Privacy Policy AutoApply
We value your trust and want you to feel confident about how your data is handled on our AI-driven job matching and interview platform.
Why Your Privacy Matters to Us
Look, privacy policies usually feel like a lot of legal mumbo jumbo, but it’s important you know exactly what happens with your info here. When you use AutoApply, you’re sharing your career history, interview recordings, and personal details — and we treat that seriously. From our experience, being clear and upfront helps build a real connection, so you feel safe and in control.
Our platform blends AI job matching with interview automation, so your data fuels two key areas: finding the right jobs for you and managing your interview process smoothly. That means we collect and handle your information carefully to make your experience efficient and secure.
| Data Type | Purpose | Storage Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Profile Info | Job matching, relevance scoring | Until account deletion + legal retention |
| Resume & Application Materials | Auto-filling applications, AI analysis | Stored securely until deletion |
| Interview Recordings | Coaching & employer sharing (with consent) | Retained unless deleted by user |
What Information We Collect and Why It Counts
When you sign up, we gather the basics like your name, email, and location preferences. But here’s the thing — it’s not just for contact. Our AI uses this info to filter out jobs that wouldn’t fit your profile geographically or by experience. So you’re not wasting time on irrelevant listings.
Personal Profile Data
Your background details — like skills, certifications, and current role — help our algorithms get a clear sense of the jobs you’re suited for. Trust me, you don’t want to get matched with something totally off-base.
Resume and Application Materials
Uploading your resume and cover letters makes applying quicker. Our system parses these documents to auto-fill forms and score your fit for each opening. Honestly, it can save you hours.
Interview and Communication Records
We also record practice interviews and store feedback to improve coaching suggestions. Plus, your communication preferences and scheduling info help us automate interview setups without back-and-forth emails.
How We Use Your Information Day-to-Day
Our usage breaks down pretty simply into three buckets:
- AI Job Matching: Your profile info powers the matching engine, which looks at skills, experience, salary expectations, and location to surface relevant jobs.
- Interview Automation: Scheduling and interview flow management use your availability and preferences to sync with employers automatically.
- Platform Improvement: We analyze anonymized data trends to enhance features like interview coaching and job recommendations.
What users tell us is that this mix of automation really cuts down on the usual hassle — less guesswork, faster responses.
Who Sees Your Data and When
We get it, you want to know who’s looking at your info. Here’s a clear breakdown:
Employer Connections
When you apply for a job, we share your resume, cover letter, and answers with that employer. But we don’t hand over your personal contact details until you explicitly agree to move forward with interviews. So your privacy stays protected until you say yes.
Service Providers and Integrations
We rely on trusted third parties to keep the platform running smoothly:
- Cloud storage providers secure your data in encrypted servers.
- Email services handle notifications.
- Video conferencing tools enable interview sessions.
- Background check services operate only with your consent.
Each partner follows strict data protection agreements — they only get what they need to do their job.
Legal Requirements
Sometimes we’re required by law to share info—think court orders or subpoenas. We’ll notify you unless legally prohibited, because transparency matters.
| Recipient | Data Shared | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Employers | Application materials | After candidate applies |
| Third-party Providers | Minimal necessary data | Strict confidentiality |
| Legal Authorities | Required by law | With notification when allowed |
Your Rights: Control Over Your Data
Honestly, you should be in the driver’s seat when it comes to your information. Here’s what you can do on our platform:

How We Keep Your Data Safe and Sound

Encryption and Secure Storage
All your data moves through TLS-encrypted channels, and everything stored on our servers is encrypted at rest. Your passwords? Hashed with solid algorithms so even we can’t see them.
Access Controls and Monitoring
Only authorized staff can access your data, and even then, only what they need to do their job. Plus, we log all access events to keep things transparent and accountable.
Regular Security Audits
We run quarterly internal reviews and hire external experts annually for penetration tests. If any vulnerabilities pop up, we fix them fast — usually within a day or two.
