Privacy Policy

We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:

• Email address — when you sign up or log in via OTP. Used for authentication and to send you a one-time code.
• Profile details — if you choose to provide them: your name, phone number, WhatsApp number, and Telegram chat ID. Used to personalise results, share results to you, and send job alerts.
• Resume content — parsed when you upload it and used during your session for matching and AI tools. We do not retain your resume text after the session except when you send a referral request (see “Referral network” below), where a copy is saved to that request.
• Search criteria — job roles, location, and companies you search for. Stored only if you explicitly save a search.
• Referral data — if you use the referral network: for referrers, your company email address (to verify you) and profile (job title, company); for seekers, the role, note, and resume snapshot attached to a referral request.
• Device fingerprint — an anonymous browser identifier used to enforce free-tier usage limits (searches and AI tools) for non-logged-in users. It contains no personal information.

• To authenticate you via email OTP (one-time password).
• To match your resume against job listings and run AI tools (ATS check, JD match, cover letters, etc.) using Claude AI (Anthropic).
• To enforce fair usage limits (free tier: 3 searches and 7 AI-tool actions per month; anonymous: 3 searches and 7 AI-tool actions per device).
• To restore your saved searches and to send job alerts you have set up.
• To operate the referral network and connect you with the other party when a referral is accepted.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing.

• Anthropic (Claude AI) — your resume text and job descriptions are sent to Anthropic's API for analysis. Anthropic's privacy policy applies to that processing.
• Resend (email) — used to send OTP codes, alerts, and referral notifications to your email address.
• Telegram — only if you connect a Telegram chat ID to receive job alerts there.

The referral network involves sharing personal data between users, with consent, so please note:

• Before a referrer accepts, a seeker's identity stays anonymous — the referrer sees only a match score, skills summary, and note.
• When a referrer accepts a request, both parties consent to share their contact details with each other — this includes name, email address, and LinkedIn (where provided), and the seeker's resume is revealed to that referrer.
• If a referrer declines, nothing about the seeker is shared.
• We share these details only with the specific other party in the referral — never publicly or with any employer.

• OTP codes expire after 10 minutes and are deleted/invalidated after use.
• Your account, profile, saved searches, and referral records are stored until you delete your account.
• Anonymous fingerprint records are kept for 90 days then automatically purged.

All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Passwords are never stored — we use passwordless OTP authentication. JWT tokens are signed with a server-side secret.

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing us. We will process your request within 7 days.

We use a single session token (stored in localStorage or sessionStorage) to keep you logged in. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.
