Privacy Policy

What you give us when you use OpenlyHire:

• Account details — your email address, a password (stored only as a one-way hash) and, if you add one, a phone number. If you sign in with Google or LinkedIn, the name and email address that provider shares with us.
• Your candidate profile — name, headline, bio, location, links, skills, education, work experience, a profile picture and cover image if you add them, and your résumé file.
• Applications — the jobs you apply to, what you send with an application, and its status and history as the employer answers it.
• Messages — conversations with employers about your applications, and any report you make about a message.
• Employer accounts — company details, team members and invitations, job postings, and the answers given to applicants.
• Settings — notification preferences, profile visibility and your transparency audit consent.

What is recorded automatically: sign-in sessions (so you can see and end them), one-time sign-in codes until they are used or expire, and error reports when something breaks, which can include your browser or device type and the page you were on.

The mobile app uses your camera or photo library only when you choose a profile picture, and keeps your sign-in token in the device's secure storage. It contains no advertising or analytics SDK.

• To run your account and sign you in, including sending sign-in codes.
• To show your profile and applications to the employers you apply to.
• To send the emails the product depends on: verification, sign-in codes, application updates and reminders to employers who have not answered. Newsletters only if you turn them on.
• To measure how employers treat applicants — whether and how quickly they answer — and publish that record. This measures employers, not you; it is counted only while your transparency audit consent is on, and it never shows recruiters a score about you.
• To find and fix errors, prevent abuse, and keep the service secure.

Employers you apply to see your application and your profile. Who else can see your profile depends on your profile visibility setting. Companies' public records are aggregates; they do not name applicants.

We use these service providers to run OpenlyHire, only for that purpose:

• DigitalOcean — hosting and database.
• UploadThing — storage for résumés and images.
• Resend — sending email.
• Sentry — error reports.
• Google Maps Platform — suggesting place names as you type a location.
• Google and LinkedIn — only if you choose to sign in with them.

We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, or track you across other apps and sites. We disclose data if the law requires it.

Your account data is kept until you close your account. Conversations are kept while the application they belong to is open and for twelve months after, then deleted, unless a report about them is still being looked at. Sign-in codes expire within minutes.

When you close your account, your profile, résumé, pictures and messages are deleted. Applications you already sent stay with the employers who received them, detached from your account, and any note an employer wrote about you is removed — so a company's record of how it answered applicants does not change when someone leaves.

You can view and edit your profile, change notification and visibility settings, and withdraw transparency audit consent in Settings at any time. You can close your account from the app or the website.

To request a copy of your data, a correction, or anything else about your privacy, email m.shrayyef@gmail.com.

OpenlyHire is not for anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new effective date. Questions go to OpenlyHire at m.shrayyef@gmail.com.
