Work in Belize

Who operates the service

Horace Grant, operator of Work in Belize, provides this service in Belize. For privacy requests, complaints or questions, email support@workinbelize.com. This notice is version 2026-09-29. Work in Belize is a service name, not a representation that the service is an incorporated company.

Our role and the employer’s role

We decide how to process information for site accounts, security, support, listings and optional usage reporting. Employers decide how to use candidate information for their recruitment. We also host and process recruitment records on their instructions. The employer remains responsible for its recruitment decisions, notices, downloads and use of your information outside this service.

Information we collect

Account details include your name, email, sign-in identifiers, account role and versioned terms acceptance. Profiles may include contact details, location, education, work interests, skills and experience. Applications may contain CVs, supporting documents, screening answers and messages. Employers may add candidates manually or forward applications by email. Hiring records can include comments, notes, ratings, reference-check status, follow-ups, interview availability, messages and recruitment outcomes. We also handle company-claim evidence, support messages, listing reports and technical security records.

Why we use information

We use information to operate accounts, publish vacancies, deliver applications, support employer recruitment, schedule interviews, send requested or employer-directed communications, respond to requests, prevent abuse and maintain the service. Depending on the activity and applicable law, processing is based on providing a requested service or contract, legitimate interests in operating a secure recruitment service, a legal obligation, or a specific optional choice. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the effect on individuals. Optional job alerts have separate subscription controls. Browser analytics respect browser privacy signals. Acknowledging this notice is not blanket consent to unrelated uses.

Who receives information

Published jobs and company profiles are public and can be indexed by search engines and shared on social channels. Candidate profiles and files are not public directories. The employer’s authorized team can access applications according to its assigned roles. Authorized Work in Belize staff can access records for support, security, moderation and administration. Google/Firebase and Google Cloud provide authentication, databases, file storage and backend infrastructure; Vercel hosts the website; Brevo sends application and service email and receives emailed applications; ImprovMX routes application emails; Google Analytics processes optional usage reporting. These providers process the information needed for their services. We may disclose information when lawfully required, to protect rights or safety, or to investigate misuse. We do not sell candidate records or permit employers to use them for unrelated marketing.

Overseas processing and provider copies

Service providers may process information outside Belize, including in the United States. We use provider contractual and security safeguards appropriate to the service. Email forwarding and delivery can leave copies in provider systems and recipient inboxes. Platform deletion cannot recall delivered email or employer downloads; those copies remain subject to the recipient’s responsibilities. Cloud storage and other processing may have different legal requirements, which we assess separately.

How long we keep information

Employers choose a candidate-record retention period of 6, 12 or 24 months, measured from the application date. Six months applies automatically unless the employer chooses 12 or 24 months. Contact us if you need information removed sooner. After expiry, scheduled processing removes identifying application fields, files, notes, comments, screening answers, interview records and related hiring details. Limited withdrawn records remain for reporting under new identifiers. CVs kept separately in your own account remain until you remove them or delete that account. Account records are kept while the account is active; public listings and company information may remain after account deletion. Minimal security and legal records may be retained when justified.

Other retention and deletion limits

Browser-session counting records expire after 32 days. Queued email records have a 30-day expiry, and message payloads are removed after successful delivery or cancellation. Infrastructure logs, provider records and backups follow their configured lifecycles and may not disappear immediately. We do not promise immediate erasure from every backup or recipient system. If a preservation obligation prevents deletion, we explain the applicable limitation where permitted and restrict further use. Support can confirm the relevant retention arrangements for a request.

Your privacy requests

You can edit your profile, withdraw applications and request account deletion through account settings. You can also email support@workinbelize.com to request access, correction, a copy, deletion, restriction, an objection to processing, or withdrawal of an optional choice, as applicable. You do not need an account. Include the email used to apply, the employer and vacancy, and what you need; do not send identity documents unless we explain why a proportionate verification step is necessary. We verify identity, coordinate with the employer where appropriate and aim to respond within one month. We will explain any delay or lawful limitation. Tell us if you believe your request was handled incorrectly; you may also pursue any complaint or remedy available under applicable law.

Applications added by an employer

If an employer uploads or forwards your information, it must have a lawful basis and provide the necessary notice, including that it uses Work in Belize. Such an upload is not proof that you personally accepted our terms or opted into alerts. You may contact us or the employer about the record. Ask the employer before supplying sensitive information about yourself or references.

Optional analytics and cookies

Optional browser usage reporting is enabled by default. We use this reporting to understand and improve the service, relying on our legitimate interests where applicable law permits, rather than treating your visit as consent. It measures page views, searches and application clicks. Our own reporting uses a random session identifier and aggregated categories; filtered search phrases may appear in our internal aggregate reporting and Google Analytics. Our search-event filter excludes apparent email addresses and phone numbers. Google Analytics receives page addresses with campaign tags, referral information and usage events, and uses first-party cookies. Other page-address query parameters are omitted from our page-view events. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled in our integration. Account-action pages and administrator sessions are excluded; other signed-in pages may be measured. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control disable browser analytics. Essential sign-in and security storage are used independently. Submitted application counts come from operational records.

Alerts and employer communications

Job alerts are optional. Addresses supplied without an account are confirmed before alerts are sent. Alerts include an unsubscribe link and account holders can manage their choices. Application acknowledgements, interview invitations, status messages and other hiring communications are separate from marketing alerts. Employer actions and enabled settings can trigger these messages. Ask the employer or support to stop unwanted hiring messages.

Messages between candidates and employers

Employers can message candidates about an application through Work in Belize. Candidates can reply on the site, from a private link, or by replying to the email, and replies sent by email are added to the conversation. We store messages and attached files with the application. The employer’s hiring team and the candidate can read them. Work in Belize staff can read a conversation to provide support, investigate a report or prevent abuse. Messages and files are deleted with the application record under the employer’s retention period, or sooner if the candidate’s information is erased. Candidates can report a conversation and stop further messages from an employer at any time.

Young people and sensitive documents

Accounts and applications are intended for people aged 16 or older. People aged 16 or 17 must involve a parent or guardian and obtain their permission before using the application service. Employer accounts require age 18 or older. Do not submit information about children under 16. Only provide documents relevant to a vacancy; avoid unnecessary identity, medical, financial or criminal-record documents and information about other people without authority. Contact support if such information has been supplied in error.

Security and changes

We use authentication, role-based access and other technical controls to protect private information. No system can guarantee absolute security. We investigate suspected incidents and notify affected parties when appropriate or legally required. Material changes to these practices will be explained on the site; changes requiring a new choice will not be treated as accepted merely because an older choice exists.
