Privacy policy

Career Booster is a personal networking assistant for business school students, run by Federico Spatola. This page explains what it stores about you, why, and how to have it removed.

What we store

• From your Google account, when you sign in: your name, your email address and Google's id for your account. Nothing else: Career Booster can't see your Gmail, Calendar, Drive, contacts or password.
• What you put in your workspace: the people, firms, notes and dates you add, what you're going for in each industry, your About me, the CV you upload (and its text), how you'd like your emails to sound, and the people outreach picks for you. Only you can see them; no other user can.
• If you connect Claude: a key your own Claude uses to read and update your workspace, set up when your Claude runs the Connect command this site gives you (we keep only a fingerprint of it) and when it was last used. Your Claude, Gmail and LinkedIn sign-ins stay on your computer; Career Booster never receives them. Outreach also shares one kind of fact between students: which email address format a firm uses (for example first.last at a firm's domain) and whether it worked. It never includes who was written to.
• Two cookies: one that keeps you signed in for up to 30 days, and one that lasts only the few minutes of signing in. Neither is used for tracking or advertising.
• Anonymous usage counts: how many times each page is viewed, through Vercel Web Analytics. It uses no cookies and doesn't identify you.

Firm logos

To show each firm's logo, Career Booster's server looks it up on the firm's own website. For sites that turn automated visitors away, it asks Google's public favicon service instead. Only the firm's web address is sent, from our server; nothing about you or your list is.

Why

Only to run the service you signed up for: to know it's you, and to keep your workspace. Your data is never sold, shared for advertising, or used for anything else.

Where it's kept

The app is hosted by Vercel, and its database by Neon in Frankfurt, in the EU. Both process the data only to provide that hosting.

Bug reports

When you use Report a bug, we keep what you write, the page you were on, your browser's name and any picture you attach, with your name and email so we can reply. The team reviews them in our private code repository on GitHub. Pictures are deleted once the problem is dealt with, or after 90 days at most; reports are deleted with your account, and the copies sent to our team on GitHub are anonymised and closed at the same time.

How long, and deleting it

Your data stays until you delete your account. You can do that yourself at any time on the Settings, Account page: your account and everything in your workspace are removed straight away. Copies may remain in the database provider's short-term backups until those expire.

Your rights

You can download a copy of everything Career Booster holds about you, as one JSON file, from the Settings, Account page, and correct most of it yourself in Settings. You can also ask to see, correct, export or delete it by writing to federico.spatola03@gmail.com. If you're in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and anything significant will be shown in the app.
