What happens to my data?

This page is about two things: this site and the app. The app keeps everything on your Mac. No account, no telemetry. This site loads analytics only after you accept them.

What does this site collect?

This site can use Google Analytics, to count visits to its pages. It asks first, in a banner. Accept and Decline weigh the same.

  • Before you choose, the site sends nothing to Google.
  • Only Accept loads Google Analytics, from Google. All the advertising signals stay off.
  • Decline loads nothing.
  • Your browser stores the choice. This site sets no cookie of its own.
  • To change your choice, choose “Analytics settings” at the bottom of a page. The banner then asks again.

If you see no banner, this site loads no analytics. If you choose a light or dark theme, your browser stores that choice too.

Is the app the same as this site?

No. The app has no analytics at all. The rules above are for this site only.

What does the app send?

The app reads public lists. Each request is a plain download, with no identifier for you, no device id and no usage data. It contacts:

  • The job boards that you keep on.
  • The career pages of the companies that you add, at most every 6 hours.
  • The European Central Bank, once a day, for exchange rates.
  • GitHub, when the app starts and then at most once a day, to check for a new version.

The search words are fixed (php, laravel). Your keywords never leave your Mac. There is no telemetry and no crash reporting.

What does the app store?

Everything stays on your Mac:

  • Jobs, for 30 days. Saved and applied jobs stay until you remove them.
  • Your settings and the companies that you add.
  • Exchange rates, and a log file with warnings and errors.

To see the files, open Settings, Privacy, and choose “Show data folder in Finder”.

Where is the full policy?

The privacy policy of the app is PRIVACY.md (opens in a new tab) in sudo-hire. It says what each request sends, what the app stores and how to remove it.
