1. Who we are

GetPromoted ("we", "us", "our") provides an online tool that helps software engineers build promotion packets. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use getpromoted.app (the "Service").

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly:

Setup details: your first name, role, company, current level, target level, and promotion timeframe.
Interview responses: the answers you give during the guided interview.
Uploaded documents: files you choose to upload (performance reviews, chat exports, emails, calendar data). These are processed in your browser and only the extracted text is sent to our servers.
Payment information: if you purchase a packet, payment is processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.

We also collect standard technical data such as browser type, device information, and usage patterns to keep the service running smoothly.

3. How we use your information

To conduct your interview and generate your promotion packet
To process payments via Stripe
To improve the quality of the service
To respond to support requests

4. Third-party services

We use the following third-party services to operate:

Anthropic (Claude): processes your interview responses to generate your packet. Your data is sent to Anthropic's API and is subject to their privacy policy.
Stripe: handles payment processing. Subject to Stripe's privacy policy.
Google (optional): if you choose to connect your Google account, we access Gmail, Calendar, and Chat data with read-only permissions. Tokens are encrypted and stored in HTTP-only cookies.
Microsoft Clarity: if you accept analytics cookies, we use Clarity to understand how visitors interact with the Service (e.g. clicks, scrolls, page views). Clarity may use cookies and does not collect personal data. Subject to Microsoft's privacy statement. You can opt out via the cookie consent banner.

5. Data retention

Your promotion packet is stored in your browser's local storage. We do not maintain a database of user accounts or generated packets. Interview transcripts are not stored on our servers after your packet is generated. Payment tokens expire after 7 days.

6. Security

We use encryption in transit (HTTPS) and encrypt sensitive tokens with AES-256-GCM. File uploads are processed entirely in your browser. We do not store raw uploaded files on our servers.

7. Your rights

Since we don't maintain user accounts or a database of your data, most of your information lives in your browser. You can clear your local storage at any time to remove your packet. If you connected a Google account, you can disconnect it from the evidence screen. For any data-related requests, contact us at the email below.

8. Cookies

We use a minimal number of cookies: an encrypted HTTP-only cookie for Google OAuth tokens (if you connect Google), and standard session cookies. If you accept analytics cookies via our consent banner, Microsoft Clarity may set cookies to analyse usage patterns. We do not use advertising cookies.

9. Children's privacy

The Service is not intended for anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
