This Privacy Policy explains how MyJobNest (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

This information is used solely to maintain website security, diagnose technical issues, and understand general traffic patterns. It is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
