Privacy Policy

Plain English — what we collect, why, and how you stay in control. Built by a working captain, on the mariner’s side.

Effective July 1, 2026. CrewChange Jobs is operated by JackStaff Digital (Florida, USA).

What we collect

When you start a profile, we collect what you choose to give us:

• Contact: name, email, and (optionally) phone and general area / ZIP.
• Career details: the job you’re after, experience, credentials (TWIC, MMC, medical, endorsements), typical vessel, waterways, work history, and references — whatever you fill in.
• Your message: anything you write in the optional “what you want employers to know” box.
• Basic site data: an anonymous visit counter. We don’t run advertising trackers.

What we DON’T collect

• No Social Security number. Ever. That only goes straight to an employer if you get hired.
• No uploaded documents on this site. If an employer moves forward, you send those directly to them.

Why we use it

One reason: to help good companies find you and reach out. Your profile is what a hiring employer sees to decide you’re a fit and to contact you. That’s the whole job — connect hard workers with employers who are actually hiring.

Who we share it with

• Employers we verify. Your profile is shown to real inland/towboat companies. Your direct contact info is revealed to an employer when they unlock it (or when you get hired). You can hide your profile at any time.
• We do not sell your personal information to data brokers or advertisers.
• Service providers that run the site (e.g. Cloudflare for hosting/security) process data only to operate the service. Our own server stores your profile.
• Legal: we may disclose information if required by law.

How it’s stored

Your profile is stored on our own server, reachable only through a secure, outbound tunnel — not on an open public port. Access to the admin view is protected by a private key.

Your choices & rights

• Edit or update your profile anytime (we can send you a secure, passwordless link — no account to remember).
• Hide your profile from employers, or delete it entirely.
• Ask us anything about your data, or request a copy or deletion, by emailing us below.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (for example, Florida’s data-protection and breach-notification rules, or GDPR/UK-GDPR if you’re in Europe). We honor deletion and access requests regardless.

Data retention

We keep your profile while it’s useful to you and to employers. If you ask us to delete it, or it’s clearly inactive, we remove it.

Children

This is a job site for working adults. It’s not intended for anyone under 18, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If we update this policy, we’ll change the date at the top. Material changes will be made clear on the site.
