Privacy Policy.

These are used to build your plan. They live in your browser's session storage for this tab only, and they are cleared when you close it. If you save your plan by email, some of them are also kept by us, as described under "Saved plans and weekly emails".

• Your résumé. The PDF, Word or text file you add, and the text read from it. Your browser reads it with code served from pathcast.ai. You can update it, edit it or remove it at any step.
• Your role and the tasks you keep or remove.
• Where you are right now: stable job, at risk, looking, or in school.
• Your view of the future: the three settings for how fast AI moves.
• Your plan.

Unless you save your plan by email, we have no copy of any of this. We can't see it, look it up, or recover it for you.

Two more things stay on your device. The sessions you tick off are kept in your browser's local storage. The calendar file is made in your browser and saved straight to your device. A plan link holds your role and answers inside the link itself, and we don't store it.

1. Usage analytics, if you allow it

What: We use PostHog and Google Analytics to see how the site is used: which pages load, which buttons get pressed, and rough device and browser type. Inside the plan builder we record only a few named steps:

• which step you reached
• which of our roles you picked, and which situation
• whether you added a résumé, its file type (such as PDF), and whether we matched a role from it
• that you saved your plan as a PDF, added it to your calendar, copied a plan link, ticked a session, or asked for weekly emails
• a job title you type into "Your role isn't here yet?", so we know which roles to write next

Why: So we can see where the site is confusing and fix it.

What analytics never includes: your résumé or anything read from it, your file's name, your email address, the tasks you remove, or your plan. Automatic click tracking and any session recording are switched off inside the plan builder.

Your choice: If you are in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, analytics stays off unless you say yes. Everywhere else it is on, and your browser's tracking protection or a content blocker will turn it off.

2. Email you send us

If you write to [email protected], we receive your email address and your message. We use them to reply, and we delete them when you ask.

3. Reviews you choose to send

If you leave a review, we receive your star rating, what you write, a first name if you give one, and the role your plan was for. See "Reviews" below.

4. Your saved plan, if you ask for weekly emails

If you enter your email on your plan page, we receive your email address and your plan's settings. See "Saved plans and weekly emails" below.

5. Job titles our search couldn't place

If you type a job title and we have no role for it, your browser sends us just those words, like "nail technician". It also sends them if you tap "Add it to our list". We count how often each title comes up, so we know which roles to write next. Nothing else goes with it: no IP address, no cookie and nothing about who typed it. We skip anything that looks like an email address, a link or a long number.

6. Standard web traffic

Like every website, your browser sends your IP address and browser details when it loads a page. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, handles these requests. We keep no server logs.

• No passwords. If you save your plan, the link we email you is how you sign in.
• No résumé, ever, even when you save your plan.
• No payment details. Pathcast is free for everyone.
• No LinkedIn URL, login or connection.
• Nothing from your contacts, calendar or other apps.
• No tracking across other websites, and no advertising cookies.

No. No AI model reads your résumé. Your browser matches it against our research using plain rules, on your device.

The role analyses behind Pathcast were researched and written by hand. Nothing you do on the site feeds back into them.

We work with a few companies that help run the site. Each receives only what is listed here. We have no data brokers, partners or advertisers.

None of them receives your résumé, because we never have it. Only Cloudflare and Resend receive anything about a saved plan, and only to store it and send your emails.

If the law requires it, such as a valid court order, we would share what we hold. That is limited to analytics events, reviews, saved plans and email. We will tell you unless the law forbids it.

If Pathcast is acquired or closes, the little we hold could pass to the new owner, bound by this policy.

Saving your plan is up to you. Nothing is sent until you enter your email and press Send me my plan.

What we keep: your email address; your plan's settings, which are your role, where you are right now, your pace settings and the tasks you removed; the sessions you tick off; your weekly check-ins (did all, some or none); whether you slowed the plan down; the line you write about why it matters to you, if you write one; and the dates you signed up, opened your link and stopped emails, if you did. We never keep your résumé or anything read from it.

Your coach is a set of plain rules, not an AI model. It reads your check-ins and your ticks to choose what the weekly email and your plan page say next.

What we send: first, an email from [email protected] with a link to your plan. If you don't open it, you won't hear from us again, and the sign-up is deleted after 7 days. Once you open it, we send one email a week with that week's sessions, for thirteen weeks, then one last note. In the first two weeks we also send two short notes: one on day three asking how week one is going, and one on day ten with a link you can pass on to a friend. About 90 days after the thirteen weeks end, we send one short check-in. We send nothing else to this address.

Your link: the link signs you in on any device. Anyone with the link can see your plan and your ticks, so treat it like a key. Signing out on a device removes it from that browser.

Stopping and deleting: every email has a link to stop them. On your plan page you can stop emails, turn them back on, or delete your saved plan for good.

To stop spam, we keep a scrambled code made from your internet address for two days, the same way we do for reviews.

Accountability partners

If you add a partner, we keep your first name and their email address, and send them one invitation. Nothing more goes to them unless they press yes.

Once they say yes, they get one short note a week for the rest of your plan. It says which week you're on, how many sessions you ticked last week, and your check-in. It never includes your plan, your reason, or your résumé. Their replies go to your email address, so they will see it.

A partner can stop the notes from any note, and we then forget their address. If they say no, we forget it straight away. If they never answer, we send nothing else, and their address is deleted with your saved plan. You can remove your partner from your plan page at any time.

Only add someone who would expect to hear from you this way.

You can leave a review of Pathcast. It is up to you, and nothing is sent until you press Send.

A review holds your star rating, what you write, the first name you give us (if any), and the role your plan was for. We read it before deciding to post it on the site. Posted reviews are public.

To stop spam, we also keep a scrambled code made from your internet address. It changes every day, cannot be turned back into the address, and is removed after two days.

Reviews are stored with Cloudflare. To have yours taken down or deleted, email [email protected].

To clear everything on your device, close the tab or press "Start over". To remove only your résumé, press "Remove" next to it.

To delete a saved plan, open your plan link and press "Delete my saved plan", or email us.

To delete a review, analytics or email we hold, write to [email protected]. Analytics uses a random ID, so tell us roughly when you visited and we will do our best to find it.

The site is served over HTTPS. The safest data is data we never hold, so the plan builder is designed to keep your information on your device. For what we do hold, access is limited to the people who build Pathcast.

If something ever goes wrong that affects you, we will tell you as fast as we can and within the time the law requires.

Wherever you live, you can ask us to show you, correct, or delete what we hold about you, and we will. Writing to [email protected] is enough.

If you are in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom (GDPR)

You have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict, port and object to the processing of your data, to withdraw consent at any time, and to complain to your local data-protection authority.

Our legal basis: your consent for analytics and for weekly emails, and our legitimate interest in answering email you send us and keeping the site secure.

Data transfers: Pathcast runs in the United States. The companies listed above may process data there. We rely on their Standard Contractual Clauses.

EU/UK representative: Pathcast is offered in the United States. We have not appointed a representative in the EU or UK.

If you are in California (CCPA / CPRA)

You have the right to know what we collect (this page), to delete it, to correct it, and to equal treatment for using these rights. We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising, and we have not done so in the past twelve months. You can use an authorized agent; we will ask for proof that you gave them permission.

Other US states

Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and several other states have similar laws. The same rights apply, and the same email address works.

Pathcast is for people in or entering the workforce, aged 16 and over. If you think a child under 16 has sent us information, email us and we will delete it.

• Session storage holds your résumé, answers and plan for this tab. It is cleared when you close the tab.
• Local storage holds the sessions you tick off and, if you saved your plan, your sign-in link on that device. It stays until you sign out or clear the site's data.
• Your analytics choice is remembered in your browser so we don't ask twice.
• PostHog and Google Analytics each set a cookie so they can tell a returning visitor from a new one. If you say no, neither is set.

We do not use advertising cookies.

We will update this page when the site changes or the law does, change the effective date, and add a line to the log below.

If we ever add something new that sends your information to us, we will update this page first, and you will choose whether to use it. We will never start sending your résumé to us.

Questions, requests, or complaints about privacy:

Email: [email protected] Post: We handle every privacy request by email, so please write to the address above. Data Protection Officer: We are not required to appoint one and have not. Privacy questions go to the email above.

We aim to reply within 5 business days and to complete requests within 30 days.
