Privacy Policy

Predictable Source LLC dba Jobstream ("Predictable Source," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when Employers and Creators use Jobstream, our platform that distributes job postings through Creator channels.

We do not collect or control applicant personal information. Applicants apply directly with Employers, and Employers are solely responsible for the handling of that data. Predictable Source only records attribution metadata (clicks and valid application counts) for the purposes of billing Employers and paying Creators. To the extent we incidentally process any applicant personal information, we do so solely as a service provider on the Employer’s behalf and do not use it for our own purposes.

By using Jobstream, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services.

This Privacy Policy is governed by U.S. federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware.

Jobstream serves three core user groups — Brands, Employers, and Creators — each of whom interacts with our platform differently.

• Brands use Jobstream to promote opportunities, products, or affiliated programs to relevant audiences through our creator network.
• Employers use Jobstream to distribute job postings and attract qualified candidates through creator-led channels.
• Creators (influencers, community leaders, newsletter publishers, and similar partners) use Jobstream to discover jobs relevant to their audiences and share Joblinks in exchange for performance-based revenue.

Each group's relationship with Jobstream involves different types of data and responsibilities:

• Employers and Brands control their applicant and campaign data.
• Creators manage their own content and payment information.
• Predictable Source (Jobstream) acts as a facilitator — we handle attribution, analytics, and payments, but do not collect or store applicant personal data.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information across all three user types, with transparency and care for privacy at every step.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information, including personal information, in various ways when you use our Sites, and Services and when Clients leverage the Platform on their respective websites. As used in this Policy, "personal information" means any information which, either alone or in combination with other information, can reasonably identify you as an individual, such as your name, mailing address, and email address. As used in this Privacy Policy, "personal information" does not include:

• Information that is lawfully made available from federal, state or local government records.
• Deidentified or aggregated information.
• Information excluded from the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA").

a. Sensitive Personal Information: Creator Information

We may collect limited sensitive personal information for specific purposes collected from Creators for payment processing and tax compliance only. We do not collect or infer: racial/ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health information, sexual orientation, citizenship status, genetic data, or biometric identifiers, except that, where you provide it for identity verification, fraud prevention, or platform security, we may collect government-issued identification and related verification data (which may reveal information such as date of birth or nationality); we use such information solely for verification, fraud-prevention, security, and compliance purposes.

• Name, email address, and login credentials.
• Payout details and tax documentation (e.g., W-9, TIN).
• Revenue share activity and payout history.
• Platform activity (Joblinks shared, clicks generated, attribution records).
• Identity-verification and screening data — where required for vetting, fraud prevention, or platform security: government-issued identification, proof of address, proof of account ownership, and the results of identity, social-media, or background screening conducted by us or our third-party screening providers.
• Mobile phone number — where you provide it, used for account, verification, payout, and (with your consent) program and marketing text messages, as described in the “How We Share Information” and SMS sections below.

Under California law, you have the right to limit our use of sensitive personal information to purposes necessary to provide our Services. To exercise this right, contact help@getjobstream.com.

b. Employer Information

• Name, email address, company information.
• Job postings submitted to Jobstream.
• Billing, invoicing, and payment details.
• Account preferences and communications.

c. Technical & Tracking Data

• Device identifiers, IP addresses, and browser type.
• Cookies, pixels, and attribution technologies used to track link activity and validate applications.

d. Communications

• Emails, messages, or other communications with us.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Provide, operate, maintain, and improve Jobstream.
• Attribute valid applications and calculate Creator revenue share.
• Process Employer billing and Creator payouts.
• Authenticate accounts and secure the platform.
• Respond to support requests and communications.
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud or misuse.
• Verify identity and conduct vetting, screening, and fraud prevention, including through third-party verification and screening providers.
• Send account, verification, payout, and other transactional text messages, and — with your consent — program updates and marketing text messages.
• Comply with legal, accounting, and tax obligations.
• Enforce our Acceptable Use Policy and investigate misuse of Jobstream.
• Provide AI-powered features and recommendations (see Section 3).

3. Our Approach to Artificial Intelligence

At Predictable Source, we use AI to automate routine tasks so we can focus on meaningful human connections between Creators, Employers, and candidates.

How We Use AI

We use AI and machine learning to:

• Provide personalized recommendations for content, products, and matches
• Detect fraud and suspicious activity
• Optimize campaign performance and provide insights
• Route customer support inquiries efficiently

Our Commitment

• Transparency: We're clear about when we use AI. If we add new AI features, we'll update this policy and notify you.
• Human oversight: Significant decisions affecting your account, earnings, or access involve human review. We don't make solely automated decisions that legally or significantly affect you without human involvement.
• Your control: You can opt out of AI-driven features like personalized recommendations through your account settings or by contacting us at help@getJobstream.com.
• Fairness: We design our AI systems to be fair and regularly test them to address potential bias.

Questions about our AI use? Contact us at help@getjobstream.com.

4. Applicant Data

Predictable Source does not knowingly collect or control applicant personal information.

• Applications are submitted by user or job applicant directly to Employers career application domain.
• Employers are solely responsible for applicant privacy and compliance with employment laws.
• Predictable Source records attribution metadata (e.g., that a valid application occurred via a Joblink), which does not contain applicant personal data.

5. How We Share Information

We implement rigorous vendor selection and oversight processes to ensure all our service providers meet our security and privacy standards, and also acceptable use policies that align with global standards. See "Trust, Safety, and Security" for more.

We do not sell personal information for monetary value; however, certain cookie-based analytics and advertising activity may qualify as “sharing” under state privacy law, which you can opt out of as described in the California and State Privacy Law Disclosures above. We may share information as follows:

• With Creators: To provide attribution and payout information related to their own activity.
• With Employers: To provide billing, usage, and account information.
• With Service Providers: Including Stripe for payment processing, hosting, analytics, and fraud prevention; Tremendous for Creator and referral payouts; our hosting and database providers; identity-verification, social-media-screening, and fraud-prevention providers; and our SMS/text-messaging provider. Our SMS provider uses phone numbers only to deliver messages on our behalf and is prohibited from using them for any other purpose.
• For Legal Compliance: To comply with laws, regulations, or legal processes.
• Business Transfers: If Predictable Source merges, sells assets, or is acquired, account information may be transferred.
• Confidentiality Obligations: Any third parties receiving personal or business information from Predictable Source are required to maintain its confidentiality and use it only as authorized.
• With Third-Party Affiliates: Please contact us at help@getjobstream.com and we will send you a current list.
• Communications & Marketing: We ensure that email opt-out is enabled. SMS/push notification management is an expected channel of communication, whose settings are managed on your personal device and with your permission prompted by opt-ins.
• SMS / Text Messaging. If you provide your mobile phone number and opt in, you consent to receive recurring text (SMS/MMS) messages from us and our service providers at that number, which may be sent using automated technology. These may include transactional messages (account, verification, onboarding, and payout notifications) and, where you have consented, program updates, new opportunities, and marketing messages. Consent to marketing texts is not a condition of using the Services. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, or reply HELP for help; opting out of marketing texts may not stop transactional messages needed to operate your account. We do not sell your phone number, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. Standard text-messaging terms are described further in our Terms of Service.

International Data Compliance:

Geographic Scope: Jobstream currently operates in the United States and does not actively target or serve users in the European Union, United Kingdom, or European Economic Area. Our Services are governed by U.S. federal law and Delaware state law. If we expand operations internationally, we will update this Privacy Policy to include applicable international data protection provisions and notify affected users.

Notice For International Users: If you access Jobstream from outside the United States, please be aware that:

• Your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States
• U.S. privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction
• By using our Services, you consent to this transfer and processing

For questions about international data handling, contact help@getjobstream.com.

6. Your Rights

The rights below apply to our account holders — Creators and Employers. Job applicants should direct requests about applicant data to the Employer they applied to, which controls that data. Jobstream must provide candidates with simple and accessible ways to exercise their rights over their data. This includes the ability to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of their information. Clear procedures must be in place to handle requests quickly and consistently across systems.

• Right to Access: Candidates can request a copy of their data.
• Right to Rectification: Inaccurate data must be corrected promptly.
• Right to Deletion: Data must be deleted upon verified request, except where we are required or permitted to retain it for legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, security, dispute-resolution, or compliance purposes, or to preserve your acceptance of our Terms and consent records (see “Data Retention”).
• Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: Systems must allow granular opt-out controls.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent (for example, marketing texts or optional features), you may withdraw it at any time.
• Authorized Agents and Verification: You may use an authorized agent to submit a request; we may need to verify your identity (and your agent’s authority) before acting on a request.
• Requests for opt-out or deletion must be processed within 30 days.
• Candidates should be informed about these rights in every privacy notice and marketing communication.
• You will be informed about these rights in every privacy notice. To exercise any right, contact us at help@getJobstream.com.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:

• Attribute applications and track Joblink activity.
• Measure performance and detect fraud.
• Support platform functionality and improve user experience.

Types of Cookies:

• Essential Cookies – Required for core functions like login, security, and transactions.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies – Monitor performance and usage trends.
• Attribution & Tracking Cookies – Track Joblink clicks and valid applications for revenue share.
• Functional Cookies – Store preferences (e.g., login sessions).

Third-Party Cookies:

• Stripe (for payments and fraud prevention).
• Analytics providers.
• Security providers.

We do not allow third parties to use cookies for unrelated advertising.

Controls:

• You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but doing so may affect functionality and attribution.
• At this time, we do not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals; however, we do honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, as described in Section 1.
• Where required by law, you may opt out of non-essential cookies.

8. Data Retention

We retain Creator and Employer information as long as necessary to:

• Maintain accounts and provide Services.
• Comply with legal, tax, and accounting requirements (typically seven years for financial records).
• Resolve disputes and enforce agreements.

When no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize information. At any time, you may contact our team to request the use of your data, or to cancel and delete your account and data from our platform. We will take action within 30 days of contact, subject to the legal-retention exceptions described below.

Even after you request deletion or close your account, we may retain certain records — including your acceptance of our Terms and this Privacy Policy, consent and opt-in records (such as SMS consent), attribution and payout history, and information needed for legal, tax, fraud-prevention, security, dispute-resolution, and compliance purposes — for as long as reasonably necessary or as required by law. Deactivating or suspending an account does not require us to delete these retained records; we may instead retain the account in an inactive state.

9. Trust, Safety, and Security

In a world of increasing fraud, protecting our platform and community is our top priority.

Our Approach

• Rigorous vendor selection: We carefully vet all service providers with security assessments, contractual protections, and regular audits.
• Enterprise oversight: As part of Hire Innovations, we benefit from independent security audits, compliance monitoring, and coordinated incident response.
• Fraud prevention: We are always improving how we use automated fraud detection, employ human review for flagged activities, and continuously monitor for suspicious behavior.

Report Concerns

• Security issues: help@getjobstream.com
• Fraud or abuse: help@getjobstream.com
• Privacy concerns: help@getjobstream.com

We investigate all reports promptly and may share information with social or messaging platforms, law enforcement, and other authorities to investigate fraud, harassment, threats, or security incidents and to protect the safety of our team, creators, employers, applicants, and the public.

For more about our security practices, contact help@getjobstream.com.

10. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information, including encryption, access restrictions, and monitoring. And we are committed to optimizing these protocols, and aiming to improve processes always.

While we employ industry-standard security measures and maintain rigorous safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, no system or method of transmission over the Internet is entirely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

We monitor for unauthorized access and account compromise and may suspend access, reset credentials, or take other protective measures to investigate or contain a suspected security incident. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and agree to notify us promptly at help@getjobstream.com of any suspected unauthorized access to or compromise of your account.

In the event of a confirmed security breach that compromises personal information, we will notify affected individuals and any applicable regulators without undue delay and in accordance with applicable law, including reasonably available details regarding the nature, scope, and potential impact of the incident and the corrective measures undertaken or planned.

11. Children's Privacy

The Services are intended only for individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age, and by using Jobstream™ you represent that you are 18 or older.

We do not knowingly collect information from children. If such data is discovered, we will delete it.

We do not intentionally gather personal information from visitors who are under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, you are not permitted to submit any personal information to us. If we learn that a child under 13 submits personal information to Predictable Source, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible.

If you believe that we might have any personal information from a child under 13, please contact us at help@getjobstream.com.

12. Our Commitment to Impact
