Your data, in plain words

What we keep

• Your account: your name, your email, and your password, stored scrambled so nobody can read it, us included. If you sign in with Google, Google gives us your name and email.
• Your profile: the answers you give once (studies, work, contests, links, and your phone if you add it) and one CV, a PDF. When a referral asks for one, the cover letter you send with that request, also a PDF. And a CV you made for one job, if you add it when you ask for that referral.
• Your requests: the referrals you asked for, the job you named, and each step: received, reviewed, sent, referred or not picked.
• Notes you send us with the yellow feedback note, and the page you were on.
• Updates under the bell, for 180 days.

No ads, and no trackers that follow you around the web.

Who sees it

• The volunteers who review requests. They read your answers and CV to decide who fits each referral.
• The employee who refers you. When you are shortlisted, they get your CV and answers for that referral only.
• Nobody else. We never sell your data, and we never pass it to companies, recruiters or anyone else without asking you first.

What we use it for

• alwaysReviewing the referrals you ask for and passing you on to the employee. Emails about your account and your requests. Running the site and making it better.
• if you tick itEmails about other chances that fit you, like a referral that just opened.

You can tick or untick that on My profile whenever you like.

How long we keep it

• Your answers and CV: in your account until you change them, upload a new CV, or delete your account.
• An account nobody signs in to for 2 years: we delete it, and email you a month before.
• The CV that went to an employee: we keep our copy with that request, so we know what was sent. The employee’s copy is theirs; we ask them to delete it once the referral is done.
• A cover letter or a CV for one job, sent with a request: with that request, until you withdraw it or delete your account. A CV for one job goes to the employee instead of your profile CV; no AI reads it.
• Notes you send us: until we have dealt with them, and a year at most.

Your choices

• Change your answers or your CV on My profile.
• Stop the emails about other chances, at any time.
• Withdraw a request until your CV has gone to the employee.
• Delete your account on Password and sign in. Everything above goes at once, for good.
• Ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, or anything else: send a feedback note, or email [email protected].

Who helps us run the site

• Amazon Web Services keeps the site and your CV, in Frankfurt, Germany.
• MongoDB Atlas keeps the accounts and answers.
• SendGrid sends our emails.
• Our own page statistics show us which pages people open, what breaks, and how fast pages load, so we can fix them.
• Anthropic reads your CV with its AI, Claude, to write the notes on your CV and how close it is to each referral you ask for. It doesn't use your CV to train its AI.
• Google, only if you sign in with Google.
• Codeforces: we ask it about the handle you type, to show your rating.

They handle your data only to do that job for us.
