Introduction
Handoff ("we", "us", "our", or "Company") operates the https://handoff.one website and related services (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
Data Collection
We collect information you provide directly, including:
- Account registration information (name, email, password)
- Profile information (work authorization status, target roles, locations)
- Job applications and related data
- Resume documents and career memory vault entries
- Communication preferences (WhatsApp opt-ins, notification settings)
- When you connect your LinkedIn account, we receive your name, email address, profile picture, and LinkedIn member identifier via LinkedIn’s “Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect” product. We request only the
openid, profile, and email scopes. - When you connect your Gmail account, we receive your email address and profile information from Google, along with limited access to your Gmail messages via the
gmail.readonly and gmail.send scopes. We use this access only to detect recruiter outreach and to send replies that you explicitly authorize. We do not read, store, or transmit your Gmail content for any other purpose, and we do not use it to train AI or machine learning models.
How We Use Your Data
We use the collected data for various purposes:
- To provide and maintain our Service
- To process and track your job applications
- To provide AI-powered career insights and recommendations
- To send you notifications and updates (with your consent)
- To analyze usage patterns and improve our Service
- To comply with legal obligations
Third-Party Services
We integrate with third-party services including:
- Supabase for authentication, database, and file storage services.
- LinkedIn for optional profile sign-in via “Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect.” You can disconnect LinkedIn at any time from your settings page, and you can fully revoke our access from your LinkedIn permitted services page. Our use of information received from LinkedIn APIs adheres to the LinkedIn API Terms of Use.
- Google & Gmail for optional email connector features. Handoff’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can revoke Handoff’s access at any time from your Google Account permissions page.
- Anthropic and OpenAI for AI-powered analysis of job postings and resume content. We do not send raw email bodies or LinkedIn profile data to these providers.
- WhatsApp (via Twilio) for optional notification services.
- Chrome Extension for enhanced job tracking features.
These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
Google API Limited Use Disclosure
Handoff’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically, Handoff does not use Gmail data for serving advertisements, does not allow humans to read your Gmail data unless we have your explicit consent for specific messages, and does not transfer or sell Gmail data. We use Gmail data solely to power the features you explicitly enable in your settings (recruiter detection and authorized replies).
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data (subject to legal obligations)
- Opt-out of communication emails
- Withdraw consent for data processing
