Oil Patch Careers Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 16, 2026
Oil Patch Careers respects the privacy of candidates, employers, and visitors using OilPatchCareers.com. This Privacy Policy explains the categories of information we collect and how that information may be used, disclosed, and protected.
1. Information We Collect
Depending upon how you use Oil Patch Careers, we may collect information including your name, address, telephone number, email address, username/account information, employment history, education, certifications, professional skills, résumé information, desired positions, geographic preferences, willingness to travel or relocate, job-search preferences, employer/company information, job advertisements, application activity, membership and subscription information, and communications with Oil Patch Careers.
We may also collect technical information such as IP address, browser/device information, login activity, security events, referring pages, and website usage information.
2. Résumés and Candidate Profiles
Information you provide may be used to create, maintain, modify, and improve your professional candidate profile and résumé. Candidates should not submit highly sensitive information unnecessary for employment applications, such as passwords, complete financial-account numbers, or Social Security numbers, unless a legitimate employer later requests such information through an appropriate secure process.
3. How We Use Your Information
We may use information to create and administer accounts, prepare résumés and candidate profiles, provide job listings, match candidates with opportunities, provide AI-assisted career services, facilitate candidate-requested applications, communicate relevant opportunities, process payments and subscriptions, provide customer service, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, improve services, and comply with legal obligations.
4. AI Processing
Oil Patch Careers may use automated systems and artificial intelligence to analyze information in your candidate profile. These systems may compare skills and experience with job requirements, recommend opportunities, rank potential matches, assist with résumé preparation, or help tailor application materials. AI recommendations are intended to assist—not replace—candidate judgment or an employer’s independent hiring decision.
5. Applications and Employers
Creating an Oil Patch Careers account is not blanket authorization to send your résumé to every employer. When you request, initiate, or authorize an application or submission, relevant candidate information may be transmitted to the applicable employer, recruiting platform, applicant-tracking system, or service provider as necessary to complete that request.
6. Communications
We may use your email address and telephone number for communications reasonably related to your account or requested services, including registration processing, profile and résumé services, job opportunities, requested application activity, billing, security, and customer support. Promotional marketing email consent is collected separately where appropriate, and marketing emails will provide a reasonable unsubscribe method.
7. Payments
Payments are processed through Stripe or another disclosed payment processor. Payment processors may collect card and billing information directly under their own privacy and security practices. Oil Patch Careers may receive transaction identifiers, customer IDs, subscription status, payment status, billing dates, and similar information needed to administer memberships and employer advertising.
8. Information We May Share
We may disclose information to service providers that help operate Oil Patch Careers, including hosting, security, email, payment-processing, analytics, and technology providers. We may disclose candidate information to an employer or recruiting service when the candidate requests or authorizes an application or related service. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law or legal process, protect users or our services, investigate fraud or security incidents, or enforce our Terms.
9. We Do Not Sell Résumés as a Consumer List
Oil Patch Careers does not sell candidate résumés or personal contact information as a general consumer mailing list. Any future materially different use of candidate information would require appropriate disclosure and, where legally required, consent.
10. Cookies and Website Technology
OilPatchCareers.com may use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, account sessions, security, preferences, analytics, payment functionality, and website operation. Third-party services integrated with the website may also use their own cookies or similar technologies.
11. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect user information. Measures may include encrypted HTTPS connections, account authentication, monitoring unsuccessful login attempts, temporary IP blocking, geographic access controls, security logs, and payment processing through specialized third-party providers. No website or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.
12. Data Retention
We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide accounts and services, maintain legitimate business records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, satisfy accounting requirements, and comply with legal obligations. Information no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted or anonymized subject to applicable requirements.
13. Your Choices and Requests
Depending upon applicable law, you may be entitled to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information. You may update much of your candidate information through your Oil Patch Careers account. Marketing-email preferences may be changed using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in those messages.
14. Children
Oil Patch Careers candidate services are intended for adults. Individuals under 18 should not create candidate accounts.
15. Third-Party Websites
Job listings may direct candidates to employer websites or third-party recruiting systems. Their collection and use of information is governed by their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in services, technology, business practices, or legal requirements. The effective date above identifies the current version.
