Privacy Policy

Who we are

Vantage (“we”, “us”) is the controller of the personal information described here. For any privacy question or request, email gokuldhamodaran6@gmail.com.

Information you give us

• Account details: your name, email address and password (stored securely as a hash by our authentication provider).
• Profile: citizenship, the country you live in, phone number and LinkedIn link, if you add them.
• Work authorisation: your status in each country you target and whether you need visa sponsorship. We use this only to filter jobs and to prepare truthful answers for you.
• Job-search preferences: target roles, levels, skills, countries, cities, industries, companies and salary floor.
• Resumes and cover letters you paste, write or generate, and the applications you save or track, including notes and interview details.
• Messages you send to “Ask your agent”.
• Your application profile (address, phone, links, salary expectation, optional equal-opportunity answers — which default to “decline”) and answers you give your agent so it can reuse them.
• If you connect a job email: its address and an app password, which we encrypt. Your agent reads messages in that mailbox to find verification codes and employer replies, and stores the ones relevant to your job search (sender, subject, a short excerpt, codes and links).
• Logins your agent creates on employers' careers sites (email and a generated password), encrypted with a key unique to you.
• A screenshot of each application's confirmation page, as proof it was submitted.

Information collected automatically

• Usage information, such as searches run, features used and when you last signed in, to keep the service working and improve it.
• Technical information such as browser type and IP address, processed by our hosting provider for security and reliability.
• Essential cookies that keep you signed in. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

How we use your information

• To provide the service: show jobs you can apply to, score matches, tailor resumes and cover letters, and track applications.
• To keep your account secure and prevent misuse.
• To understand which features help people and to fix problems, using aggregated usage data where possible.
• To contact you about your account and important changes to the service, including any change to early access.

We don't sell your personal information, and we don't use it for advertising.

Legal bases (UK and EU users)

We process your information to perform our contract with you (providing the service), for our legitimate interests in running and improving a secure service, and with your consent where we ask for it. Information about your immigration status is used only because you provide it to receive visa-aware job matching, and you can delete it at any time.

Who we share information with

We share personal information only with service providers that help us run Vantage, under contracts that limit how they can use it:

• Supabase — database and sign-in.
• Render — application hosting, including the browser your agent uses to apply.
• Anthropic — when AI features are used, the relevant resume and job text (and the questions on an application form) is sent to generate tailored documents and answers. Passwords and app passwords are never sent. It isn't used to train their models.
• Email delivery provider — to send sign-in and account emails.

Employers and job applications

Vantage works only with employers' official job postings. When you choose “Apply with agent”, or turn on automatic applying, your agent submits your application on the employer's own careers site on your behalf, using your resume, cover letter, application profile and answers you've confirmed. The employer then receives that application and its privacy policy applies. Your agent never applies to a job you haven't approved directly or through the autonomy setting you chose, and you can pause it at any time.

International transfers

Our providers may store and process information in the United States and other countries. Where required, transfers are protected by safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep information

We keep your information while your account is open. When you delete your account, your profile, preferences, resumes, applications and messages are deleted from our live systems straight away, and from backups within 30 days. Aggregated statistics that can't identify you may be kept.

Your choices and rights

• Access and download your information at any time from Settings → Your data.
• Correct your information in your profile, targets and resumes.
• Delete your account and all associated data from Settings.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, or withdraw consent, by emailing us.
• Complain to your local data protection authority — for example the UK ICO, an EU supervisory authority, or India's Data Protection Board.

Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK, California, Canada, Australia or India), you may have additional rights under local law. We honour these requests without discrimination. Email us and we'll respond within 30 days.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by our providers. Access to your data is restricted by row-level security so each account can only read its own records. Mailbox app passwords and careers-site passwords are additionally encrypted with AES-256 using a key derived for your account; they are decrypted only on our servers when your agent needs them or when you choose to reveal one, and are never shown to our staff or sent to AI providers. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.

Children

Vantage is for people aged 16 and over. We don't knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we'll notify you by email or in the app before they take effect.
