Privacy Policy

When you sign up via Google or Microsoft, we verify that your address belongs to a real account, then delete it. It is never kept in plain text, nor as a hash.

We only keep:

• The provider's opaque identifier (providerId + accountId) to sign you back in
• Your anonymous handle and your karma

We never store in our database:

• Your real name (never kept)
• Your email address in plain text
• Your profile picture
• Your Google/Microsoft access codes
• Your IP address

To limit authentication abuse, a temporary key derived from the IP address and a counter are kept in memory for up to 60 seconds after the last request. Our network and hosting providers also process IP addresses to deliver and secure requests, under their own retention policies.

Your data is used exclusively to:

• Remember whether your account uses a personal or work address
• Generate your unique anonymous handle
• Calculate your reputation score (karma)
• Produce aggregated, generalized salary statistics

Anonymity is at the core of sckoob. Your real identity is not visible to any other user.

• Nobody can tell who posted what — not other users, and not by cross-checking the figures. Our moderators see content and handles, never your real identity
• No email, hash or domain is stored: there is nothing to cross-check back to your identity
• Administrators see your handle, karma and content for moderation — never your email, name or picture

Data is stored in a secure PostgreSQL database. All communications are encrypted via HTTPS. Your login sessions are protected and expire automatically.

Uploaded images (logos, channel covers) are stored on a secure cloud storage service (Cloudflare R2). Only channel creators and administrators can modify these images. Inappropriate images may lead to account suspension or deletion.

Deletion happens in two stages. When you delete content it is hidden immediately and becomes invisible to other users, while remaining restorable from your trash for 30 days. After that window it is permanently erased from our databases by an automated job.

Deleting your account disables access immediately, then deletes your sessions, your provider identifier, your private messages and your notifications. Your masked address and handle are anonymized after 30 days. Your public posts and comments are kept but with no link to your identity.

Erased data may persist temporarily in our encrypted backups until they rotate.

The content of your private messages is encrypted before being stored (AES-256-GCM). Anyone obtaining a copy of our database, a backup or a replica would read nothing but unintelligible data.

To be clear about what this does not cover: this is not end-to-end encryption. The keys are held by our servers, which can therefore technically decrypt messages. That is what allows us to act on a harassment report and to respond to a valid legal request. Do not share through private messages what you would not entrust to the platform.

Our encryption keys may be rotated: existing messages are then progressively re-encrypted with the new key. Our realtime service never carries message content, only a signal that a message has arrived.

We only use session cookies necessary for authentication. No tracking or advertising cookies are used.

sckoob does not share, sell, or rent any personal data to third parties. Aggregated salary data is publicly visible and generalized (experience bands, bucketed amounts): a narrow segment can describe a single person, so do not publish anything that would identify you.

sckoob may disclose information in response to a valid legal request (court order, subpoena). In such cases, only the strictly necessary data is transmitted. Since your email address is not stored in plain text, it cannot be provided by sckoob under any circumstances.

In accordance with regulations, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Rectify your data
• Delete your account and associated data
• Data portability

To exercise these rights, contact us at rtafitamario@gmail.com.

sckoob automatically collects job listings from public third-party sites, through their public pages and interfaces (including the ones powering their own websites). This collection is done responsibly: we check and respect each site's robots.txt directives, only explicitly authorized sites are accessed, we honor each site's requested crawl delays, and we remain reachable (rtafitamario@gmail.com) for any removal request.

Collected listings come exclusively from public sources. We collect no personal data (emails, phone numbers) appearing on those sites.
