Privacy
Debut Jobs stores plugin settings in WordPress options and (when applicable) job data as a custom post type in your database. The free plugin does not collect or transmit visitor data.
External Services
This plugin can connect to two external services, and only when you choose to connect a JobAdder account: JobAdder (a recruitment platform) and the Debut Plugins connection relay (a small endpoint we operate so the JobAdder OAuth client secret is never shipped inside the plugin). Both are optional — the plugin is fully functional for manually-managed jobs without them.
What the service does and why it is used
JobAdder hosts the canonical job and application data for many recruitment agencies. The plugin uses JobAdder’s REST API to:
- Authenticate the WordPress site with your JobAdder account using OAuth 2.0.
- Pull job advertisements from your JobAdder job board into WordPress.
- (Pro only) Receive webhook callbacks when jobs change in JobAdder, so listings stay in sync.
- (Pro only) Forward apply-form submissions and CVs back to JobAdder.
What data is sent and when
- During OAuth connection: you are sent to JobAdder to authorise the connection. JobAdder returns an authorisation code to the Debut Plugins relay ( https://debutplugins.com/jobadder-connect.php ), which exchanges it for tokens using our server-side client secret and passes the resulting refresh token back to your site. No visitor data is sent.
- During token refresh: your site sends its stored JobAdder refresh token to the Debut Plugins relay, which returns a fresh access token. This happens whenever the plugin needs to talk to JobAdder (for example before a scheduled import). No visitor data is sent.
- During scheduled or manual import: an authenticated GET request is sent to JobAdder’s API base. Your access token is sent as a Bearer header. No visitor data is sent.
- (Pro) When an applicant submits the integrated apply form on a JobAdder-sourced job: the applicant’s name, email, phone, cover letter, and uploaded CV are POSTed to JobAdder’s /applications endpoint, then the CV is uploaded to /applications/{id}/resume.
- (Pro) On site activation/connection: a webhook subscription is registered with JobAdder pointing back at this site ( /wp-json/debut-jobs/v1/webhook ). The site URL and site name are sent.
- (Pro) On disconnection: a DELETE request removes the webhook subscription.
No data is sent to JobAdder unless you explicitly connect a JobAdder account in the plugin’s Settings → Connection screen.

Service provider — Debut Plugins connection relay
php. Your site sends only the OAuth authorisation code (during connection) or your stored JobAdder refresh token (during refresh); the relay completes the exchange with JobAdder and returns the tokens to your site. The relay processes no visitor data and is contacted only while a JobAdder account is connected.
This relay is operated by Debut Studio Limited.
