Privacy

Privacy policy for ProfOS and ApplyPilot

ProfOS is designed around candidate ownership, controlled visibility, and review-first workflows. The platform should help people organize professional information without exposing more than they chose to share.

What ProfOS stores

ProfOS stores account details, profile information, privacy settings, evidence records, credentials, opportunity CRM entries, packets, and other workspace data you choose to create. Candidate records are private by default until you change visibility.

What ApplyPilot stores

ApplyPilot is local-first. Its profile data, saved answers, settings, and learned corrections stay in the browser's local extension storage unless you export or import them yourself. Core ApplyPilot use does not require cloud sync.

Connected Evidence

When you connect outside sources such as GitHub, ORCID, RSS, arXiv, Crossref, Zenodo, or manual URLs, imported items go into a private review inbox first. They are not published automatically.

Visibility and sharing

You control whether profile sections, contact details, goals, references, credentials, timeline items, and capability assessments are private, public, employer-visible, or limited to a secret packet link.

Payments and employer accounts

Employer and recruiter plans use Stripe for billing workflows. ProfOS should receive only the billing metadata needed to manage subscriptions, plan limits, and support; card handling stays with Stripe.

Support and account requests

For support, privacy questions, or account deletion issues, contact sreid1118@gmail.com. Account deletion removes platform-stored workspace data associated with that account, subject to any necessary audit or billing retention.

Important privacy rules

  • Profiles, notes, imported evidence, references, and packets begin private unless the user changes visibility.
  • ApplyPilot does not auto-submit applications and does not auto-fill sensitive demographic fields by default.
  • Connected source imports require review before they become part of a public profile.
  • Verification labels describe the source or review state of an item and do not claim more than they prove.
  • No hidden form submission, background outreach, or secret profile publishing is part of the core workflow.
