Vektr privacy policy.

Effective November 13, 2026. This is Vektr's first full privacy policy. A law clinic will review it later, and we'll update it as Vektr changes. Every change is listed at the bottom.

The short version

• Vektr does not sell your personal information, and it shows no ads.
• Vektr never sends your information to employers or recruiters. It never applies for jobs for you.
• Vektr uses a few outside services to run (listed below). Each gets only what its job needs.
• You can download your information, or delete your account yourself, in Settings, under Your data. You can also write to email privacy@vektr.app.

Who we are

Vektr is a career tool: the app at my.vektr.app, the website vektr.app, and the Vektr browser extension. Vektr is run from the United States. "Vektr", "we" and "us" in this policy mean the people who run it (today, its founder), operating as Teddy Otero, doing business as Vektr, 13208 56th Street East, Edgewood, WA 98372, USA. Questions go to email privacy@vektr.app.

What Vektr collects, and why

Your account

• Your email address, to sign you in. You can sign in with a link sent to your email, or with a Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn account (where offered). Vektr has no passwords of its own.
• From Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn (where offered), if you sign in that way: your email address and, if the account has them, your name and profile picture, as the provider sends them. Vektr asks Microsoft only for the basic sign-in permission and your email address. Vektr does not read your Google or Microsoft mail, contacts, calendar or files, and it never posts to or reads your LinkedIn network. Sign-in is invite-only: an account that was not invited is turned away.
• Your name and nickname, if you give them, and your settings (for example the morning email, appearance and your search engine).

What you tell Vektr about yourself

• Your answers in setup and in Your career → Current chapter: the roles you're looking for, your current or most recent role, where you're headed, industries, the kind of company you want, pay, where and how you work, schedule, dealbreakers and what matters most to you.
• The setup conversation, and a note in your own words, if you write one.
• What Vektr has learned about you: short lines Vektr writes from your choices (for example the reasons you give for Not for me). You can remove any line.
• Optional answers employers often ask about: a military connection, a security clearance, and whether you need visa sponsorship. They're used only to score roles for you. Vektr never shows them to other members and never sends them to employers. Your clearance answer is applied by Vektr's own code and is never sent to the AI. Vektr never asks about disability or protected-veteran status.

Files and text you add

• Résumés, cover letters and other files. Vektr reads Word, PDF and text files on your own device, and sends their words to Vektr. In setup, a scanned PDF with no readable words is sent as a file to Vektr and to the AI so it can be read; the file itself isn't kept.
• What setup keeps. While you are in setup, Vektr holds the words of what you upload or paste (up to about 40,000 characters each) so it can ask good questions and write your profile. Once your profile is written, they are not kept.
• What you do. Files you add in What you do are used once, to update your profile, and their words aren't kept.
• Keeping a file, by choice. When you upload a résumé or cover letter, Vektr offers a box to keep the file. It starts unticked. If you tick it, the file is stored privately for you alone, never shared, and you can delete it anytime in What you do or in Settings → Your data.

The roles you bring in

You bring roles to Vektr by pasting them, with the browser extension, or by forwarding job alerts. For each role Vektr keeps the job posting, its analysis of the role for you (the score and the reasons), your choices (Interested, Not for me and why), your stages and dates (applied, interviewing and so on) and your notes.

A job posting and the facts about a company describe a public opening, not you, so Vektr keeps one copy of each and reuses it when another member brings the same role. Your analysis, choices, stages and notes are yours alone.

Emails you forward

• You get your own Scan address. Vektr keeps a list of the emails you forward: the date, the sender, the subject, the listings it found and what happened to each.
• The text of the email is removed once Vektr has scanned it. An email Vektr couldn't read keeps its text for up to 72 hours, so you can try again. If a daily limit ever holds an email back (not switched on today), it keeps its text for up to 7 days, then it's let go unscanned. Your own mailbox keeps the original.
• When Vektr scans emails in a batch, the copy of the text sent to the AI is cleared from Vektr's private list of AI work about 7 days after the work finishes (see "How long Vektr keeps things").
• An email sent to an address that isn't anyone's is not scanned, and its text is removed.

Sharing a role with another member

• When you share a role, you type the other person's email address. Vektr tells you whether that address belongs to a Vektr member, and sends the role only to members.
• Vektr keeps the role, your first name (your nickname if you set one, otherwise the first word of your name) and a scrambled code made from the address (not the address itself), to apply sharing limits.
• The person you share with sees your first name and the role. They never see your score, notes or applications, and you never see theirs.
• Sharing with people who aren't members is not switched on.

Invitations

When Vektr invites someone, it keeps their email address to send the invitation. Someone who hasn't accepted gets up to four short reminders over about a month, then nothing more. Each reminder has a link to stop them.

The Vektr community and roles Vektr finds (not switched on)

Setup and Settings let you say whether to join the Vektr community and whether Vektr should look beyond the companies you follow. Vektr records your choice, but neither feature is switched on, and nothing is shared today. We'll update this policy before either one starts. As planned, and as a promise: nothing about a member (name, profile, emails, notes, scores or applications) goes to the community, and roles Vektr finds on its own never enter it.

• The community passes on only roles you or Vektr set aside, and only the public job posting, once Vektr has seen it public on the employer's own site. Your emails, notes, scores and applications are never shared, and a role never goes back to the person who passed it on.
• Members who pass roles on see totals, such as how many members a role reached and how many marked it Interested. These are exact numbers, so in a small group they could hint at what a friend did. Totals never include names.
• To find roles for you, Vektr reads the public job lists employers publish. Nothing about you goes to those employers.

Feedback and support

• The feedback tab (while the beta runs) keeps your message, the kind of feedback and which page you were on.
• Support access. If you ask for help, you can let Vektr support see your account, read-only, for 24 hours. You turn it on yourself, and every look is logged.
• Extension support reports: see "The browser extension" below.

The sign-up form on vektr.app

• Your name, your email address and, if you choose one, what best describes you right now. Vektr uses them only to invite you, and sends one email to confirm you're on the list.
• Where you came from: the tags in the link you followed (for example from a LinkedIn post), or else only the name of the website that sent you. Never the page you came from or anything about your activity there.
• To limit sign-ups from one place, a scrambled code made from your connection's address (not the address itself), kept for one day.
• The form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to keep out bots. It works in the background and processes technical information about your browser and connection, such as your connection's address; see Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Addendum. Vektr does not use analytics cookies or third-party analytics on vektr.app; the only visit record is the sign-up source you arrive from, if you submit the form.
• Ask to be removed and you're taken off the list.

Collected automatically

• Connection addresses (IP addresses). Every visit passes through Cloudflare, Vektr's host. Vektr uses your connection's address for a moment to slow down repeated tries at signing in and using invitations; it doesn't store it.
• Error records: which part of Vektr failed and the error message, never your profile, job or email text. Kept 14 days.
• A cost record of each AI step run for your account (which feature, how much text, what it cost), so we can keep Vektr affordable.
• Browser storage, not cookies. Vektr's own code sets no cookies. Your browser stores your sign-in, your light or dark choice and which tips you've seen, in its own storage for Vektr's site.
• Fonts and code libraries. Vektr's pages load fonts from Google Fonts and code libraries from jsDelivr and cdnjs. As with any website that uses them, those services see your connection's address and browser details.
• The microphone. Where Vektr offers a microphone, your browser's own speech service turns your voice into text (in Chrome, that's Google's). Vektr receives only the text.

How Vektr uses your information

• To scan the roles and emails you bring in, score them for you and explain why.
• To write and update your profile, learn from your choices, and send the morning email if you want it.
• To run Vektr, keep it safe, fix problems and keep costs in check.
• To contact you about your account, invitations and important changes.

Vektr's scores are advice for you alone. Vektr doesn't use your information for ads, doesn't sell it, and doesn't send it to employers.

The AI that does the reading

Vektr's analysis is written by Claude, an AI from Anthropic. To do the work, Anthropic receives what each step needs: your profile and chapter settings, your setup answers and conversation, the files and text you add, job postings, the text of forwarded emails (to find the listings in them), the reasons you give for Not for me, your note, and company names for company research. Your clearance answer is never sent.

Anthropic's commercial terms (dated June 17, 2025) say it may not train its models on what Vektr sends or gets back. Anthropic says it deletes these inputs and outputs within 30 days by default, longer in some cases, such as enforcing its usage policy or when the law requires.

Outside services Vektr uses

Links in Vektr that open a search engine or an employer's site take you there; what you do there follows that site's own policy.

The browser extension

What it's for. The extension has one purpose: to scan the job posting you're looking at and show you Vektr's analysis of it for you, in your browser's side panel.

What it reads. When you open the panel, the extension scans the page you're on, on your own device, to find a job posting (its title, employer, place and description). It scans only the tab where you clicked the Vektr icon, unless you press Allow scanning pages; then, while the panel is open, it also scans each page you switch to or load. It never changes anything on any page.

What it sends to your Vektr account, and when.

• When a page looks like a job: the page address and the employer, title and place it found, to check whether you already have that role. This check doesn't store anything.
• When you press Evaluate (or paste a job yourself): the job text, the page address, title and employer, for a full analysis.
• When you choose to: Interested or Not for me and your reasons, a stage, sharing the role with a member (with the address you type), or adding a description to a listing from your forwarded emails.
• Support reports, only when you send one: the page address with personal-looking parts and search terms removed, and an outline of the page's layout, with no text from the page. On the paste screen, a box offers to send this along with your evaluation.

What it stores. Your Vektr sign-in and email address, in the extension's own storage, copied from my.vektr.app in the same browser. Sign out there and the extension signs out too.

What it doesn't do. It doesn't collect a list of the sites you visit, read other tabs, read cookies, or record what you type. It doesn't show ads or sell data.

Vektr's use of information received through the extension complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How long Vektr keeps things

• Your account, profile and career records (your roles, analyses, choices, stages and notes): as long as your account exists. Vektr is meant to keep your career history for you over the years.
• Forwarded email text, setup words and kept files: as described above.
• Error records: 14 days. The sign-up form's scrambled connection code: one day.
• The sign-up list: until you ask to be removed, including after you're invited.
• AI work copies. The copy of what Vektr sent to the AI and got back for a batch is cleared about 7 days after the work finishes, and is left out of backups. Anthropic's own retention is described above.
• Backups. Supabase keeps daily backups for about 7 days. Vektr also keeps a weekly backup copy in Cloudflare, which expires after 90 days; it leaves out email text, kept files, invitation codes and the AI work copies. Deleting something doesn't reach copies already made, so a deleted account leaves the weekly copies within 90 days.

Your choices

• Change your profile, settings and chapter anytime in the app.
• Remove lines from What Vektr has learned about you, and delete kept files, yourself.
• Turn off the morning email with one click from any morning email, or in Settings.
• Turn support access on or off in Settings.
• Sign out of the extension by signing out of my.vektr.app.
• Download my data and Delete my account are in Settings, under Your data. Download gives you a file of what Vektr holds about you. Delete removes your profile, roles, analyses, notes, emails list, files, settings and your sign-in, and Vektr emails you to confirm. Job postings and company facts stay, as they aren't about you. Cost records stay without your name. A scrambled code of your email address is kept so a deleted account can't claim a second free trial. Backups are as described above.
• Anything else you want done with your information (a correction, or a question): write to email privacy@vektr.app from your account's email address. We answer within 30 days.

These choices are for everyone, wherever you live.

Keeping it safe

Every connection to Vektr is encrypted. The database lets each member read only their own information. Vektr's Admin screens show counts, costs and dates, not your profile, notes or emails, and support sees your account only when you allow it. The people who run Vektr can reach the database directly to keep the service running and fix problems. Vektr's founder also uses AI coding assistants (Claude, from Anthropic) to help run and fix Vektr; they work from a read-only view that leaves out names, email addresses and personal text, except feedback messages and the founder's own account. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we'll tell you promptly, by email, and say what happened and what to do.

Children

Vektr is not meant for anyone under 16. If we learn that someone under 16 has an account, we'll delete it.

Changes to this policy

We'll update this policy as Vektr changes, change the date at the top, and list each change below. If a change affects how your information is used, we'll tell members in the app or by email before it takes effect.
