Introduction
Smart Earning Guide (smartearningguide.online) and SEG Jobs (segjobs.in) are two websites operated by the same publisher, referred to here as "we", "our" or "us". This Privacy Policy applies to both websites. By using either one, you agree to this policy.
Information We Collect
You can browse and search both websites freely — no account or registration is required, and we never ask for personal information to use the service. We may collect the following types of information:
- Anonymous usage data — pages visited, search queries, time spent on pages
- Device information — browser type, operating system, screen size
- Log data — IP address, referring pages, date and time of visits
- Contact form data — name, email, subject and message, if you contact us voluntarily
- Email address — only if you voluntarily sign up for job alerts
We do not sell, trade or share your personal information with third parties except as described in this policy.
Job Alert Emails
If you sign up for job alerts, we store your email address for the sole purpose of sending you a daily summary of new job listings. We do not sell or share it with anyone, and we do not use it for any other purpose.
Every job alert email includes a one-click unsubscribe link. You can also email us at contact@smartearningguide.online to be removed. Once you unsubscribe, we stop sending emails immediately and remove your address from the active mailing list.
Job Listing Data
Job listings shown on SEG Jobs are aggregated from third-party job data providers and public job portals, including Adzuna, JSearch, and India's National Career Service (NCS). We display this information; we do not create it and we are not the employer.
When you click an "Apply" button, you leave our website and are taken to the employer's own site or the job provider's site. Anything you enter there — your CV, personal details, or application — is handled by that website under their privacy policy, not ours. We have no access to and no control over what they collect.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience on our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.
Types of cookies we use:
- Essential cookies — required for the website to function properly (e.g. remembering your cookie consent preference)
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g. which pages are most popular)
- Advertising cookies — used by Google AdSense to serve relevant advertisements based on your interests and browsing history
- Third-party cookies — set by external services like Google Analytics and Google AdSense
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing cookies. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of our website.
We display a cookie consent banner when you first visit our website. By clicking "Accept", you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

Third Party Links
Our websites link out to employer career pages, third-party job providers, and other external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit before providing personal information.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information on our website from unauthorised access, loss or misuse. However, no method of data transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information you transmit to us.
How Long We Keep Data

- Job alert emails — kept until you unsubscribe, then removed from the active mailing list
- Contact form messages — kept only as long as needed to answer you
- Analytics data — retained by Google Analytics under Google's own retention settings; it is aggregated and does not identify you personally

Children's Privacy
Our websites are not directed at children. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, a child is anyone under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it.
