Privacy policy
This privacy policy explains how Letter Jobs ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information when you use our platform at letterjobs.com (the "Service"). Letter Jobs is a marketplace that connects newsletter creators with employers for job ad placements.
We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003. Where we serve users in the European Economic Area, we also comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).
By using Letter Jobs, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Service.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you register for an account and use our Service. This may include:
- Account information (e.g. name, email address, password)
- Newsletter information (e.g. newsletter name, description, audience size, pricing)
- Company and job ad information (e.g. company name, job details)

We use Stripe to process payments and payouts. All sensitive financial information (card numbers, bank account details, identity documents) is collected and processed directly by Stripe and never passes through our servers. We only receive limited transaction metadata (e.g. amounts, dates, statuses). See Stripe's Privacy Policy for details.

| Processing payments and managing financial transactions | Performance of contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) and legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) for tax and financial record-keeping |

4. Who we share your information with
4.1 Between users
Newsletter information (e.g. name, description, audience size, and pricing) is shared with employers to facilitate matching. Job listing details are shared with newsletter creators when placement requests are made. Certain newsletter information is also displayed publicly on our platform.
4.2 Third-party service providers
We work with carefully selected third-party service providers who process data on our behalf. These include:
- Stripe: For payment processing and creator payouts. Stripe acts as an independent data controller for the payment information it collects directly from you
- Email service providers: For delivering transactional emails about your account and activity
- Analytics services: For understanding how the platform is used and improving the user experience (with your consent only)
- Cloud infrastructure providers: For hosting, content delivery, data storage, and server log monitoring
All service providers are bound by data processing agreements and are committed to protecting your information.
4.3 Other disclosures
- Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such change
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing or any other purpose.
5. International data transfers
Letter Jobs is based in the United Kingdom. Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the UK, including the United States, where some of our service providers operate.
These countries may not provide the same level of data protection as the UK. To protect your data during international transfers, we rely on:
- The UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for US providers certified under the framework
- The UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to EU Standard Contractual Clauses, where the Data Privacy Framework does not apply
6. Data retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service and fulfil the purposes described in this policy:
- Account and listing data: Retained for as long as your account is active, or until you request deletion
- Payment and order records: 6 years after the transaction, as required by UK tax and financial record-keeping obligations
- Campaign performance data: Retained for as long as needed to provide reporting to users
When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it. We may also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
7. Cookies and tracking technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service:
- Essential cookies: We use a session cookie to keep you signed in. This is strictly necessary for the Service to function and does not require your consent
- Analytics: We use analytics tools that store information on your device to help us understand how the platform is used. These are only activated after you give your consent through our cookie banner
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), storing information on your device for non-essential purposes requires your prior consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie preferences on our site.

10. Data security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
