Privacy Policy

Who we are

Bounce (careerbounce.io) helps job seekers see what applicant tracking systems read from their resume and fix it honestly. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. Questions: use the contact page.

The free scan: your resume stays on your device

The "Beat the Bots" scan runs completely in your browser. Your resume file is parsed on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. If you choose to unlock your results, we collect your name, email address, your score, and the titles of the issues found (never the resume itself), so we can email you your report and helpful follow-ups. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe.

Bounce Studio and Blaise: what paid tools process

• Studio sends the resume content you type or upload, and any job posting you provide, to our AI provider (Anthropic) to tailor your documents. We do not use your content to train AI models. Your working drafts live in your own browser storage.
• Blaise transcribes your spoken answers in your browser, then sends the text to generate questions, keep the session professional, and write your feedback report. Interview sessions are stored temporarily (about 2 hours) and then expire automatically.
• If you enable Blaise's real voice, the exact question text is converted to audio by our voice provider (ElevenLabs).

Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. We keep your email, plan, and subscription status so your purchase unlocks the product. Financing options (Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay) are provided by those companies under their own terms and privacy policies.

What we keep, and for how long

• Lead and report emails: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
• Account entitlement (email, plan, status): while your plan is active and as required for tax and accounting.
• Contact messages: up to 180 days, so we can resolve your issue.
• Interview sessions: about 2 hours, then they expire.
• Anonymous counters (like which headline converts better): contain no personal information.

What we never do

• We never sell or rent your personal information.
• We never post anything anywhere on your behalf.
• We never use your resume content to train AI models.
• We do not run third-party advertising trackers on this site.

Cookies and local storage

We do not use advertising cookies. We use your browser's local storage for practical things only: your drafts, your sign-in token, and remembering which version of our copy you saw so tests stay consistent.

Your choices and rights

• Unsubscribe from emails with one click, any time.
• Delete: ask via the contact page and we will delete your personal data, subject to records we must keep by law (like payment records).
• Access: ask and we will tell you what we hold about you.
• Depending on where you live (for example California or the EU), you may have additional rights; we honor reasonable requests from everyone regardless of location.

Children

Bounce is for job seekers and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we will update the date above and, for significant changes, note it on the site. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
