Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

lin-cruiter (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a recruiting platform that helps recruiters find, evaluate, and contact candidates using AI-powered tools. This policy describes how we handle personal data when you use our service at lin-cruiter.com.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you sign up, we collect your email address and name via Google SSO or magic-link authentication. We do not collect or store passwords.

Candidate Data

When you run a search (“hunt”), we retrieve publicly available LinkedIn profile data through our data provider (Unipile). This includes names, job titles, experience history, skills, education, and company information. This data is used solely to score and rank candidates against your search criteria.

Usage Data

We collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) and in-app activity (hunts created, candidates viewed, messages sent) to operate and improve the service.

Messaging Data

If you use our outreach features (LinkedIn messages, WhatsApp, email), message content and delivery status are processed through Unipile and stored to track campaign performance.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and operate the recruiting platform
• To score and rank candidates using AI (OpenAI GPT-4o)
• To send outreach messages on your behalf via LinkedIn, WhatsApp, or email
• To process payments and manage subscriptions (via LemonSqueezy)
• To send transactional emails (magic links, receipts)
• To improve our AI scoring algorithms and service quality

4. AI Processing

Candidate profiles are sent to OpenAI’s API for scoring. We use GPT-4o and GPT-4o-mini to evaluate candidates against your criteria. OpenAI processes this data under their API data usage policy and does not use API inputs to train their models.

5. Data Sharing

We share personal data only with:

• Unipile — LinkedIn/WhatsApp/email integration provider
• OpenAI — AI scoring and evaluation
• LemonSqueezy — payment processing
• Google — authentication (SSO)

We do not sell your data to third parties. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

6. Data Retention

Account data is retained while your account is active. Hunt results and candidate scores are retained for as long as you maintain an account. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure session management, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

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
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Data portability

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@lin-cruiter.com.

9. Cookies

We use a session cookie (ss_session) to keep you logged in. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising pixels.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or an in-app notice. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
