What data we collect
We collect only what is necessary, including:
Name and contact details
CVs, applications, and career history
Company information
Website usage data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited
Information you submit through forms or email
We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
How we use your data
We use your data to:
Deliver and improve our services
Match candidates with opportunities
Communicate updates, roles, and programmes
Manage applications and community access
Analyse website usage
Meet legal obligations
We process data only where we have a lawful basis, including consent, contract, or legitimate interest.
Data storage
Your data is stored securely using appropriate technical and organisational measures.
We retain data only for as long as necessary or legally required.
Sharing your data
We may share data with:
Employers or partners relevant to applications
Service providers who support our operations
Authorities where required by law
Advertising platforms, such as Google, LinkedIn and Meta, to measure the performance of our adverts and decide who sees them (see Advertising and measurement)
We never sell your personal data.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to make the website work, to understand how it is used (for example with Google Analytics, Mixpanel and Microsoft Clarity), and to measure and target our advertising (for example with Google Ads, the Meta pixel and the LinkedIn Insight Tag). This includes remarketing: showing our adverts on other websites and apps to people who have visited our website, using audiences built from Google Ads and Google Analytics data. We also set a first-party cookie that remembers how you first found us, such as the advert or link you clicked, so we can see which marketing works.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
Advertising and measurement
When you sign up, book a call or work with us, we may share limited information with advertising platforms such as Google, LinkedIn and Meta so we can measure which of our adverts are working. This is your email address in hashed (one-way encrypted) form, and may include your name, company, the time of the action, and a click ID if you arrived from one of our adverts. The platform uses this to match the action to its users and give us aggregate results. We do not sell this data or use it to build profiles.
We may also share your email address and phone number, in hashed form, with advertising platforms such as Google, Meta and LinkedIn to decide who sees our adverts. For example, we use this to stop showing adverts meant for employers to people who are already on Jumpstart as candidates. The platforms use this only to match you to an account; they don’t receive the data in readable form.
Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in measuring our marketing and showing our adverts to the right people. You can object at any time by emailing hello@jumpstart-uk.com, and you can manage ad settings in your Google, LinkedIn or Meta account.
Google explains how it uses information from websites that use its services in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can turn off personalised Google adverts in My Ad Center, and stop Google Analytics collecting your visits with Google's opt-out browser add-on.
LinkedIn analytics integration
We operate an internal analytics tool that shows Jumpstart team members how their own LinkedIn posts are performing. This section applies only to Jumpstart employees and contractors who choose to connect their LinkedIn account. No one is included without completing LinkedIn’s authorisation process themselves.
With that authorisation, we access aggregate performance figures for that person’s own posts:
– Impressions
– Reactions
– Comments
– Reshares
– Members reached
We do not access post content, private messages, connections, profile information beyond a chosen display name, or any details about the people who view or engage with a post.
We use this data to:
– Display an internal leaderboard visible to the Jumpstart team
– Help colleagues understand how their content is performing over time
Data from this integration is not used for advertising, candidate sourcing, or profiling, and we do not sell or share it with third parties.
LinkedIn authorisation tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM with a dedicated encryption key, held in a network-restricted database accessible only to the application. Aggregate figures are stored so that trends can be shown over time.
Anyone connected can disconnect at any time from within the tool. Disconnecting permanently deletes their authorisation tokens, their stored figures, and their record. Authorisation can also be withdrawn directly in LinkedIn’s own settings.
Our legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in understanding the performance of our own marketing content, together with the consent each person gives through LinkedIn’s authorisation process.
This integration uses the LinkedIn API. Jumpstart is not affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a trademark of LinkedIn Corporation.
Your rights
You have the right to:
Access your data
Correct inaccurate data
Request deletion
Restrict or object to processing
Withdraw consent
Request data portability
You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
