Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Contents

1. Scope, data controller, and contact

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how SwipeHire ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information when you visit swipehire.best, use our web or mobile applications, or otherwise interact with our career platform (collectively, the "Service").

Data Controller. For purposes of applicable data-protection law, SwipeHire is the controller of personal information processed through the Service, except where we act as a processor on behalf of a third party (for example, when transmitting Application Materials to an employer at your direction).

Purpose of Processing. SwipeHire processes career-related personal data to help you discover employment opportunities, evaluate role fit, prepare and submit applications, monitor employer responses, and access educational coaching features. Because this data is sensitive in nature, we describe our practices in detail below.

Contact. For privacy inquiries, data-subject requests, or complaints, contact us at talm13124@gmail.com. Please include the email address associated with your Account to help us verify your identity.

2. Categories of personal information collected

We collect the following categories of personal information, depending on how you use the Service:

A. Identifiers and account data. Name, email address, profile image, Google account identifiers, internal user ID, session tokens, and authentication metadata received through Google OAuth sign-in.

B. Professional and profile data. Headline, professional summary, employment history, education, skills, projects, certifications, languages, portfolio links, phone number, location, seniority level, salary expectations, military service information (if voluntarily provided), screening-question responses, and other fields entered during onboarding or in your Profile.

C. Resume and document data. Resume files you upload (such as PDF or DOCX formats), filenames, upload timestamps, and structured data extracted from documents after your review and confirmation.

D. Job-search activity data. Swipe actions, skips, super-likes, search filters, dream/favorite/blocked company lists, match scores, skill-gap analyses, and interaction events with job cards and listings.

E. Application data. Application status, queued and submitted applications, AI-generated drafts, cover letters, employer-specific answers, submission timestamps, and timeline events (such as "drafted", "submitted", or "interview detected").

F. Email-derived data (optional). Where Gmail access is authorized, metadata and limited message content from emails classified as hiring-related, including sender, subject line, date, and text snippets used to detect interviews, assessments, offers, or rejections. We do not archive your full mailbox.

G. Coach interaction data. Topics viewed, prompts submitted, and AI responses generated within Coach modules.

H. Commercial data. Subscription tier, billing history, renewal dates, and payment-processor identifiers (such as Stripe customer ID). We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.

I. Technical and usage data. Browser type, device characteristics, operating system, IP address, session identifiers, referring URLs, error logs, and security audit records necessary to operate and protect the Service.

3. Sources of personal information

We obtain personal information from the following sources:

Directly from you, when you sign in, complete onboarding, edit your profile, upload resumes, configure preferences, submit applications, interact with Coach tools, purchase a Subscription, or contact support.

Automatically, through cookies, session storage, server logs, and similar technologies when you access the Service.

From third parties, including Google (account authentication and, where authorized, Gmail data), job-listing sources, payment processors, and AI service providers that process data on our behalf.

We do not purchase personal information from data brokers for advertising purposes.

We process personal information for the following business and commercial purposes:

Service delivery. To authenticate users, maintain Accounts, surface job listings, compute match scores, draft and submit applications, track hiring correspondence, and provide Coach features.

Personalization. To tailor feeds, rankings, and recommendations based on your profile, stated preferences, and in-app activity.

Payments and account administration. To process Subscriptions, send billing receipts, manage plan entitlements, and respond to support requests.

Security and integrity. To detect fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and technical errors; to enforce our Terms of Service; and to protect users and the Service.

Legal compliance. To comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Product improvement. To analyze aggregated or de-identified usage patterns and improve algorithms, features, and reliability.

We do not use your personal information for third-party targeted advertising, and we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, our legal bases include: (i) performance of a contract with you; (ii) legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Service, balanced against your rights; (iii) consent where required (such as optional integrations); and (iv) compliance with legal obligations.

5. Automated decision-making and profiling

The Service uses automated processing, including AI-assisted profiling, to rank job listings, generate match scores, classify application complexity, and determine eligibility for autonomous auto-apply under Pro guardrails. These processes may produce legal or similarly significant effects only insofar as they influence which opportunities are surfaced or automatically submitted on your behalf, subject to the controls described in our Terms of Service.

You are not subject to solely automated hiring decisions by SwipeHire; employers make all hiring determinations independently. If you are located in the EEA or UK and wish to obtain human review of a match score or automated application decision, request an explanation of the logic involved, or contest the outcome, contact us at talm13124@gmail.com. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

6. Artificial intelligence and subprocessors

AI-Powered Features. SwipeHire uses machine-learning and large-language-model services to: (i) parse and structure resume content; (ii) score compatibility between your profile and job listings; (iii) generate match explanations and skill-gap analyses; (iv) draft cover letters and screening responses; (v) power Coach modules; and (vi) classify hiring-related email messages.

Subprocessors. To provide these features, we transmit limited personal information to third-party AI providers, including Anthropic, Inc. and OpenAI, LLC, via their enterprise or API interfaces. We configure these services to process data as subprocessors on our behalf for Service delivery, not for the providers' independent advertising or model-training purposes on consumer-facing products.

Provider Terms. Under applicable API and enterprise agreements, content submitted through the Service is generally excluded from use in training public foundation models and is not subject to human review by provider personnel except for abuse monitoring, security, or legal compliance.

Logging and Quality Assurance. We maintain access-controlled logs of certain agent runs for debugging, fraud prevention, and service-quality improvement. Such logs are retained for a limited period consistent with our retention schedule and then deleted or aggregated.

7. Google sign-in and Gmail data

Google Authentication. When you sign in with Google, we receive identifiers and basic profile attributes permitted by your authorization, and we store OAuth tokens necessary to maintain your session and, where authorized, access Gmail on a read-only basis.

Limited Gmail Use. Gmail access is used solely to identify messages reasonably related to active job applications, such as interview scheduling, take-home assignments, offer letters, and rejection notices, in order to update your application tracker and send relevant in-app notifications. We do not use Gmail data to serve advertisements, build unrelated user profiles, or send communications on your behalf.

Limited Use Compliance. Our receipt, use, transfer, and storage of information obtained from Google APIs comply with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You may revoke SwipeHire's Google permissions at any time via your Google Account settings at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Separate Google Privacy Policy. Google's collection and use of data within Google services is governed by Google's own privacy policy, independent of this Policy.

8. Cookies, local storage, and do-not-track

Cookies and Similar Technologies. We use strictly necessary cookies, session cookies, and browser local storage to authenticate users, maintain session state, remember language and display preferences, and cache non-sensitive app state for performance.

No Advertising Trackers. We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies or engage in cross-site tracking for ad targeting. If we introduce analytics or non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent before activation.

Do Not Track. Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Because there is no industry consensus on how to respond to DNT, the Service does not currently alter its practices based solely on receipt of a DNT signal. You may control cookies through your browser settings.

9. Disclosure of personal information

We disclose personal information only in the circumstances described below. We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Service providers (processors). We engage trusted vendors to perform functions on our behalf, including cloud hosting, database management, authentication, AI inference, email classification, payment processing (e.g., Stripe), and browser-automation infrastructure. These parties process personal information under written contracts requiring confidentiality, security measures, and use limited to our instructions.

Employers and job boards. When you apply to a role or authorize autonomous submission, Application Materials and relevant profile data are transmitted to the applicable employer or ATS platform.

Legal and safety disclosures. We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to: comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; enforce our Terms of Service; protect the rights, property, or safety of SwipeHire, our users, or the public; or detect and prevent fraud or security incidents.

Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to continued protection consistent with this Policy.

10. International data transfers

SwipeHire is operated from Israel. Our service providers and subprocessors may process personal information in Israel, the United States, the European Union, and other jurisdictions where they or their facilities are located.

When we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to countries not recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, we implement appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law, which may include Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, or equivalent mechanisms. You may request additional information about transfer safeguards by contacting talm13124@gmail.com.

11. Retention schedule

We retain personal information for as long as your Account remains active and as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Upon Account deletion, we will delete or irreversibly anonymize personal information from active production systems within thirty (30) days, except where retention is necessary for: (a) compliance with legal, tax, or accounting obligations; (b) fraud prevention and dispute resolution; (c) enforcement of our agreements; or (d) backup systems, which are overwritten on a rolling basis within a commercially reasonable period.

Aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you may be retained indefinitely for analytics, research, and product improvement.

12. Your privacy rights and how to exercise them

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have one or more of the following rights with respect to your personal information:

Right of access. To obtain confirmation of whether we process your data and receive a copy of personal information we hold about you.

Right to rectification. To request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information through your Profile settings or by contacting us.

Right to erasure. To request deletion of personal information, subject to lawful exceptions.

Right to restriction. To request that we limit processing in certain circumstances.

Right to data portability. To receive personal information you provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format where technically feasible.

Right to object. To object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling, where applicable law provides such a right.

Right to withdraw consent. Where processing is based on consent, to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

In-App Controls. You may access and edit profile data, manage company lists and filters, review application history, sign out, and initiate Account deletion via Profile settings.

Submitting Requests. To exercise rights not available in-app, email talm13124@gmail.com with the subject line "Privacy Request" and include your Account email. We may verify your identity before processing a request. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (for example, thirty (30) days under GDPR).

13. Account deletion and residual data

You may initiate deletion of your Account at any time by selecting "Delete account & data" in Profile settings or by submitting a written request to talm13124@gmail.com. Upon confirmed deletion, we remove from active systems your profile, resumes, application records, match history, company preferences, and associated personal data, subject to the retention exceptions in Section 11.

Important limitations. Deleting your Account does not: (a) withdraw applications already transmitted to employers or ATS platforms; (b) delete copies held by third parties, including employers and Google; or (c) automatically revoke Google OAuth permissions. To revoke Google access, visit your Google Account permissions page separately.

14. Security measures

We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include: access controls limiting employee and contractor access to data on a need-to-know basis; encryption of data in transit using TLS/HTTPS; secure storage of OAuth tokens and credentials; and monitoring for suspicious activity.

No security program is impenetrable. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Google credentials. If you believe your Account or personal information has been compromised, notify us immediately at talm13124@gmail.com.

15. Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, individuals under sixteen (16) years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, contact talm13124@gmail.com and we will promptly delete such information from our systems, subject to applicable law.

16. Region-specific privacy notices

European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland. You have the rights described in Section 12, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Our legal bases for processing are described in Section 4.

California (CCPA/CPRA). In the preceding twelve (12) months we have collected the categories of personal information listed in Section 2 for the business purposes listed in Section 4. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. California residents may request access to, deletion of, or correction of personal information, and may not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights. Submit requests to talm13124@gmail.com.

Israel. Under the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, you may contact the Privacy Protection Authority of Israel (PPA) with complaints regarding our data practices. We encourage you to contact us first at talm13124@gmail.com so we may address your concern directly.

Other jurisdictions. Where local law grants additional privacy rights, we will honor them as required. Nothing in this Section limits rights that cannot be waived under mandatory law.

17. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may revise this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or Service features. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when this Policy was most recently amended. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service, by email to your Account address, or by other legally compliant means prior to the effective date where required.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms, except where your explicit consent is required by law.
