Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 5, 2026

We do not sell resume data or personal information.

Seeker is a career matching platform operated by Danylchuk Studios LLC. It provides decision-support intelligence, designed to improve career targeting, not predict hiring outcomes. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

What We Do Not Collect

  • No resume text in analytics. Resume content is never sent to third-party analytics providers.
  • No selling data. We do not sell, broker, or trade personal information or resume data.
  • No AI training on your resume. We do not train generalized AI models on your resume data.
  • Autocapture is off. Analytics events are explicitly declared. We do not silently record clicks or keystrokes.
  • Session replay is off by default. If enabled, it is gated behind an environment flag and disabled entirely on administrative routes.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Resumes: PDF or Word files (or images of a resume) you upload for analysis. Resume content is processed to generate career matching. It is never sold and never sent to analytics or advertising providers. If you use an AI writing feature (tailored resume, cover letter, interview brief, or skill report), the resume details that feature needs are sent to OpenAI to generate it; see Third-Party Services below.
  • Market targeting preferences: Target markets and remote work preferences you select during upload. Used to calibrate analysis against relevant labor markets.
  • Skill and domain verifications: When you use the verification flow, you may confirm or correct extracted skills, domains, industries, and location data. This data refines your analysis and is forwarded to our processing infrastructure.
  • Accuracy ratings: Optional 1–5 ratings you submit to indicate how well results matched your expectations.
  • Match feedback: Thumbs up/down signals on individual role matches, used to improve matching quality.
  • General feedback: Bug reports, feature requests, accuracy reports, and written comments you voluntarily submit through the feedback form.
  • Email: If you create an account or sign in, we store your email address to run your account. You can also include it in a feedback form, or give it to get a one-time reminder about a job you opened (we email you once, the next day, to ask whether you applied). An account is optional: you can analyze a resume without one.

Automatically Collected

  • Device metadata (browser type, operating system, viewport dimensions)
  • Usage analytics (pages visited, features used, time on page)
  • Interaction signals (feedback submissions, scroll depth, session duration)
  • Telemetry metadata attached to feedback submissions (page URL, viewport size, user agent, timestamp)
  • IP address: used for rate limiting and abuse prevention. Not stored long-term or associated with resume content.

Automatically collected data is used for product improvement, abuse prevention, and system reliability. It does not include resume content or personally identifying information beyond what is listed above.

We do not sell personal data. Ever.

Cookies and Local Storage

Seeker uses a minimal set of cookies and browser storage. The Reddit Ads pixel is used for advertising conversion tracking, and it — along with Google Analytics and Ahrefs Web Analytics below — only activates after you accept analytics cookies in the cookie banner. If you decline or never respond, none of them load.

  • Sign-in cookies: Set when you create an account or sign in, to keep you signed in. Not set if you use Seeker without an account.
  • Analytics cookies: Set by PostHog for usage analytics. If you are signed in, these events are linked to your account, including your email address. No resume content is included.
  • Advertising and analytics cookies (consent-gated): Set by the Reddit Ads pixel, Google Analytics, and Ahrefs Web Analytics, described in Third-Party Services below. These only load after you accept cookies.
  • Local storage: Used to remember your feedback state, rating submissions, and cached analysis results within your browser session. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings.

How We Use Data

We use the information we collect to:

  • Generate career matching and positioning analysis
  • Improve signal extraction and matching accuracy
  • Prevent abuse and enforce rate limits
  • Maintain system reliability and detect issues
  • Understand aggregate usage patterns to improve the product

The one exception is advertising conversion tracking: if you accept analytics cookies, the Reddit Ads pixel reports that a page visit, signup, or resume upload happened so we can measure whether a Reddit ad drove it. We do not use your data for third-party marketing, lead generation, or retargeting beyond that.

AI and Automated Processing

Your resume is processed by automated systems to extract structured career data, compare against live job market listings, and generate positioning analysis. This processing is core to the service and occurs every time you upload a resume.

A cryptographic hash of your file is computed in your browser for deduplication purposes. This hash cannot be used to reconstruct your resume.

We do not train generalized AI models on your resume data.

Automated outputs are analytical estimates, decision-support intelligence, not deterministic predictions. They do not constitute decisions about your employment, creditworthiness, or eligibility for any program or service.

Data Retention

Raw resume files are deleted after processing; uploads that are never processed are removed by a cleanup job. The text extracted from your resume is held for up to 24 hours so an analysis can finish or be recovered, then deleted. We retain a career summary derived from your resume: job titles, employers, dates and skills, without your name, contact information or bullet text. Because that combination can still describe a person, we do not call it anonymous. It supports analysis delivery, saved results, matching quality and accuracy calibration, and it is currently kept after your account is deleted.

For signed-in users, Seeker retains the full text extracted from your resume, together with a structured snapshot (name and contact details, role titles with bullet points, projects, and listed achievements), for up to 90 days, then deletes it automatically. It is deleted sooner if you delete your account. It exists so saved analyses and application-generation tools keep working on results you keep, and it may be used to test improvements to our resume parser. We do not store the original resume file, and we do not use your resume to train models.

Analysis results are kept so you can return to them. The career summary described above is kept indefinitely. Tailored resumes you generate are saved to your account until you delete them or delete your account. Feedback and verification data may be retained to improve system accuracy.

Deleting your account removes the extracted resume text and structured snapshot, saved tailored resumes, and your authentication identity. Account deletion is handled by email (support@seekerscore.com) within 48 hours. You may also request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

Security

We implement industry-standard safeguards to protect your data, including:

  • Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS everywhere)
  • Controlled access to production systems
  • Server-side processing: your resume never touches the browser after upload
  • No secrets or API keys exposed to client bundles
  • Rate limiting on upload and feedback endpoints

For detailed information on our security practices, see our Security page.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request access to the data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Withdraw from analytics collection by disabling JavaScript or using browser privacy tools

To exercise these rights, contact support@seekerscore.com. We will respond within 30 days.

California Residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have additional rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know what data is collected, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information.

We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights under CCPA, contact support@seekerscore.com.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • PostHog: product analytics. Processes usage data on our behalf. For signed-in users, analytics are linked to your account (user ID and email). Does not receive resume content. Autocapture is disabled.
  • Reddit Ads Pixel: advertising conversion tracking. Reports page visits, signups, and resume uploads back to Reddit so we can measure whether a Reddit ad led to them. Only loads after you accept analytics cookies; does not receive resume content.
  • Google Analytics (GA4 / Google Tag Manager): usage analytics. Reports pageviews and site interactions. Only loads after you accept analytics cookies; does not receive resume content.
  • Ahrefs Web Analytics: acquisition and search-visibility analytics — how visitors find the site. Only loads after you accept analytics cookies; does not receive resume content.
  • OpenAI: generates the documents you request with AI writing features. Only when you use one of them, we send the details it needs: for a tailored resume, your parsed work history (titles, employers, bullet points), education, certifications and skills; for a cover letter, interview brief or skill report, your skills, skill gaps, recent job titles, seniority and the target role and company. Analysis and matching do not use OpenAI.
  • Vercel: hosting and deployment infrastructure for the frontend application, and temporary storage (Vercel Blob) of uploaded resume files until they are processed and deleted.
  • Fly.io: backend processing infrastructure for career matching pipeline.
  • Resend: transactional email. Receives your email address and, for results emails, the titles and companies of your top matches. Does not receive resume text.
  • Stripe: payment processing for Pro. Receives billing details. Does not receive resume content.

These services process data on our behalf under their own privacy policies. They are processors, not owners, of your data. Resume content is processed by our own infrastructure on Fly.io, and by OpenAI only when you use an AI writing feature. Vercel stores uploaded resume files temporarily until they are processed and deleted. Resume content is not shared with PostHog, Reddit, Google, or Ahrefs.

Children

This platform is not intended for use by individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we become aware that data has been collected from a minor, we will delete it promptly.

Policy Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted. Continued use of the platform after updates constitutes acceptance. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Governing Law

This policy is governed by the laws of the State of California. For questions, contact support@seekerscore.com.
