Effective date: November 1, 2026
This policy explains what information USLocal ("we") collects, how we use it, who sees it, how long we keep it, and how you can manage your information.
1. Information we collect
| Information | When we collect it | What we use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Phone number or email | When you log in | Sending codes, logging in, sending alerts you sign up for |
| Your conversations with the AI | When you chat with the AI Job Matchmaker | Letting the AI understand your situation and write job posts or your job profile; translating for the other side |
| Job profile (experience, skills, whether you can be paid on the books, whether you need housing, etc.) | Organized by the AI during the chat | So next time it only asks what it hasn't asked, and to suggest better jobs |
| Job posts and contact person info | When an employer posts | Showing the job; contact info isn't public and is only used for Platform notices |
| Browser identifier (cookie) | When you visit | Keeping you logged in; linking one person's chats when not logged in |
| IP address and access logs | When you visit | Preventing abuse, rate limiting, troubleshooting |
| AI usage records | Each time the AI replies | Controlling costs and service statistics |
We do not ask about your age, sex, marital or family status, immigration status, nationality or religion. Please don't share your Social Security number, bank card number or ID numbers in the chat.
2. Who can see your information
- Other users: job posts are public, but employers' contact info is not. A job seeker's contact info and the AI's summary go to an employer only after the job seeker taps "Recommend me", and only to that one employer.
- Companies that provide services to us, only as needed to provide those services:
- AI provider (currently OpenAI): processes conversations to write replies, and translates job posts and conversations into other languages;
- Hosting and database provider (Hostinger): stores site data;
- Email and SMS providers: send codes and notifications.
- When the law requires it: we cooperate with lawful requests from law enforcement or courts.
We do not sell your personal information or use it for third-party advertising.
3. How long we keep it
- Account info: until you delete your account.
- AI conversations and job profiles: until you ask us to delete them or delete your account, so they can be reused next time and to help resolve disputes.
- Login codes: expire within 10 minutes and are then deleted.
- Access logs and rate-limit records: usually no more than 90 days.
4. Your rights
Email support@uslocal123.com to:
- see the information we keep about you;
- correct inaccurate information;
- delete your conversations or job profile, or delete your account;
- withdraw a recommendation you sent to an employer (we can't take back what the employer has already seen, but we will delete the records on the Platform).
We will respond within 30 days.
5. Security
We use HTTPS encryption. Login credentials are stored only in your browser and can't be read by page scripts, and the admin area is limited to administrators. If a security incident may affect your data, we will notify you as required by New York law.
6. Minors
The Platform is for users 16 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
7. Policy updates
Updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date; major changes will be announced on the site. This policy is available in Chinese, English, Spanish and other languages; if the versions differ, the Chinese version controls.
