We get it — your data is your business. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and what you can do about it. WanderTrustJobs is committed to keeping things transparent, secure, and respectful.

1. Who We Are

WanderTrustJobs (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is an online platform connecting backpackers (aka Wanderers) with WorkHosts across Australia. Our site is: www.wandertrustjobs.com

If you have questions, email us at [contact@wandertrustjobs.com].

2. What We Collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

A) Info you give us directly:

• Name, email address, profile info
• Reviews, listings, comments, messages

CVs or job applications (if you upload them)

B) Info we collect automatically:

• Device info, IP address, browser type
• What pages you visit and for how long
• Cookies (not the chocolate chip kind – see below)

3. How We Use Your Info

We use your data to:

• Let you create and manage your profile
• Match Wanderers with WorkHosts
• Improve the platform and fix bugs
• Send you important updates
• Keep the community safe and fair

We don’t sell your data. Full stop.

4. Sharing Your Info

We only share your data when it’s:

• Needed to operate the platform (e.g. with hosting providers, payment processors)
• Legally required (e.g. a court order)
• Part of your use of the site (e.g. if you post a review, it’s public)

We might anonymise your data and use it for general stats — but nothing personally identifiable.

5. Cookies & Tracking

Yes, we use cookies. Mainly to make the site work properly, but also for analytics so we can see how the site’s being used.

You can change your cookie settings via your browser, but parts of the site might break if you block everything.

6. How We Keep Things Secure

We use secure servers, data encryption, and common sense to protect your info. That said, no system is bulletproof — so please use strong passwords and don’t share your login with anyone.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you’re based, you might have the right to:

• Access or correct your data
• Delete your account
• Object to how we use your info
• Lodge a complaint with a data authority

Want to do any of the above? Drop us a message at [contact@wandertrustjobs.com] and we’ll sort it out.

8. Data Retention

We keep your info only as long as we need to. If you delete your account, we’ll remove personal info unless we have a legal reason to keep it.

9. Third-Party Links

We sometimes link to external sites. If you follow those, you’re playing by their rules — not ours. Always check their policies.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this from time to time. If we make big changes, we’ll post a notice. Last thing we want is to be sneaky about it.
