Introduction and Overview
Welcome to ExploraFly—a resource-driven platform created to give you reliable, unbiased access to information about job openings and career development opportunities in Germany. At https://explorafly.com/, we publish carefully selected listings sourced from publicly available job postings, as well as practical guides to help you write competitive CVs, prepare for interviews, develop your skillset, and understand the employment landscape more clearly.
We’re committed to safeguarding your privacy while you browse our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data may be collected through your interaction with our website, how that data is handled, and the protections we’ve put in place to secure it. Our focus is on clarity and accountability, so you always know how your information is treated.
Below, you’ll find an overview of the ways we process and manage your data during your time on the ExploraFly site. If anything remains unclear or you would like to reach out, you can contact us directly at https://explorafly.com/contact.
Scope of the Privacy Policy
This policy applies to all data collected while using the ExploraFly website. That includes viewing job opportunities, browsing articles, accessing professional development resources, and engaging with any feature hosted at https://explorafly.com.
Please note: any external website linked through our content—whether it’s an official job board, a company career page, or a training provider—operates independently and may follow its own data collection practices. We advise you to review those policies before submitting any personal details through third-party links.
Consent
By continuing to browse or use ExploraFly, you acknowledge and agree to the terms set out in this Privacy Policy. This includes how we may collect and process your information while you interact with any part of our site. Using our resources—whether a job listing or a career tip article—indicates your acceptance of these terms.
Your use of the platform also implies agreement with our Terms of Use. If you do not accept the policies stated in either document, we recommend that you discontinue using the site. Remaining on ExploraFly after reading this notice will be considered informed consent.
AI-Generated Content
As part of our editorial workflow, ExploraFly may occasionally rely on AI-based tools to assist with early-stage content structuring, clarity suggestions, or formatting support. These tools are never used to publish content automatically and do not replace human judgment.
Every article or listing that appears on our site is reviewed, verified, and edited by an experienced team member. We ensure that all published material is accurate, context-appropriate, and relevant to readers navigating the German job market.
We believe it’s important to be open about how our content is created. If you’re curious about how we maintain editorial integrity or want to know more about how AI is used in our process, you’re welcome to reach out via the contact form on our website.
I. Data Collection Practices
At ExploraFly, we take a responsible and transparent approach to handling data. We collect certain information to improve platform performance, protect user access, and offer relevant features. This data comes from three main sources: information you share with us, data automatically gathered from your device, and limited input from trusted third-party services.
A. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
You can access most areas of ExploraFly without sharing personal details. However, certain features — like subscriptions, notifications, or interactive tools — may ask you to submit basic information.
When using these features, you might be asked for your name, email, phone number, or general location. This information helps us verify your access, deliver requested updates, or personalize parts of your experience.
If you contact us through our support form, take part in surveys, or provide feedback, we use that information solely to respond or improve the platform. Your input helps us tailor content and ensure smooth support.
B. AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION
When you browse ExploraFly, we automatically collect technical data that helps us maintain and improve the site. This includes your IP address, browser type, device info, time and date of access, and how you navigate our pages.
This data is gathered through tools like cookies, log files, and web analytics. It allows us to track site performance, troubleshoot errors, and understand user behavior — such as which articles are read most or how long users stay on certain pages.
We use cookies and web beacons to remember your preferences and optimize your experience. For example, these tools may help us display content similar to what you’ve recently viewed or track performance across different browsers.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that doing so may affect how some features work. By continuing to use our site without changing these settings, you consent to our use of cookies as described.
C. INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTIES
We may partner with external advertising and analytics providers to support our content and platform operations. These third parties may use tracking tools (such as cookies or pixels) within our pages to collect anonymized data like your browser type, visit time, general location, or ad interactions.
This helps us measure engagement and display ads that are broadly relevant to users. While these technologies run within our site, the data they collect is managed under the privacy terms of each individual provider.
We do not share your personal information directly with advertisers, nor do we control how they handle data after collection. Clicking on an ad does not create a relationship between you and any external party.
Some partners, like Google, may use cookies to show interest-based ads. If you prefer to opt out of these, you can update your ad preferences through your Google account or review their official privacy policies for more information.
To better understand how your data may be used by third-party tools linked within our site, we recommend reviewing each provider’s privacy policy. This Privacy Policy applies only to data collected through ExploraFly and does not extend to external services.
II. SMS Notifications and User Consent
A. CONSENT AUTHORIZATION
At ExploraFly, we respect your right to privacy and ensure that all communications—including SMS messages—are fully based on your voluntary, informed consent. In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Germany’s Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG), we only send SMS communications when you have clearly agreed to receive them.
If you choose to share your phone number with us—for example, through a form, survey, or interactive feature—you may be offered the option to receive text messages from ExploraFly. This option will always include a description of the message type, whether informational or promotional, and will require you to actively confirm your interest, typically by ticking a box or using another clear consent mechanism.
By opting in, you explicitly grant us permission to contact you via SMS for purposes such as updates about newly published content, site-related notifications, or relevant news about job opportunities and professional resources. It is entirely your choice. You are not required to provide your phone number or agree to SMS communication in order to browse, read, or benefit from the content on our website.
B. OPTING OUT OF SMS MESSAGES
You may withdraw your consent to receive SMS messages from ExploraFly at any time. To stop receiving messages, simply reply to any text with the word “STOP.” Your number will be removed from our SMS list immediately and without delay.
If you would rather manage your preferences through our support team, you can contact us directly at https://explorafly.com/contact. We will process your request promptly and ensure your contact information is updated accordingly.
ExploraFly complies with the applicable German and European data protection regulations concerning electronic communication. We do not use automated messaging without consent, and we honor all opt-out requests securely and without imposing conditions. Additionally, when technically feasible, we respect browser-based privacy signals that reflect communication preferences.
III. Purpose and Use of Collected Information

IV. Commitment to Data Protection
ExploraFly places a high priority on protecting user information. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data under any circumstances. In some cases, we may share anonymized or aggregated data with trusted partners to help improve platform performance, develop new features, or better understand general usage trends. This type of data sharing does not reveal any personal identity.
Users can choose to opt out of this form of anonymous data use at any time. If you would like to manage your preferences or learn more about your options, please reach out through our contact form.
To safeguard personal data, we use a combination of strong security practices. This includes encrypted connections for data transfers, limited internal access based on roles, and monitoring tools designed to detect unusual or unauthorized activity. Our systems are reviewed on a regular basis, and we perform audits to strengthen protection and close any potential vulnerabilities.
While we take every reasonable step to secure our platform, no online system is completely free from risk. If an unauthorized incident ever occurs, ExploraFly will act quickly to contain the issue, restore security, and follow all necessary notification steps. If your data is involved, you will be informed promptly along with guidance on how to protect your information.
For us, protecting user privacy goes beyond technical safeguards. It reflects the trust placed in our platform. We remain committed to building and maintaining a safe, respectful, and transparent environment for everyone who visits ExploraFly.
V. Implementing Your Privacy Privileges
5.1 Understanding Your Rights
At ExploraFly, we believe everyone has the right to know how their personal information is used and to make decisions about it. Whether you browse anonymously or engage more actively with our platform, you are entitled to access, review, or request changes to the information we hold about you.
In certain cases, you may also ask us to limit how your data is used or request its permanent deletion. While we aim to honor all requests, there may be instances where we are required to keep specific records for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
We provide tools and support to help you manage your privacy preferences. Our goal is not only to meet legal expectations but also to give users clear control over how their data is handled.
5.2 Our Data Retention Practices
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed to fulfill its intended purpose. This includes ensuring site functionality, delivering content, resolving support requests, maintaining security, and improving overall performance.
For example, we may retain your contact details to respond to previous messages or follow up on unresolved issues. Technical data related to performance and safety may be stored temporarily to help detect future problems. Once the information is no longer useful, it is either deleted or anonymized so that it cannot be traced back to you.
If you wish to have your data removed, you can submit a request through our contact page at https://explorafly.com/contact. We will process your request promptly and inform you once the removal is complete or if some information must be retained temporarily for legal or operational reasons.
At ExploraFly, we take privacy seriously. Our data handling processes are designed to protect user rights, support transparency, and ensure your information is managed responsibly from start to finish.
VI. Rights Under GDPR for Data Protection
For individuals located within the European Economic Area (EEA), ExploraFly upholds all rights granted under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are committed to maintaining full transparency about how personal data is handled and ensuring that users have meaningful control over their information. Our processes are designed to reflect GDPR principles, including fairness, accountability, and user empowerment.
As defined by GDPR, users are entitled to a number of data-related rights that we fully support and facilitate. These include the ability to request a copy of the personal data we’ve collected, correct any errors or inaccuracies in that data, and—in certain circumstances—ask for their information to be permanently removed from our systems. This is often referred to as the “right to be forgotten.”
In addition, users may request that we temporarily limit how their data is processed instead of erasing it, especially if questions arise regarding its accuracy or usage. Individuals also have the right to object to specific types of data processing, particularly when it relates to promotional communications or use cases they consider unnecessary. Where technically feasible, users can request that their personal data be provided in a standard digital format or transferred to another service provider of their choice.
ExploraFly is committed to addressing GDPR-related inquiries in a timely and thorough manner. We strive to respond to valid requests within 30 days, barring any delays due to legal complexities or operational constraints. If you would like to submit a request under GDPR or if you have concerns about how your information is being used, please contact us via our official support channel at https://explorafly.com/contact. Our team is ready to assist and ensure your rights are respected.
VII. Additional Provisions Under the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG)
In addition to the standards set by the GDPR, ExploraFly complies with the Federal Data Protection Act of Germany (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG), which supplements European data protection law with national rules specific to Germany. These provisions apply when processing activities involve individuals located in Germany and are especially relevant in contexts such as employment, automated decision-making, and data processing involving minors.
The BDSG outlines specific conditions for handling employee data, requiring that such processing be clearly necessary for the employment relationship or based on freely given and informed consent. It also includes restrictions on the use of video surveillance in both public and private spaces, emphasizing the need for proportionality and transparency.
Furthermore, the BDSG regulates profiling and automated decision-making, particularly where such processes may influence access to credit, employment, or essential services. In these cases, individuals must be offered meaningful explanations and the right to request human intervention. When consent is the basis for data collection, the law also requires parental authorization for users under the age of 16.
ExploraFly applies these national provisions wherever they are relevant, ensuring that all data processing complies not only with the broader framework of the GDPR but also with the additional protections required under German law.
VIII. Parental Oversight of Children’s Data
ExploraFly is designed for a general audience and is not intended for use by children. In accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 8 of the EU GDPR, we do not knowingly collect or process personal data from anyone under the age of 16 when consent is the legal basis for processing, unless that consent is provided or authorized by a parent or legal guardian.
We encourage parents and guardians to actively support and supervise their children’s digital habits. Conversations about online privacy, responsible behavior, and the importance of not sharing personal data without guidance are critical to fostering safe internet use from an early age.
Should we become aware that a user under 16 has submitted personal information without verified parental authorization, we will take appropriate steps to remove that data and prevent further collection. Although verifying age in digital contexts is inherently limited, we treat all reports seriously and act swiftly to ensure compliance with applicable laws.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal data to ExploraFly, please reach out via https://explorafly.com/contact. We will review the case and, where necessary, delete any data associated with the minor.
ExploraFly is committed to upholding strict standards in protecting the personal data of all users and applies additional care when there is any possibility that a child’s information may be involved.
IX. Future Adjustments to Our Privacy Policy
As ExploraFly develops new features, improves its systems, or adjusts to changes in technology, this Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect current practices. Updates may also be made to clarify our approach to data handling or respond to evolving privacy expectations.
Whenever this policy is revised, the latest version will be published on this page. If the changes affect how we use or manage your personal data, we will communicate them clearly so that you remain informed.
We recommend reviewing this page from time to time to stay up to date. Continued use of the site after any updates means you accept the revised terms. If at any point the changes no longer align with your preferences, you may choose to stop using the platform.
X. Our Contact Information
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we manage personal data, you can reach out to us at any time through our contact form at https://explorafly.com/contact.
Our team is ready to assist with any inquiries related to privacy, data usage, or your rights as a user. We are committed to providing clear answers and timely support to ensure your information is handled with care and transparency.
