Privacy policy

Last updated: 17 October 2026

GetMeAJob is a job-search assistant used through Telegram, run as a small private pilot by one person in the UK. That person decides how your information is used (the "controller" under UK data protection law). You can reach them at a.c.otutu93@gmail.com.

What GetMeAJob stores

• Your Telegram ID, so the bot can recognise you.
• Your profile: the work history, education, skills and other facts you give it, your CV if you send one, and, if you want them on your CV, your name, email, phone number and town.
• Your job preferences: roles, places, how far you would travel, pay, and employers you have asked it to skip.
• Jobs and applications: jobs it has suggested, the ones you picked or turned down, the CVs and letters it wrote for you, and the applications you are tracking with their dates and notes.
• Email settings: if you turn on email, your address and which messages you want by email.
• If you connect Gmail: short notes about messages that concern your job applications (see below). Never your emails themselves.

Why, and on what basis

Everything above is used only to give you the service you asked for: finding jobs, writing your documents, tracking applications and reminding you. GetMeAJob relies on your consent, which it asks for before it stores anything, and which you can withdraw at any time with /privacy in the bot.

It never sells your information, never uses it for advertising, and never shares it with employers. It sends nothing to an employer for you.

Connecting Gmail (optional)

If you choose to connect your Gmail account, GetMeAJob asks Google for read-only access. It uses that access only to:

• look for messages about your job applications, such as replies from employers or job sites;
• note what they say about an application (for example, "interview invitation from Leeds Hospital, Tuesday 10am") so it can update your tracker and remind you.

It keeps only those short notes, linked to your applications. It does not store your emails, never reads or keeps messages unrelated to job applications beyond checking whether they are job-related, cannot send, change or delete anything in your mailbox, and never uses your mail to train AI models.

GetMeAJob's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

You can disconnect at any time in the bot, or from your Google Account under Security, then Third-party connections.

Who else handles your information

• Amazon Web Services (London, UK) hosts the database, backups and email sending.
• Anthropic, the AI company whose model GetMeAJob uses, receives the text needed for each task (for example your CV and a job advert, to write your cover letter). Anthropic does not use this to train its models.
• Telegram carries your messages with the bot.
• Google, only if you connect Gmail.
• Job sites (such as Reed, Adzuna, NHS Jobs, Jooble and Google's job listings) receive the job titles and places being searched for, never your name or contact details.

How long it is kept

Your information is kept while you use GetMeAJob. When you send /delete, it is removed from the live database straight away, and from backups within 35 days. Sent emails are removed from the email queue after 30 days.

Your rights

In the bot, /export sends you everything GetMeAJob holds about you, /delete removes it all, and /privacy lets you change your choices. You can also email a.c.otutu93@gmail.com to ask for a copy, a correction or deletion, or with any question. If you are unhappy with the answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the bot will tell you before the change applies.
