1.Who we are
Remote Smith is a job discovery platform and referral partner. We publish curated remote, hybrid, and on-site opportunities that are hired through third-party AI hiring platforms such as Mercor, Micro 1, and Turing.
This policy explains what information we handle when you use remotesmith.com. It does not cover the hiring platforms you are redirected to when you apply — each of those operates under its own privacy policy.
2.Information we collect automatically
You can browse every job listing on Remote Smith without giving us any personal information. We do not ask you to create an account to view roles.
When you visit the site, our hosting infrastructure processes standard technical information that every web server receives in order to deliver pages to you:
- Your IP address and approximate region, used to route and secure requests.
- Your browser type, device type, and operating system.
- The pages you request and the time of each request.
- Referring URLs, which tell us how visitors found the site.
3.Information you choose to give us
There is one place on this website where we ask for personal information, and it is entirely optional: the “Couldn't find the right job?” request form. You only reach it if you deliberately choose to tell us what you are looking for, and you can use the rest of the site without ever filling it in.
If you submit that form, we collect the details you enter, which may include:
- Your name and email address, which are required so we can identify and contact you.
- Your phone number, if you choose to provide it.
- The kind of role you want, your experience level, and your preferences for domain, work mode, location, and expected pay.
- Skills you list, and links you optionally share such as a resume location or LinkedIn profile.
- Any free-text notes you add, such as notice period or working-hour constraints.
4.How we use your request
Details from the request form are used for one purpose: to match your profile against roles we publish and to contact you when something relevant opens up. We ask for your explicit consent on the form before storing anything.
We do not add you to a marketing newsletter, we do not sell your details, and we do not pass your profile to employers or hiring platforms without telling you which role it concerns. You can ask us to delete your request at any time by emailing growth@remotesmith.com.
5.Information we do not collect
We want to be explicit about this, because job seekers are frequently asked for far more than is necessary. Even if you submit the request form, we never collect:
- Resume, CV, or portfolio files — we accept only a link you choose to share, hosted wherever you prefer.
- Government identifiers, tax numbers, or identity documents.
- Financial details, bank information, or payment credentials. We never charge candidates, so we have no reason to ask.
- Passwords or credentials for any hiring platform or third-party service.
6.Browser storage and cookies
We do not use advertising cookies and we do not run third-party tracking or analytics scripts on this website.
The site stores a small amount of data locally in your browser purely so it can function as expected. This data stays on your device, is never transmitted to us as personal information, and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings:
- A theme preference, so the site remembers whether you chose light or dark mode.
- An administrator session token, which is only ever created if you sign in to the restricted internal job console. Ordinary visitors never receive one.
7.Applying through third-party platforms
Every job listing on Remote Smith links out to an external application page operated by the hiring platform or employer. When you follow an apply link, you leave remotesmith.com and any information you provide from that point onward is collected by that third party, not by us.
We have no visibility into, and no control over, what those platforms collect, how long they retain it, or who they share it with. We strongly recommend reading the privacy policy of any platform before submitting your details.
8.How we use information
The limited technical information described above is used only to operate and improve the service. Specifically, we use it to deliver pages and job listings, to keep the site secure and protect it from abuse, to diagnose errors, and to understand in aggregate which listings and pages are useful so we can curate better roles.
We do not use your information to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell it.
9.How we share information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We share information only in narrow circumstances:
- With infrastructure providers who host the website and its API, strictly so the service can run.
- When we are legally required to do so, such as in response to a valid legal request.
- To investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents affecting the platform.
10.Data retention
If you submit a job request, we keep it only while it is useful for matching you to roles, and delete it sooner if you ask us to. A stale request is of no value to you or to us.
Server logs containing technical request information are kept only as long as needed for security and operational troubleshooting, then discarded.
11.Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. Since we hold very little information — nothing at all unless you submitted the request form — most requests are straightforward to resolve.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at growth@remotesmith.com and we will respond as promptly as we can. Note that requests concerning an application you submitted on a third-party hiring platform must be directed to that platform, as we do not hold that data.
12.Children's privacy
Remote Smith is intended for people seeking professional work and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
13.Security
We serve the site over encrypted connections and restrict access to our internal job console to authorised administrators. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so while we take reasonable measures to protect the service, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
14.Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the service evolves or as legal requirements change. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site. Continuing to use Remote Smith after an update means you accept the revised policy.
