Privacy Policy

ScoutAI is a job search assistance platform. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

When you use ScoutAI, we may collect the following information:

• Account information: your name and email address when you create an account.
• Resume data: the content of resumes you upload, including work experience, skills, and education.
• LinkedIn profile data: when you explicitly choose to import your LinkedIn profile via our Chrome extension.
• Job application tracking: records of jobs you save, apply to, or interact with through ScoutAI.
• Generated content: cover letters and tailored resumes created by our AI on your behalf.

Your data is used to:

• Match you with relevant job listings based on your skills and experience.
• Generate personalized cover letters and tailored resumes.
• Track your job applications and search progress.
• Improve our matching algorithms and product experience.

ScoutAI uses Anthropic's Claude AI to power features like resume parsing, job matching, and cover letter generation. When you use these features, relevant portions of your data (such as resume content and job descriptions) are sent to the Anthropic API for processing. Anthropic does not use this data to train their models.

Our Chrome extension only accesses LinkedIn profile data when you explicitly click the import button. It does not run in the background, does not scrape data automatically, and does not access any data from other websites or browser tabs.

Your data is stored securely in a PostgreSQL database hosted by Neon. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

We use cookies solely for authentication purposes (NextAuth session management). These cookies are necessary for keeping you signed in and do not track you across other websites.

We use PostHog for anonymous usage analytics to understand how people use ScoutAI and improve the product. This data is aggregated and does not include personally identifiable information.

You have the right to:

• Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
• Request deletion of your account and all associated data.
• Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Opt out of analytics tracking.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at sonny@sonny-steele.com. We will respond within 30 days.

You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting sonny@sonny-steele.com. Upon deletion, all your personal data, resumes, generated content, and application history will be permanently removed from our systems.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you via email or through a notice on the platform.

If you have questions about this privacy policy or your data, reach out to us at sonny@sonny-steele.com.
