The short version

Scout needs your resume and your standards to find work worth your time. That is the only reason it holds them. Scout does not sell your information or use your resume to train AI models. Scout does not independently show your profile to employers or recruiters; an application you send, or explicitly enable Scout to send, shares its completed fields with that employer.

What you give Scout

Account. Your name and email address, handled by our authentication provider when you sign in. If you sign in with Google, Scout receives only your name, email address and profile picture, and uses them only to identify your account.

Your background. Resume text, LinkedIn or portfolio links, credentials, and any notes, summaries or past answers you save.

Your standards. Roles, locations, remote preference, compensation expectations, must-haves, dealbreakers, industries and companies you admire.

Connections. If you choose to upload a connections export, Scout stores those names and companies to tell you when someone you know already works somewhere it found. This is optional, and you can delete it at any time.

Support requests. If you send a support ticket, Scout receives your reply email, issue description, and any application URL, extension version, or screenshot you include. We send this information through our email provider to investigate your request and reply to you. Please remove sensitive details from screenshots before uploading them.

What Scout collects on its own

Job postings and company information from public employer career pages, public job boards and public web sources. This is information about companies, not about you.

Basic operational records: which searches ran, how many results they returned, what they cost, and whether they failed. Scout keeps these to enforce your search budget and to fix things that break.

What the Chrome extension reads

The extension checks pages you visit to recognize job listings and application forms. On relevant pages it can read the URL, job text, form labels, answer choices, and field values to show and verify autofill suggestions. It also observes application submit and confirmation actions so Scout can track applications. It does not use those signals to build an unrelated browsing or click history.

To fill forms, the extension uses your saved contact details, location, work history, education, resume, and answers. Those may include compensation expectations or optional demographic and disability answers if you choose to save them. The extension reads the Scout sign-in cookie to use your existing account session; it does not ask for or store your password.

Relevant form and application context may be sent to Scout to draft answers, maintain your application record, and operate a queue you enable. Scout uses service providers, including AI model providers, to process information needed for these features. Review every application before sending unless you have enabled an applicable automatic-send rule.

How it gets used

Your background and standards are read to write search queries, to judge whether a posting actually fits you, and to explain why. That judgment is done by AI models, which means the relevant parts of your profile are sent to model providers to be processed for your search.

Providers used by Scout are bound to process that information only to return a result and are not permitted to train on it.

Scout sends you email: digests of what it found, and messages about your account. You can turn digests off in settings. Account email is not optional while your account is open.

Who else touches it

Scout runs on third-party infrastructure and cannot work without it. The categories are: authentication, application hosting, database hosting, AI model providers, email delivery, and payment processing.

Payments are handled by a merchant of record. Card numbers and banking details go to that processor, never to Scout. Scout only ever learns that a payment succeeded and for how much.

Scout does not sell your information, and does not share it with advertisers or data brokers. Employers receive the information in applications you send or explicitly enable Scout to send.

Keeping and deleting

Scout keeps your profile for as long as your account is open, because it is what makes the searches work. Search and billing records are kept while the account is open and for as long afterwards as tax and accounting rules require.

You can delete your resume, connections and saved notes yourself in settings. Settings also has a delete button for the whole account, which removes your profile, your standards, your connections file and every job, search and message Scout ever created for you, and refunds unused paid credit. It happens immediately and cannot be undone.

If you would rather someone else do it, email admin@inirha.com from your account address and it will be removed within 30 days.

Cookies

Scout sets the cookies needed to keep you signed in. There is no advertising tracking and no third-party analytics profile built on you.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see a copy of what Scout holds about you, to correct it, to delete it, or to object to how it is processed. Email the address above and Scout will honor it. Scout will not charge you or degrade your account for asking.

Children

Scout is for people looking for work and is not intended for anyone under 16. Scout does not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects how your information is used, Scout will email account holders before it takes effect. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
