Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

TL;DR: By using freshbatch, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

These Terms of Service form a binding agreement between you and freshbatch. By accessing or using the website, dashboard, API, webhook deliveries, or any related service, you accept these terms and our data practices. If you are using freshbatch on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.


2. Description of Service

TL;DR: freshbatch relays job-listing notifications to your webhook endpoint. It is not a job board and does not host listings itself.

freshbatch monitors publicly available computer science job repositories and sends notifications about newly discovered listings to subscriber-owned webhook endpoints. The service acts only as a notification relay. We do not create, endorse, screen, or verify the accuracy of any job posting. All listings originate from third-party sources.


3. User Accounts and Registration

TL;DR: Sign in with GitHub. You must be at least 13 years old, and minors need parental consent. Keep your account secure.

Accounts are created through GitHub OAuth. You must provide accurate information and maintain the security of your account credentials. You must be at least 13 years old to use freshbatch. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the service only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.


4. User Webhook Endpoints and Responsibilities

TL;DR: Your endpoint must be reachable and respond promptly. We sign deliveries with HMAC, but you are responsible for your own server.

You must register a publicly reachable HTTP or HTTPS endpoint that can receive POST requests. Your endpoint should return a successful status code quickly and handle retries responsibly. Each delivery is signed with an HMAC-SHA256 signature so you can verify it came from freshbatch. You are solely responsible for the security, availability, and lawful use of your endpoint, including verifying signatures and protecting any signing secrets.


5. Acceptable Use

TL;DR: Use freshbatch for legitimate job-seeking purposes only. Do not scrape, abuse, or overload the service.

You may use freshbatch only for personal, educational, or legitimate job-search automation. You may not scrape, crawl, reverse engineer, interfere with, or overload the service.

You may not attempt to circumvent rate limits, access accounts you do not own, or use the service for any illegal purpose.


6. Data Collection and Privacy

TL;DR: We collect your GitHub identity, webhook URL, and delivery logs needed to operate the service.

To provide the service, freshbatch collects and stores your GitHub profile information, email address, registered webhook URL, job-type preferences, and webhook delivery logs. We retain this data only as long as necessary to operate and improve the service. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

10. Termination

TL;DR: Either of us can end this agreement. We will delete your data within 30 days of account deletion, except where we must keep it by law.

You may stop using freshbatch and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms, harm the service, or if required by law.
