Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to SavvSkout ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.

4. AI & Automated Processing

SavvSkout uses AI agents to scout jobs, generate cover letters, and submit applications on your behalf. You remain in control at all times — you can enable manual review mode, pause AI activity, or use the kill switch in your settings. All AI actions are logged and visible in your Activity Log.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with trusted third-party services necessary to operate the platform (e.g., Stripe for payments, Google for authentication). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time via the Settings page.

If you are in the EU/EEA, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of all personal data we hold about you

• Erasure — request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten") via Settings → Delete Account

• Restriction — object to or restrict processing of your data
• Withdraw Consent — withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing
• Lodge a Complaint — with your local EU Data Protection Authority

All GDPR requests are processed within 30 days. Submit requests via the Contact page or through Settings.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies and local storage to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

9. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
