Privacy, in plain English

Your career story powers the discovery.Your choices govern everything else.

This notice explains what Undersold collects, why it is used, where it goes, how long it stays, and the controls available to you.

01 / Scope and controller

Who this notice covers.

Undersold is the controller of personal information collected through the Undersold website and product, except where a provider acts as an independent controller for its own legally defined purposes. This notice applies to visitors, account holders, free users, and subscribers.

Privacy questions and rights requests can be sent to privacy@undersold.ai. We may need to verify that a requester is the person associated with an account or resume session before releasing or deleting data.

02 / Information collected

Only what the product and its safeguards need.

Account and billing

Email address, account identifiers, authentication status, subscription status, Stripe customer and subscription references, and transaction status. Stripe receives payment details directly.

Career content

Uploaded resumes, employment history, accomplishments, answers, job descriptions, messages, edits, and generated resume, LinkedIn, cover-letter, application, and interview materials.

Voice information

Microphone permission state, recordings you intentionally submit, transcripts, timing, evidence-review decisions, and limited technical metadata required to deliver voice features.

Technical and usage data

Security logs, request metadata, errors, cost and reliability records, and feature events. Only with analytics permission: limited first-party interaction, referral category, and UTM campaign data, plus Meta Pixel page-view and conversion events used to measure our advertising.

03 / Purposes and legal bases

Why information is used.

  • Provide the service and fulfill our contract: authenticate users, analyze resumes, run requested voice or text workflows, generate deliverables, save work, and manage billing.
  • Security and legitimate interests: prevent abuse, enforce limits, debug failures, protect accounts, maintain reliability, and understand aggregate operating costs.
  • Your consent: optional browser analytics and the separately controlled use of a de-identified transcript in the improvement set. Either choice can be withdrawn.
  • Legal obligations: financial records, lawful requests, dispute handling, fraud prevention, and enforcement of applicable terms.

Undersold does not make employment or hiring decisions and does not use the product to determine eligibility for employment, credit, housing, insurance, or another legally significant opportunity.

04 / Purpose separation

Stored, processed, and improved are different.

Delivering a resume discovery does not automatically grant permission to use the conversation for product improvement.

01

Service copy

We store the resume, career evidence, answers, and deliverables needed to provide your workspace. This copy is used to deliver the service and is not added to an improvement dataset unless you separately opt in.

02

AI processing copy

Before career content is sent to an AI provider, Undersold removes the candidate name, contact details, profile links, and internal account and session identifiers. Work history and other career facts needed to perform the requested discovery may still be processed.

03

Optional improvement copy

The improvement checkbox is off by default and is separate from analytics permission. If you turn it on, a de-identified copy may enter a controlled improvement set after additional identity, employer, school, location, timestamp, and lookup-key reduction.

04

Deletion and revocation

You can turn improvement permission off in your workspace. Career data is kept indefinitely rather than expiring on a timer, because the product is a durable record of your working life. Deletion is the control: you may request access, export, correction, or deletion at any time, and signed-in users can permanently delete the whole account themselves from the account page. Raw guided audio is the exception and still has a 24-hour deletion backstop.

05 / Providers and disclosures

Who helps deliver Undersold.

Supabase

Authentication, database infrastructure, and temporary guided-audio storage.

Anthropic

AI processing used to analyze and generate the career materials you request.

Google

AI processing (Gemini) used to verify and score generated materials.

ElevenLabs

Speech transcription and live or guided voice features when you choose them.

Stripe

Checkout, subscription, payment status, and billing administration. Undersold does not store full card numbers.

Vercel

Application hosting, delivery, and infrastructure-level request handling.

Resend

Operational email delivery when configured, such as administrator alerts.

Meta

Advertising measurement through the Meta Pixel, loaded only after you allow analytics. Meta receives page URLs, funnel event names, and the plan price on a purchase, never resume content or your email.

Providers receive only the information reasonably needed for their function. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect people or the service, in a corporate transaction with appropriate safeguards, or when you direct us to disclose it.

Some providers process information in the United States or other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate contractual or legal transfer safeguards. Provider locations and subprocessors can change as their infrastructure evolves.

06 / Browser storage

Cookies, local storage, and session storage.

Necessary storage is active because the requested service cannot work reliably without it. Analytics storage and client analytics events remain off unless you opt in. Global Privacy Control is honored as an analytics opt-out.

07 / Retention and security

Kept indefinitely, and deleted when you ask.

Undersold is built to hold a durable record of your working life, so career data is kept until it is deleted rather than expiring on a timer. That is a real tradeoff and we would rather state it than hide it: a record that lasts for years is more useful to you, and it also means more information exists to protect. Deletion on request now carries the weight the old timers carried, so we make it available to everyone at any time and we do not charge for it.

  • Career content is retained indefinitely: resumes, banked accomplishments, discovery sessions, transcripts, edits, and generated documents. This includes anonymous resume sessions, which are no longer deleted on a 30-day schedule.
  • First-party analytics and product events are retained indefinitely so year-over-year comparisons remain possible. Optional browser analytics are still collected only after you allow them.
  • Raw guided-audio clips are the exception. They are deleted after confirmed transcription when possible, with a 24-hour cleanup backstop, because the transcript is the artifact you keep.
  • Security and diagnostic logs, including browser content-security violation reports, are still cleared on a 30-day schedule. Those are operational noise rather than part of your record.
  • Billing, security, audit, and legal records may be retained for the period reasonably required by tax, accounting, fraud, security, or legal obligations, including after you delete other data.

How to get rid of it. If you have an account, the account page lets you export your data and permanently delete the account itself, which removes your sessions and cancels any active subscription. Anonymous resume sessions can be deleted from inside the session itself: the browser that created the session sees a delete control on the sign-up step, and using it erases the uploaded resume, your answers, recorded audio, and everything built from them. If you no longer have that browser or the link, send the session link to privacy@undersold.ai and we will delete it after verifying the request. Deletion removes the underlying records; copies can persist in backups until the backup window lapses, and the billing, security, and legal records described above are kept where law requires.

We use access controls, MFA for the operator portal, encryption in transit, provider access restrictions, rate limits, content reduction before AI processing, and deletion workflows. No system can promise absolute security, so please do not submit secrets or third-party information you are not authorized to share.

08 / Your privacy rights

Access, correct, export, delete, object, or appeal.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to know or access personal information, correct it, receive a portable copy, delete it, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, opt out of certain uses, or appeal a denied request. You may also use an authorized agent where local law permits.

Undersold does not sell personal information. The Meta Pixel, which can count as sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising under some state laws, runs only after you allow analytics, and turning analytics off or sending a Global Privacy Control signal stops it. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right. Send requests to privacy@undersold.ai. You may also complain to your local privacy or data-protection authority.

Browser analytics choices apply prospectively. Turning analytics off stops new optional client events and removes the current-tab acquisition marker; it does not automatically erase events previously collected. You can request deletion using the address above.

09 / Minors and changes

A career product for people 18 and older.

Undersold is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. This matches the eligibility rule in our Terms of Service. Contact us if you believe someone under 18 has provided information so we can investigate and delete it as appropriate.

We may update this notice as the product, providers, or law changes. Material changes will be highlighted, and a new browser analytics choice will be requested when a change makes the prior choice no longer sufficiently informed.

An honest limitation

De-identification reduces risk. It is not magic.

Highly unusual projects or career histories can sometimes be recognizable from context even after direct identifiers are removed. That is why improvement use remains optional, access is controlled, and exported improvement artifacts exclude direct identifiers and internal lookup keys.
