The short version: Your resume and career data is processed in your browser and sent to our AI for analysis. We do not permanently store your resume or cover letters. We store your account details and subscription status to run the service. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.
Nudge ("Nudge", "we", "us", "our") is the operator of nudge.careers. You can contact us at privacy@nudge.careers. A registered mailing address is available on request — contact us at the email above.
Account data: When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and authentication information (managed securely by Clerk). We store your subscription status and plan.
Usage data: We track which features you use and how often, to enforce free tier limits and improve the product.
Payment data: Payments are processed by Stripe. We store a Stripe customer ID and subscription ID. We never see or store your card details — these are handled entirely by Stripe.
Resume and career content: When you use Nudge tools, your resume text, LinkedIn profile text, and job descriptions are sent to our AI (Anthropic Claude) for processing. This content is not stored in our database. It is processed in real time and discarded. Anthropic's privacy policy governs how they handle API data.
Application tracker: Job applications you add to the tracker are stored in our database linked to your account. You can delete these at any time.
Cookies: We use essential cookies for authentication sessions. If you consent, we may use analytics cookies to understand how the product is used. We do not use advertising cookies.
Nudge uses Anthropic's Claude AI to power resume analysis, interview coaching, and other features. When you use these features, relevant content (your resume text, job descriptions, etc.) is sent to Anthropic's API.
According to Anthropic's usage policies, API inputs and outputs are not used to train their models by default. Please review Anthropic's Privacy Policy for full details on how they handle API data.
We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising. We do not share your resume or career content with any third party except Anthropic for AI processing.

We use industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, secure environment variables for API keys, and row-level security in our database. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security but we take reasonable precautions.
Nudge operates an opt-in talent marketplace where candidates can share their assessment results with verified recruiters.
Opt-in is explicit and voluntary. You must actively check a consent box in the app to join the marketplace. Pre-ticked boxes or implied consent are not used.
What recruiters see before you connect: Your anonymised profile (initials only), target role, overall assessment tier (e.g. "Good Foundation"), and relevant keywords. Your name, email, and full resume are never visible to recruiters until you explicitly unlock your contact details for a specific recruiter.
What recruiters see after you unlock: Your full name and email address. Your resume text is never shared with any recruiter at any time.
Withdrawing consent: You can opt out of the marketplace at any time from the Application Tracker tab in the app. Your profile is removed from recruiter search results immediately. Any recruiter who had already unlocked your contact details retains only what you explicitly shared at that point.
Recruiter verification: Recruiters must create a verified account and agree to our recruiter terms of service, which prohibit using candidate data for any purpose other than legitimate recruitment. We do not sell candidate data to third parties.
Nudge is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately.
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or by a prominent notice on our website. Continued use of Nudge after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
