This policy covers Jobfinder, our job-search app at jobfinder.ctoteachings.com, and the Jobfinder connector your own AI assistant uses. It is separate from, and more specific than, the CTO Teachings website privacy policy, which covers our consulting business. CTO Teachings LLC is the controller of the information described here. Your use of Jobfinder is also governed by the Jobfinder Terms of Use.
Jobfinder keeps your professional profile, the job sites you want searched, the jobs your assistant finds, and the résumés it drafts for you. Jobfinder itself runs no AI model. The reading, searching, matching and writing are done by the AI assistant you connect (for example Claude or ChatGPT), which reads and writes your Jobfinder data through the connector you authorise.
Account information, from Google Sign-In. Signing in with Google is the only way to use Jobfinder today. We receive Google's identity token only — no access or refresh token and no extra permissions — and from it we store your email address, your Google account identifier, your display name and the URL of your Google profile picture. We do not copy the picture itself. We also record which version of the Terms of Use you accepted and when, and any roles on your account.
Your job-search profile. Against your account we store what you and your assistant save in Jobfinder:
Résumé PDFs. When a résumé draft is saved, our server prints it to a PDF and stores it in a private Google Cloud Storage bucket that is not publicly readable. Only you, signed in, can download it.
Job sites and problem reports. Jobfinder keeps a shared catalogue of job websites. If your assistant adds a site or reports a problem with one, that entry joins the catalogue other users see; a site entry contains no information about you.
Your AI connection. When you connect an assistant, we store the authorisation that lets it use your Jobfinder account and when you connected it.
Diagnostic information. When something fails in the website, it reports the error to Sentry, our error-reporting provider, including the error, the page, the app version, and your account identifier, email address and display name so we can find the problem. For a session that hits an error, Sentry's session-replay feature records a reconstruction of what was on screen, including text and anything you typed in that session. Ordinary sessions are not recorded. Our servers also keep operational logs of requests, which include your account identifier.
The connector gives the assistant you authorise access to your Jobfinder profile, preferences, experience and facts, questions, matched jobs and résumé context, so that it can do the work for you. That assistant is run by its own provider (for example Anthropic or OpenAI), not by us, and what it does with the information is governed by your agreement with that provider. Anything you show your assistant from outside Jobfinder, such as a CV file, is read by the assistant; Jobfinder receives only the facts it saves. You can remove the connector at any time in your assistant's settings, or ask us to revoke it.
Jobfinder does not access your email, contacts, calendar, files or any other data in your Google account. It does not upload files from your device, track your location, show ads, or use advertising identifiers or analytics trackers.
Your account and Jobfinder data are stored in Google Cloud Firestore in the United States, in a Google Cloud project we control, and résumé PDFs in Google Cloud Storage. Our servers run on Google Cloud Run, and the website is served by Cloudflare. Error reports go to Sentry. These providers may process information in countries other than yours; we take reasonable steps to keep it protected in line with this policy.
We use your information only to run Jobfinder for you: to sign you in, to keep your profile and results, to give your connected assistant what it needs, to print your résumés, to keep the service secure, and to find and fix problems. We do not use it for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to train AI models.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it with the service providers that make Jobfinder work — Google (sign-in, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud Run), Cloudflare (website hosting) and Sentry (error reporting) — each processing it on our instructions. Your data goes to the AI assistant you connected because you authorised it. Jobfinder sends nothing to employers or job sites. Beyond that we disclose information only where we are legally required to, where it is necessary to protect our rights or someone’s safety, or to a successor entity in a merger or reorganisation of our business.
We keep your account and Jobfinder data, including résumé PDFs, for as long as your account exists, because they are your job search. Firestore backups are kept for seven days, so deleted data leaves our backups within a week. Error reports are retained by Sentry, and server logs by Google Cloud, under their own retention schedules, on the order of weeks to months, not indefinitely.
Your assistant can remove experience entries and profile facts at any time. To delete your whole account and all of your Jobfinder data, including résumé PDFs, email [email protected] from the address you signed in with. We will delete it and confirm when it is done. You can also ask for a copy of what we hold about you, or for a correction. A site you added to the shared job-site catalogue stays in the catalogue, since it contains nothing about you.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to request a copy of your data. Email [email protected] or use our contact page and we will respond in line with applicable law. You can disconnect your AI assistant in its own settings, or sign out, at any time.
Jobfinder is for people aged 18 and over, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Sign-in and every request to our servers use encrypted connections. Résumé PDFs sit in a private bucket that only our server can read. Access to production data is limited to the people who need it. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and to limit who can reach it.
We may update this policy as Jobfinder changes. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and the change takes effect once posted on this page.
Questions about this policy, a request to exercise your rights, or a request to delete your account: email [email protected] or use our contact page. The terms that govern your use of Jobfinder are in the Jobfinder Terms of Use.
