Terms of Use and Data Usage

Last updated: September 15, 2026

These terms describe the intended use of Codestelle and the handling of content made available on the platform. They apply to the entire platform, regardless of the country in which a job is offered.

1. Searching, Viewing and Sharing Jobs

You may use the public features of Codestelle to search for jobs, view job postings, use available job alerts and follow application links. Sharing individual links to our public job postings and guides is permitted. Standard browser functionality and assistive technologies used for accessibility remain permitted.

When applying through an external website, the terms and privacy policies of the respective provider apply. Codestelle is not the employer of the jobs listed on the platform. Information provided by the respective employer is authoritative regarding job availability and application requirements.

2. Rights to Content

Rights to job postings, company names, logos and other third-party content remain with their respective rights holders. Codestelle does not claim ownership of such third-party content. Displaying content on Codestelle does not grant any rights to republish it.

Rights to Codestelle's own editorial content, design and software are reserved. Where the applicable legal requirements are met, this also applies to the protection of the compilation and database. This does not create exclusive rights to individual facts or to information independently obtained from an employer.

3. Automated and Systematic Use of Data

Unless permitted by law or expressly authorized by Codestelle for the relevant purpose, the following activities are not permitted without Codestelle's prior explicit consent:

  • automated or systematic extraction of job postings, search results or other datasets for the purpose of creating a separate database;
  • the complete or substantial copying, mirroring, republication or redistribution of our datasets;
  • the repeated extraction of smaller portions for the purpose of reconstructing a substantial part of the dataset;
  • circumventing access restrictions, request limits or technical protection measures, including through distributed requests or changing identities.

The technical accessibility of an interface or sitemap does not constitute general permission to export or republish data. Any permission granted by Codestelle can only cover rights that Codestelle itself is entitled to grant; third-party rights remain unaffected.

4. Search Engines and Technical Protection Measures

Standard indexing of public pages by search engines for the purpose of displaying search results with links and customary short previews is permitted within the scope of applicable rights and robots.txt rules. This does not constitute permission to create a copied job platform or to reproduce complete job postings.

Please respect robots.txt, request limits and technical access restrictions. Codestelle may technically restrict or block excessive or abusive access. The fact that content can technically be retrieved does not mean that every subsequent use is permitted.

5. Statutory Rights and International Use

Mandatory statutory rights and exceptions remain unaffected, including permitted quotations, data uses allowed by law and mandatory consumer protection rights. These terms do not restrict such rights and do not create rights in content that Codestelle does not own.

The international nature of the job listings does not establish a general choice of law or exclusive jurisdiction. The rules applicable in an individual case are determined by the applicable law.

6. Job Postings Submitted by Employers

Only submit genuine software and IT jobs if you are authorized to act on behalf of the company named in the posting and possess the necessary rights to the content. Illegal, discriminatory, misleading or fraudulent content is not permitted.

By submitting a job posting, you authorize Codestelle to publicly display the approved posting as part of its job service, technically process it, and make it available through relevant job alerts and search engine previews. Rights to the content remain with their respective rights holders.

New job postings and changes are published only after admin approval. When changes are submitted, the previously approved version remains visible until the job is closed or expires. Codestelle may reject submissions and remove job postings. Email verification does not constitute proof of authorization to represent a company.

The pilot is free of charge. An approval is valid for 30 days and there is no automatic paid renewal. You may close your own job postings at any time. Reach, applications and search engine indexing are not guaranteed.
