Hyrenora

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 28, 2026

1. Introduction

Hyrenora ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service. Please read this policy carefully.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Account information

Name, email address, and authentication data provided through Clerk when you register or sign in.

Resume and career data

Resume content, work history, skills, education, and job descriptions you provide for ATS scoring and tailoring.

Public ATS preview (no account required)

If you use our free ATS preview tool on the landing page without an account, we collect your email address, the resume file you upload, and the job description you paste. This data is used to send you your ATS results. It is stored in our database and subject to the same retention and deletion rights as account data.

Ad-redirect data

If you follow an ad link that opens in an in-app browser (e.g. from Instagram) where account creation doesn't work properly, we may ask for your email to send you a link to continue in your regular browser. We store that email address and the source of the redirect for this purpose only.

Usage data

Features used, pages visited, actions taken within the app, and interaction timestamps.

Payment information

Billing plan and subscription status. Payment card details are handled entirely by Stripe and never stored by us.

Team and organisation data

If you create or join a team account, we collect your organisation name, Clerk organisation ID, team role (admin or member), and membership timestamps. This data is used to manage access control and centralised billing for your team.

Chrome Extension data

If you install the Hyrenora Chrome Extension, we collect the following additional data: (a) job posting text and metadata (job title, company, URL) captured from job board pages you visit while the extension is active; (b) LinkedIn profile text captured when you visit a LinkedIn profile page; (c) autofill telemetry including the ATS platform name, job application URL, number of fields attempted and filled, and the fill method used (this helps us improve autofill accuracy); (d) screenshots of job application form pages, which may be sent to OpenAI's Vision API when standard and AI semantic autofill methods are unable to detect form fields. Captured job and LinkedIn data is stored temporarily in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local) and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly take an action (e.g. saving a job or importing a LinkedIn profile). Your Clerk authentication token is also stored in local storage to authenticate API requests made by the extension.

AI career coach chat history and agent memory

If you use the AI Career Consultant feature, your conversation messages and session history are stored in our database to provide continuity across sessions. The consultant also maintains persistent agent memory — structured facts you share (e.g. salary expectations, target companies, relocation preferences) that are retained across sessions. This data is associated with your account and subject to the same retention and deletion rights as other account data.

Interview Simulator sessions

If you use the Interview Simulator, the generated questions, your answers, and AI-generated scores (per-axis and overall) are stored in our database linked to your account. This data is subject to the same retention and deletion rights as other account data.

Skill verification and assessment data

If you use the Verified Skills features, we process additional data depending on the method you choose: (a) GitHub verification — when you connect a GitHub username, we read your public repositories (languages, topics, and repository metadata) via the GitHub API to infer and verify skills; we do not request access to private repositories; (b) portfolio or certificate verification — the portfolio URL content or certificate text you submit is sent to OpenAI for skill extraction; (c) coding assessments — code you submit for a coding test is executed against hidden test cases on a third-party code-execution sandbox (Judge0) to grade the result. The resulting verified skills, confidence scores, evidence artifacts, and (where applicable) educator endorsements are stored in our database linked to your account, and — if you publish a public profile — may appear on your public Skills Passport. This data is subject to the same retention and deletion rights as other account data.

MCP token

If you generate an MCP token (Settings → Profile), a hashed token is stored in our database linked to your account. Token metadata (creation date, last used date) is also stored. The token grants access to your career data via the MCP server and should be treated like a password. You can revoke it at any time from Settings.

Public profile data

If you choose to share your resume via a public profile link (/p/[token]), the resume content you have selected to share becomes publicly accessible to anyone with that link. You can revoke access at any time by disabling the share link from your settings.

Technical data

IP address, browser type, device information, and error logs collected for security, rate limiting, and debugging.

Session replay

We use session replay to record anonymised interactions within the application (mouse movements, clicks, page navigation) to help us identify usability issues. Session replay does not record passwords, payment details, or resume file contents. You can opt out by disabling analytics cookies in your browser.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, maintain, and improve the Service
  • To personalize AI-generated content to your career profile
  • To process payments and manage your subscription
  • To send transactional emails (account verification, billing receipts, ATS results, re-activation reminders)
  • To send job match alerts and product update emails, where you have given consent during onboarding or via Settings. You can withdraw this consent and unsubscribe at any time.
  • To enforce rate limits and prevent abuse (IP address is used for this purpose)
  • To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity
  • To analyze aggregate usage patterns and improve product features
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your resume content to train AI models.

Anthropic processes resume, career profile, and interview data to power the AI Career Consultant, Interview Simulator scoring, and MCP coaching tools. Anthropic does not use API-submitted data to train models. See Anthropic's Privacy Policy.

OpenAI processes resume and job description text for AI content generation and vision-based autofill. OpenAI does not use API-submitted data to train models. See OpenAI's Privacy Policy.

Groq processes resume and career profile text to power the AI Career Consultant on the Free plan. We have enabled Zero Data Retention on our Groq account, so prompts and completions are not retained after the request completes and are not available to be used for model training. See Groq's Privacy Policy.

5. Chrome Extension — Specific Disclosures

The Hyrenora Chrome Extension requires host_permissions: <all_urls> to detect job postings and autofill application forms across thousands of company career portals and job boards. This permission is used exclusively to:

  • Detect job postings on pages you actively visit and offer to save them
  • Autofill job application form fields when you explicitly trigger the autofill action
  • Capture LinkedIn profile data when you visit a LinkedIn profile page

The extension does not passively collect browsing history, track pages you visit without a job posting, or transmit page content to our servers without your explicit action.

Vision-based autofill: As a last-resort fallback when other autofill methods fail, the extension may capture a screenshot of the job application form and send it to OpenAI's GPT-4o Vision API to identify form fields. Screenshots contain only the visible content of the job application page and are not stored by us after the API call completes. OpenAI does not retain or train on API-submitted data.

Local storage: Captured job details, LinkedIn profile data, and your Clerk authentication token are stored in chrome.storage.local on your device. This data is not synced to Chrome's cloud storage. Captured data expires automatically after 1 hour.

6. Account Deletion and Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may delete your account at any time by navigating to Settings → Profile → Danger Zone → Delete Account. This permanently and irreversibly removes your profile, resumes, job applications, and linked data from our systems within 30 days. We cannot recover your data after deletion.

Billing records may be retained for the legally required period (typically 7 years) even after account deletion. Ad-redirect entries are deleted upon your unsubscribe request or 12 months after collection, whichever is sooner. Aggregated, anonymised usage statistics may be retained indefinitely.

For team accounts, organisation data is retained until the team admin deletes the organisation. Individual member accounts are not deleted automatically when a team is dissolved.

To request manual deletion of your data or to exercise your right to erasure, email us at [email protected].

7. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data (right to erasure)
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Data portability (receive your data in a machine-readable format)
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time

To exercise these rights, email us at [email protected].

9. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management (via Clerk). We use analytics cookies to understand how the product is used and improve the experience. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect Service functionality.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, contact us immediately.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the Service. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
