Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Hirelume ("Hirelume," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, web app, and Chrome extension (the "Service"). Hirelume is a tool for recruiters and HR teams. It also explains how we handle information about the LinkedIn profiles our users choose to score and bookmark.

1. Who we are

Hirelume is operated by HireLume, . For any privacy question, contact us at contact@hirelume.io.

2. Information we collect

Account information (Hirelume users): your name, email address, organization name, and authentication data handled through our login provider.
Jobs: the job descriptions you add: title, description, and optionally location, seniority, and employment type.
LinkedIn profile snapshots: when you ask the extension to score a LinkedIn profile you are viewing, it reads that one page and sends us the profile's URL, name, headline, location, experience, skills, and education, and the language your LinkedIn interface is set to (so the dates and labels LinkedIn shows can be read correctly). The extension does not read profiles you have not asked it to score, does not crawl or bulk-collect profiles, and does not run in the background.
Scores, bookmarks, and notes: the score and explanation generated for a profile against one of your jobs, the profiles you bookmark, and any private notes you add.
Preferences: your selected language and light/dark/system theme preference, stored in your browser.
Usage information: basic technical data such as pages visited, generated automatically by hosting and analytics infrastructure, used only in aggregate to understand how the Service is used.

3. How we use information

To create and maintain your account and your organization's workspace
To score a LinkedIn profile against a job you choose, when you ask us to
To show you the profiles your organization has bookmarked, with their scores and notes
To communicate with you about your account (e.g. password resets)
To maintain the security and integrity of the Service

We do not use profile snapshots or your data to train AI models, and we do not sell personal information to anyone. Hirelume never contacts the people whose profiles you score; any outreach happens outside Hirelume, by you.

4. How information is shared

Within your organization: jobs, profile snapshots, scores, bookmarks, and notes belong to your organization's workspace and are visible to its members. They are never visible to other organizations.
Service providers (sub-processors): we use the following third parties to operate Hirelume, each of which processes limited data strictly to provide their service to us:
Supabase — hosting, database, and authentication
OpenAI — scoring a profile snapshot against a job description
Legal requirements: we may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Hirelume, our users, or others.

5. If your LinkedIn profile was scored

If a Hirelume user scored or bookmarked your public LinkedIn profile, their organization holds a snapshot of the profile information listed above, a score, and possibly a note. You can ask us at contact@hirelume.io to access or delete that information; include your LinkedIn profile URL so we can find it.

6. Data retention

We keep account and workspace information for as long as the account is active. Deleting a job deletes its scores and bookmarks. If you delete your account, we delete your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we're required to retain limited records for legal or security purposes.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you're located, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact us at contact@hirelume.io to make a request. We'll respond within a reasonable timeframe.

If you're located in the European Economic Area or UK, you have rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

8. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures — including access controls that keep each organization's data separate, and encrypted storage where supported by our infrastructure providers — to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

9. International data transfers

Because we use service providers that may process data outside your country of residence, information may be transferred to and processed in other countries, which may have different data protection laws than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

10. Cookies and local storage

We use cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your language, and browser storage to remember your theme. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

11. Children's privacy

Hirelume is a professional tool and is not intended for use by anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you directly.
