Privacy Policy

No lawyer wrote this and none is needed. Here is exactly what Career Atlas keeps, what it does not, and how to make all of it go away.

Last updated 18 October 2026

Your resume file, unless you hand it over

When you upload a resume, the PDF or Word file is read in your browser. By default the file itself is never uploaded, never stored, and never seen by our servers. Close the tab and it is gone.

What we keep is the parsed profile — the handful of fields the map actually scores against. Nothing else from the document survives the parse, including the raw text.

The one exception is yours to make. On your resume settings you can attach the document so that referrers you ask can read it while they decide. Then we do store it. Only referrers you yourself approached can open it, only while that request is still live, and deleting it there deletes the file — there is no archived copy. If you never attach it, the paragraph above is the whole story.

What we store

  • Your account. Your email address and whether it is verified. A display name and picture too, if you signed in with Google or LinkedIn. If your account was created by signing in with a mobile number, before that option was removed, we also still hold that number.
  • Your parsed profile. Skills, industries, cities, years of experience and a role title. That is the whole list.
  • What you saved. Roles you saved, opened or marked as applied, so your journey tracker survives a reload.
  • Alerts, if you turn them on. The mobile number to send to, how often, your match threshold, and a log of what was sent.
  • A profile for referring people at your company, if you create one. Your name, your employer, and whether you have been verified.
  • A city waitlist entry, if you join one. One contact address and the city you asked for.
  • Small preferences. Your theme, whether fresher mode is on, and when you were last here — so “new since your last visit” can mean something.

What we never do

  • We never sell your data. Not to recruiters, not to data brokers, not to anyone, in any form, ever.
  • We never charge candidates. Every part of your search is free, and there is no tier that is not.
  • We never allow paid referrals. Referrals on Career Atlas carry no payment, payout or bounty in either direction. There is not even a field for it.
  • We never sell your ranking. No employer can pay to score higher against your resume or to appear brighter on your map.
  • We never message you unasked. Alerts are off until you switch them on, and every message carries a one-tap unsubscribe.

Delete means delete

When you delete something, the rows are removed from the database, not flagged as hidden and kept. There is no archive, no soft-delete column and no tombstone we could restore you from later.

  • Your profile: replace it any time from your resume settings, or email us to remove it outright.
  • Your alerts: turn them off in alert settings, which deletes the subscription rather than pausing it.
  • Everything: email support@careeratlas.co.in from your account address. We delete the account and every row attached to it — profile, saved roles, alerts, logs, referrer profile, waitlist entries — within seven days, and reply to confirm when it is done.

Deleting your account also ends any alerts immediately. Signing out, by contrast, deletes nothing — it just ends the session.

Who else sees any of this

The services that make the product work, and only for that. None of them receives your resume — the parsed profile stays with us, and an attached document is served to the referrers you asked and to nobody else.

  • Meta’s WhatsApp Business Platform — delivers your job alerts. It receives the mobile number you gave us for alerts, and the message itself.
  • Resend — delivers one-time codes and referrer verification by email. It receives the address you are signing in with.
  • Google Maps and Places — draws the map and resolves office locations.
  • Google or LinkedIn — only if you chose to sign in with them.

Turning alerts off stops the first of these immediately, and deleting your account ends all of them.

If you post a job, your first name is shown publicly on it — to everyone, signed in or not — as “Posted by”. Nothing else about you is: not your surname, email or phone. If you verified your work email, the job also says you are verified at that company. Deleting your account takes your jobs off the board.
