How we handle your data

A plain-language summary of what SalaryScope AI collects, why we collect it, who we share it with, and what controls you have over your information.

1. Information we collect

To generate accurate salary benchmarks and AI-powered career reports, we collect a small, focused set of data:

Identity & contact
Your verified email address and the display name on your profile. We do not collect government IDs or phone numbers.
Compensation details
Current role, city, years of experience, base salary, variable pay, and any equity or benefits you choose to enter when generating a report.
Resume content (optional)
If you upload a resume, we extract text from the PDF or DOCX to power resume intelligence features. We never publish your resume.
Usage analytics
Anonymous platform analytics — pages visited, feature usage, and error reports — used to improve the product. No third-party trackers.

2. How we use your data

Generate your reports

Your role, city, experience, and compensation inputs are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic Claude) to produce your personalised salary benchmark, hike, and switch reports.

Improve the product

Aggregated, de-identified usage signals help us prioritise features and refine accuracy. Your individual salary inputs are never combined with personally identifying details for analytics.

Account and billing

Your email and purchase history are used to send transactional receipts, downloadable invoices, and the occasional service notice. We do not send marketing emails without your opt-in.


3. How we protect it

Practical safeguards we have in place today:

  • TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit
  • Database encryption at rest via Supabase (Postgres + RLS policies)
  • Cashfree payment processing — PCI-DSS compliant; we never see or store your card details
  • Server-side service-role keys are never exposed to the browser
  • Strict Row-Level Security so each user can only read and write their own data

No system is invulnerable. We disclose verifiable controls only — we do not claim certifications we do not hold.


4. Resume & salary privacy

Compensation and resume data are the most sensitive things a career platform handles. Our defaults are conservative.

No recruiter access

SalaryScope AI is not a job board. Recruiters cannot browse profiles, search resumes, or contact users through the platform.

Not indexed publicly

Resume content and salary inputs are never published, syndicated, or made discoverable by search engines.

Anonymised for benchmarks

When your inputs contribute to aggregated market benchmarks, they are stripped of identifiers and combined with at least dozens of other entries before they appear in any output.


5. Cookies & analytics

We use a small set of first-party cookies and anonymous analytics to keep the platform secure and to improve it. No third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

8. Contact

Questions or requests regarding this policy can be sent to contact@salaryscopeai.com. We aim to acknowledge every request within 3 working days.

We may update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be announced in-app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect.
