Transparency & Policy Center

Your resume file, optional cover letter, the answers you type in an application, and your contact details. If you create an account: your email, a password hash (bcrypt — we never see the password), and profile fields you add. Basic technical context (IP, browser) is recorded with consent events and payments for security and receipt-evidence purposes.

Job postings, screening questions, and — when a recruiter imports candidates by CSV or API — the records they attest they may lawfully process. Every import is batch-tracked with the importing account recorded, so provenance is always auditable.

We don't sell applicant contact data to advertisers, we don't use dark-pattern consent, and advertising surfaces only ever receive aggregated, anonymized cohort counts — never individual profiles.

If you grant AI-extraction consent when applying, we parse your resume into structured fields (skills, experience, location) so recruiters can find and evaluate you faster. If you decline, your resume is stored and shown to the recruiter as-is — you can still apply to everything.

Match scores compare your structured profile against the job's stated requirements (skills, experience, location). They order lists for recruiters; they never auto-reject anyone. Rejection decisions are made by humans, and stage changes that trigger emails are recruiter-initiated.

No SourceHire system automatically rejects, disqualifies, or blacklists an applicant based on an AI signal. Automated emails fire only on recruiter-driven stage changes or clearly disclosed timers (e.g. a job's auto-close window that the employer explicitly enables).

Card details captured for manual payment processing are encrypted at rest and purged 60 days after capture — the window needed to cover chargeback and dispute rights. Receipts retain only the last four digits.

Applications and profiles persist so recruiters can act on them and you can track them. You can trigger full erasure yourself at any time (see Your controls below).

Closing your account starts a 60-day grace period (in case it was unintended), after which deletion proceeds. Session cookies expire after 60 days of inactivity at most.

Go to /data-access and verify you own the data — either by re-uploading the resume you applied with (matched by cryptographic hash) or by passing an identity quiz built from your own history. Verification succeeds → the erasure cascade runs immediately across profiles, files, and derived data.

Every marketing email includes one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058) plus a footer link. Transactional emails about your own applications continue, since they're part of the service you requested.

The Fraud & Reporting Center at /report takes reports with attachments and routes them to a human review queue. Reports are acknowledged and tracked.

Access, correction, portability, and deletion rights are honored via the tools above regardless of where you live; CCPA opt-outs and GDPR marketing-consent separation are enforced in our email pipeline at send time, per recipient.

Priority Review is an optional visibility service for applicants. It never changes hiring requirements and buying it is never required to apply. Terms are linked at purchase and on every receipt, versioned so your receipt always shows the terms you actually agreed to.

Every purchase generates a receipt with the exact authorization language you agreed to, the checkout URL, timestamp, and technical evidence — the same artifact we'd present in a dispute, available to you at any time.

Voluntary EEO self-identification is collected on a separate step, stored apart from the application a recruiter evaluates, and never shown alongside your candidacy.

Paid visibility affects ordering in recruiter lists and is labeled as sponsored where it appears. It does not alter match scores, qualifications, or any hiring requirement.

TLS everywhere; bcrypt password hashing; server-side sessions with immediate fleet-wide revocation; per-route rate limiting with exponential backoff; honeypot and bad-bot detection with automatic bans; encrypted-at-rest card data with scheduled purge; and API keys stored only as SHA-256 hashes.
