Your Data, Explained

Last updated: September 2026

Information We Collect

Candidates: Name, job title, skills, summary, social links, email address, and optionally phone number.

Recruiters: Work email address and optional company name, stored to enable authentication and unlock history.

Usage data: Anonymised profile view counts (hashed IP + date, never stored raw).

How We Use Your Data

To display your public profile on the leaderboard
To send you a sign-in magic link (recruiters)
To process payments via Dodo Payments
To fulfil contact unlocks — your email/phone is shared only with recruiters who pay

Data Visibility

Candidate email and phone are never included in public API responses or displayed on public pages. They are only returned to authenticated recruiters who have a confirmed paid unlock for your profile.

Payments

Payment processing is handled by Dodo Payments. We do not store card details. Payment metadata (amount, type) is stored for audit and idempotency purposes.

Data Retention

Profiles and unlock records are retained indefinitely. If you wish to have your data removed, contact us and we will delete your record within 7 business days.
