This policy describes what information SchoolHires (schoolhires.com) gathers, how that information is used and the choices available to you.
In brief: teachers, assistants, school leaders and other job seekers can use the site without signing up, and anything they submit in an application goes to the school that is hiring rather than to SchoolHires.
Apart from routine server logs, the personal data we hold comes only from schools and other employers that purchase listings.
Information we gather
- Schools purchasing a listing: whatever is entered in the posting form, namely the school, diocese or network name, a contact name and email address, and the position details (title, description, location, salary and application link). The position details are made public; the contact name and email stay private and never appear on the listing.
- Payments: Stripe operates our checkout. You type your card number into a form hosted by Stripe, and it never reaches SchoolHires; we only receive confirmation that payment went through along with the receipt information. How Stripe itself treats that data is covered in Stripe's privacy policy.
- Job seekers: we gather nothing from teachers and other candidates except the routine server data described below.SchoolHires does not offer candidate accounts or profiles. Apply links lead to the school's own application portal, so your resume, teaching certificate, references and responses are received by that school, not by us.
- Server data: as with most websites, our host records basic facts about each visit, such as IP address, browser type and the page requested, to keep SchoolHires secure and available.
- Support emails: we keep the emails you send us so we can answer them and look back at past correspondence.
What we use school and visitor information for
- Publishing and managing the school listings you have paid for.
- Writing to schools about their listings, such as sending receipts, expiry reminders, confirmation of changes and answers to support questions.
- Running, securing and developing SchoolHires.
- Meeting legal obligations, tax recordkeeping among them.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not hand it to other companies to market to you.
Cookies and analytics
Our job pages contain no advertising trackers whatsoever.
We may use analytics that respect privacy to see overall patterns like page view totals and which sites send visitors. We review those figures only in aggregate and never use them to build profiles of individual people.
The only cookies set are those the site needs to work, such as the ones Stripe uses during checkout.
Service providers
A small number of third parties help run SchoolHires: Stripe processes payments, and other vendors provide hosting and database services.
They are permitted to use the data only to provide those services to us.
Search engines such as Google Jobs may index live listings, but they see only the published position text, never a school's private contact details.
How long school listing and payment records are kept
Listing and payment records are retained for as long as we need them to operate the board and to satisfy legal and tax recordkeeping rules.
A listing that has expired and been removed from SchoolHires may still remain in our database.
You can ask us to delete your information whenever you wish, using the steps in the following section.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, the California Consumer Privacy Act, the EU/UK GDPR or comparable laws may entitle you to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to object to or limit some kinds of processing.
To make a request under these laws, email [email protected] .
After verifying that a request really comes from you, we answer within the deadline the applicable law sets.
Using any of these rights will not affect how we treat you.
Children
SchoolHires is built for private and charter schools as employers and for adults who work in schools or are preparing to.
It is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone below that age.
Policy updates and questions
If we revise this policy, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top and describe any significant change on this page.
