Privacy Notice

Notice at Collection

AskWaldron may collect the categories listed below when you create an account or use the service. We use them to provide job discovery, application preparation, career coaching, interview practice, account security, support, and service improvement. We retain each category only for as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes, as described under Retention.

AskWaldron does not sell these categories and does not share them for cross-context behavioral advertising. See Your Privacy Choices.

How we collect information

• Directly from you when you create an account, upload a resume, enter career facts, ask questions, or use interview practice.
• From sources you direct us to access, such as job-alert email, public job listings, and application websites.
• Automatically through essential cookies, server logs, and security systems.
• From service providers that process requests for hosting, security, AI, email connectivity, and future payment processing.

How we use information

• Provide, personalize, maintain, and secure the service.
• Find and deduplicate job opportunities and analyze job descriptions.
• Create requested resume edits, cover letters, application answers, and interview coaching.
• Track application history and preserve materials associated with an application.
• Authenticate users, prevent abuse, troubleshoot problems, and provide support.
• Measure service performance and improve features using appropriately limited data.
• Meet legal obligations and protect users, AskWaldron, and others.

AI processing

When you request an AI feature, relevant portions of your resume, career facts, job description, question, transcript, or other request content may be sent to the AI provider selected by the administrator. AskWaldron may use OpenAI services or a locally operated model. AI output can be incomplete or incorrect, and you should review it before use. More information appears in our AI Transparency Notice.

When information is disclosed

We may disclose information to vendors acting for us, such as hosting, security, AI, email, document processing, customer support, and payment providers. We may also disclose information when you direct us to, to comply with law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, or sale of assets subject to appropriate protections. AskWaldron does not automatically submit applications or send materials to employers without the user action described in the product.

Cookies and tracking

AskWaldron currently uses cookies needed for login, security, and core operation. It does not currently use third-party advertising cookies. See the Cookie Notice.

Retention

We retain account and career data while an account is active and as reasonably needed to provide requested application history. We may retain limited records longer when required for security, fraud prevention, legal obligations, dispute resolution, or financial recordkeeping. Backup copies may remain for a limited period until overwritten. When data is no longer reasonably necessary, we delete it, deidentify it, or securely isolate it from normal use. You may request deletion as described below.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and whether a law applies to AskWaldron, you may have rights to confirm processing, access information, correct inaccuracies, delete information, obtain a portable copy, opt out of sale, targeted advertising, or qualifying profiling, limit certain sensitive-information uses, withdraw consent, and appeal a denied request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable right.

Submit a request through Your Privacy Choices or use the contact instructions. We may verify your identity and authority before acting. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law.

California disclosures

The categories collected during the preceding 12 months are described in the Notice at Collection above using the categories most closely corresponding to identifiers, internet or electronic activity, professional or employment information, geolocation at an approximate level, audio information during live processing, and inferences. Sources, purposes, and disclosure recipients are described throughout this notice. AskWaldron has not sold personal information or shared it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of people under 18.

Sensitive information

Career documents can contain citizenship or immigration status, demographic details, account credentials, or other information treated as sensitive in some jurisdictions. Provide only information needed for your job search. Do not upload Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, bank information, medical records, or unrelated confidential employer information. We use sensitive information only to provide requested services, maintain security, and meet legal obligations.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed for the nature of the information. No system is completely secure. Protect your password and notify us if you suspect unauthorized account access.

Children

AskWaldron is intended for adults seeking employment and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
