, the work you do, and your answers — without your phone number or email. If an employer asks for your application, your contact details are delivered to that employer inside the platform so they can contact you about work.
- Weather Resistors provides this service free of charge — employers are not charged for it, and you are never charged anything, for applying or for being matched.
- Your application is never posted on a public page, and it is never given to anyone outside this platform's employers.
How your application reaches the employer
- Inside the employer's signed-in board on this website. Your application is not emailed around and is not posted on any public page.
- If an employer finds you in the pool and asks for your application, it is delivered the same way — inside their signed-in board here, never by email.
- Sign-ins to the boards run over the website's secure (HTTPS) connection, and sign-in cookies are set so browsers only send them over that secure connection.
Checking on your own application
- When you finish applying, you get a private link that only opens your own application's status. Anyone holding that link can see the status, so keep it to yourself.
- On this page, the box below — using that same private link — shows you which employer received your application and when you applied. It shows nothing about anyone else's application.
How long we keep it, and fixing or removing it
- We keep your application while your profile is active and for 24 months after the last activity on it. After that it is deleted automatically, together with its interview answers.
- If an application has to be kept for a legal reason (a legal hold), it is kept until that hold is released instead.
- If anything in your application is wrong, or you want it removed sooner, contact the board owner — Alexander Richards, Weather Resistors — at 716-222-7663 (716-222-ROOF) or info@weatherresistors.com, and it will be corrected or removed by hand.
Not yet — what is not in place
- The automatic deletion above runs when the platform's maintenance runs the purge — no scheduler calls it yet, and there is no self-serve delete button. The owner's contact above removes an application by hand on request, at any time.
- There is no button to download your own full record yet — ask the owner and you will be told everything the board holds about your application.
Who has my application?
Open this page from your private application link — the one you got when you finished applying (your status link) — and this box will show which employer received your application and when. Without that link, this page shows nothing about any application, including yours.
