Privacy Policy

• You can search and read every job listing on this website without an account and without giving us any personal information.
• If you choose to register, we collect only your first name, last name and email address, plus a securely hashed password.
• We use cookies that are necessary to keep you signed in. We do not set advertising cookies and we do not run third-party analytics or ad trackers.
• We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data, and we do not send it to recruiters or government departments.
• You can ask us to delete your account and data at any time by emailing hello@pakistangovernmentjobs.com.

The sections below give the detail. This policy applies to https://www.pakistangovernmentjobs.com and covers this website only - not the official government websites we link to, which have their own policies.

Pakistan Government Jobs is an independent, privately operated website. It is not a government body - see our disclaimer. The operators of this website are the data controller for the personal data described here, and can be reached at hello@pakistangovernmentjobs.com.

Nothing, if you only browse. Searching, filtering and reading listings needs no account and no personal details.

Account information, if you register. When you create an account we collect your first name, last name and email address, and we store your password only as a cryptographic hash - we cannot read it and neither can anyone who obtains our database. We record whether your email address has been verified, and the dates your account was created and last updated.

Things you save while signed in. Jobs you bookmark, searches or filters you choose to save, and any notification preferences you set. These exist so the feature works when you come back.

Messages you send us. If you email us a correction, question or complaint, we keep the message and your email address so we can reply and track the issue.

Technical information created automatically. Like effectively every website, our servers and hosting provider record standard request logs: IP address, date and time, the page requested, browser and operating system type, and referring page. We use these for security, abuse prevention and diagnosing faults.

We do not ask for or want your CNIC number, date of birth, bank details, salary history, scanned documents, or any government-issued identifier. Never send those to us - no genuine recruitment process requires them to be sent to a third-party website.

• To provide your account - creating and authenticating it, keeping you signed in, and storing your saved jobs and preferences. Basis: performance of our agreement with you.
• To verify your email address- so account recovery works and so accounts cannot be created with other people's addresses. Basis: performance of our agreement, and our legitimate interest in account security.
• To send service messages - verification, password reset, and important changes to the service. Basis: performance of our agreement.
• To send job alerts, if and when you enable them. Basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
• To keep the website secure and working - detecting abuse, blocking attacks, fixing errors, and understanding aggregate traffic patterns. Basis: our legitimate interest in a safe, working service.
• To answer your messages and act on corrections and removal requests. Basis: our legitimate interest in responding to you.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not use it to build an advertising profile of you.

We use strictly necessary cookies only. When you sign in, we set secure, HTTP-only session and refresh cookies so that you stay signed in as you move between pages and so your session can be renewed without asking you to log in repeatedly. These cookies cannot be read by JavaScript in your browser and are not used to track you across other websites.

Your browser may also store small amounts of data locally to remember interface preferences. That data stays on your device.

We do not currently use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party analytics or social media trackers. The web fonts this site uses are served from our own domain rather than fetched from a third party, so loading a page does not disclose your visit to a font provider. If we ever introduce analytics or advertising, we will update this page and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent first.

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the essential cookies above will prevent you from signing in, but searching and reading jobs will still work.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data, and we never share it with recruiters, agents or government departments. Applying for a job happens on the official department's own website, not here, so we have nothing to pass on.

We share data only with:

• Service providers who run our infrastructure - hosting, database, and email delivery for verification and password reset messages. They process data on our instructions only and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
• Legal authorities, where we are required by applicable law, a valid court order, or lawful request to disclose information, or where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or someone's safety.

Some of these providers may process data on servers outside Pakistan. Where that happens we take reasonable steps to ensure the data continues to be protected to the standard described in this policy.

• Account data - for as long as your account exists. Delete your account and we remove or irreversibly anonymise it, other than anything we must keep for legal or security reasons.
• Saved jobs and preferences - until you remove them or delete your account.
• Correspondence - normally up to 24 months, so we can keep track of corrections and repeated issues.
• Server and security logs - normally a short rolling window, kept only as long as needed for security and diagnostics.

The website is served over encrypted HTTPS connections. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes. Session cookies are marked secure and HTTP-only. Access to our systems is limited to the people who need it to operate the service.

No website can promise perfect security, so please help: use a unique password here, do not reuse a password from your email or bank, and tell us at hello@pakistangovernmentjobs.com if you suspect your account has been accessed by someone else. We will notify affected users and, where required, the relevant authority if a breach puts personal data at risk.

You can ask us at any time to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you, and receive a copy of it.
• Correct anything inaccurate or incomplete - you can also edit your name and email in your account.
• Delete your account and associated personal data.
• Withdraw consent to job alerts or other optional messages, and unsubscribe from them.
• Object to or restrict processing we carry out on the basis of legitimate interests.

Email hello@pakistangovernmentjobs.com from the address registered to your account, or use the contact page. We aim to respond within 30 days. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request, to make sure we are not disclosing your data to someone else.

This website is intended for adults seeking employment. Accounts are not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has registered, tell us and we will delete the account.

We update this policy when the website or the law changes. The date at the top of this page shows the current version. Where a change materially affects your rights, we will give notice on the website or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the website after a change takes effect means you accept the updated policy.

Read this alongside our Terms of Service and Disclaimer.
