TeenHire is built for young people, so we take privacy seriously. This page explains in plain language what information we collect, why we collect it, and what control you have over it.
Who we are
TeenHire LLC is a company registered in Washington State, United States. We operate the TeenHire website at teenhire.app and the TeenHire mobile application. If you have any question about this policy, email us at teenhireapp@gmail.com.
Information we collect
We only collect what the service actually needs to work.
If you are a teen:
- Your name and email address, provided when you sign in
- Your age, city and state, so we can show you jobs you are legally allowed to work
- Your profile photo, if you choose to upload one
- Resume information you enter yourself, such as skills and past experience
- Job applications you submit and messages you send to employers
- Work hours and earnings you choose to log, including savings goals
If you are a business:
- Company name, industry, contact email, phone number and address
- Job listings you publish and messages you send to applicants
Automatically: basic technical information such as browser type and general device information, used only to keep the service running and secure.
What we do not collect
- We do not collect payment card details. Payments are processed by Stripe, and card data never reaches our servers.
- We do not track your precise GPS location. City and state come from what you type in your profile.
- We do not sell your personal information to anyone, ever.
- We do not use your data to train advertising profiles or show third-party ads.
How we use your information
- To show you job listings that match your age and location, and that comply with labor law
- To let you apply to jobs and communicate with employers
- To let employers review applications they receive
- To keep your account secure and respond to support requests
- To investigate reports of misuse or unsafe behavior on the platform
Who can see your information
Your profile and resume are private by default. An employer can see them only after you apply to their job listing, or if you reply to a message they send you. Other teens cannot see your profile, your applications, your earnings or your savings goals.
We share limited data with service providers that help us operate: Base44 (application hosting and database), Cloudflare (website hosting and security), and Stripe (payment processing for businesses). These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
We may disclose information if required by law, or if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to protect the safety of a young person using our platform.
Teens under 18
TeenHire is designed for people aged 14 to 21. It is not intended for children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 14.
If you are under 18, we encourage you to review this policy with a parent or guardian. If a parent or guardian believes their child under 14 has created an account, email us at teenhireapp@gmail.com and we will delete the account and its data promptly.
We apply extra restrictions for younger users: job listings are filtered so minors only see roles that are legal for their age under Washington State labor law, including limits on daily and weekly hours during school and non-school weeks.
How long we keep your data
We keep your information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your profile, resume, applications, work hours and savings data from our systems. Some records may remain in encrypted backups for a short period before being overwritten.
Your rights and choices
- Delete your account. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time, directly in the app under your profile page. No email request is needed.
- Access and correction. You can view and edit your profile information at any time in the app.
- Ask us anything. Email teenhireapp@gmail.com with any request about your data and we will respond.
If you are a resident of Washington State or another jurisdiction with specific privacy rights, those rights apply to you and we will honor them.
Security
All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and stored on secured infrastructure. Access to user data is limited to the people who operate TeenHire. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information and will notify affected users if a breach occurs.
Changes to this policy
If we make meaningful changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where the change is significant, notify you in the app. Continuing to use TeenHire after a change means you accept the updated policy.
