Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-19

IJEDZ is a mobile application and website that connects people looking for work with people looking for workers across Algeria. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, who it is shared with, and how you can have it erased.

Who we are

IJEDZ is operated by Invec. For any question about this policy or about your data, contact us at invicta.agency0@gmail.com.

What we collect

Information you give us when you create an account:

  • First and last name
  • Phone number — this is how you sign in, and it is verified by SMS
  • Password, stored only as a cryptographic hash that cannot be reversed
  • Your wilaya and your work category
  • An email address, only if you choose to provide one

Information you add while using the service:

  • Profile photo, portfolio images and progress photos you upload
  • The "about" text on your profile
  • Job posts you publish and offers you send or receive
  • Reviews and ratings you give and receive
  • Trust and connection links with other users
  • Reports you submit and feedback you send us

Technical information:

  • A push notification token for the device you are signed in on
  • Basic device information and sign-in session tokens
  • One-time codes used to verify your phone number

We do not collect your location. The app does not request GPS or location permission. The only location we hold is the wilaya you select yourself.

Payments

Subscriptions are paid on our website, not in the app. Payments are processed by Chargily, an Algerian payment provider. Your card details are entered on Chargily's own payment page and are never sent to, seen by, or stored on our servers. What we store is the phone number you entered, the amount, the date, and a payment reference, so we can apply the subscription to the right account and keep proper accounts.

How we use your data

  • To create and secure your account, and to sign you in
  • To show your profile, job posts and offers to other users, which is the purpose of the service
  • To calculate ratings and rankings
  • To send you notifications about offers, reviews and account activity
  • To apply and manage subscriptions
  • To investigate reports, prevent abuse, and enforce bans

What other people can see

IJEDZ is a marketplace, so parts of your profile are public to other users by design: your name, profile photo, wilaya, work category, portfolio images, your job posts and offers, and the reviews and ratings you have received. Your phone number, email address and password are never shown publicly.

Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with the services that make the app work:

  • Google Firebase — verifies your phone number by SMS and delivers push notifications
  • Cloudflare R2 — stores the images you upload
  • Chargily — processes subscription payments
  • Pusher — delivers real-time updates inside the app
  • Hostinger — hosts our servers and database

We may also disclose data where we are legally required to do so.

Where your data is stored

Our servers are located in the European Union, image storage and phone verification are operated by providers based outside Algeria, and payment processing is carried out in Algeria by Chargily. This means your personal data is transferred outside Algeria in the course of providing the service.

How long we keep it

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your personal data is erased as described below, with two exceptions:

  • Payment records are kept to meet accounting and tax obligations.
  • Moderation records are kept where an account was banned, so that deleting an account cannot be used to escape a ban. For this we keep a one-way cryptographic value derived from the phone number, not the number itself.

Neither of these identifies you after your account has been deleted.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time, in two ways:

Deletion takes effect 30 days after you confirm it. During that period you can cancel simply by signing in again. After that, your name, phone number, email address, profile photo, uploaded images, profile text and notification tokens are permanently erased.

Content you created that involves other people — such as reviews you wrote about them — remains, but is no longer linked to your name or any detail identifying you. We do this so that other users do not silently lose ratings and history they earned.

Your rights

You can access and correct most of your information directly in the app. You can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to erase it, by contacting invicta.agency0@gmail.com. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request — we will not act on an unverified request, because doing so would put other people's accounts at risk.

Security

Passwords are stored as hashes and never in readable form. Traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted. Phone numbers are verified by SMS before an account can be created. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your data.

Children

IJEDZ is not intended for children. You must be old enough to work and to enter into contracts to use the service.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. Significant changes will be communicated in the app.
