Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Steven ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you use our recruitment and application tracking platform (the "Service"), including our careers sites and related applications.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Information you provide directly. When you apply for a role, create an account, or communicate with us, we collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, resume, work history, education, references, and any other information you choose to submit.
  • Information from third parties. If you sign in with Google or another provider, we receive basic profile information (such as name, email, and profile image) from that provider. With your authorization, we may also access limited data from connected services (such as calendar availability or email threads) to facilitate scheduling and communication.
  • Automatically collected information. We collect technical and usage data, including IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, and interactions with the Service. We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, security, and analytics.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
  • Evaluate applications and facilitate the hiring process;
  • Communicate with you about roles, interviews, and related matters;
  • Schedule interviews and coordinate with hiring teams;
  • Generate AI-assisted insights, such as matching candidates to roles or drafting communications;
  • Secure the Service, detect fraud, and enforce our terms;
  • Comply with legal obligations.

3. How We Share Information

We may share information:

  • With hiring teams and employers using the Service to evaluate your application;
  • With service providers that help us operate the Service (hosting, authentication, email delivery, analytics, AI/ML processing) under contractual confidentiality and security obligations;
  • For legal reasons, when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights and the safety of users;
  • In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service and for legitimate business purposes, including legal, accounting, and reporting obligations. Candidate data is retained to support future opportunities unless you request deletion.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. You may also disconnect third-party integrations (such as Google) at any time.

6. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. International Transfers

We may process your information in countries other than the one in which you reside. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for cross-border transfers.

8. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by other reasonable means.
