Written in plain language, and kept accurate to what the product actually does — not what we hope to add someday.
Today, the only personal information Everytry collects is the email address and password you sign up with — we don't ask for your name, date of birth, or any other identifying detail, because we don't have an identity feature that uses them yet. Your application records (what you applied to, when, and the outcome) are keyed to your account, not to a name.
We've already built (and tested) the encryption system that will protect identity information client-side — encrypted on your own device before it ever reaches our servers, with us never holding the key to decrypt it — for when identity-based features launch. This page will be updated to describe exactly what's collected and how before that happens, not after.
Only you. Our database is built so that each person's records are technically isolated from every other person's — this isn't just a policy promise, it's enforced by the database itself (a security feature called row-level security). If you work with a legal aid clinic or organization that has arranged shared access with you specifically, they may see the records you've agreed to share with them — never anything beyond that, and never without your knowledge.
When you forward an email from certain job-application platforms (like USAJOBS or LinkedIn) that route mail on behalf of many different employers, we use a third-party AI service (Anthropic's Claude, via its API) to identify the actual hiring organization's name from the email's text — for example, telling "Centers for Disease Control" apart from the platform that sent the email on its behalf.
This AI process only ever labels which employer sent an email. It does not decide anything about you, your eligibility for any program, or your application's outcome — those decisions are always made by the actual employer, agency, or program administrator, never by Everytry or by this AI process.
Per Anthropic's current commercial terms, by default they do not use inputs or outputs from their API — including the email text we send for this purpose — to train their models, and we don't opt into anything that would change that.
If the AI extraction fails or is uncertain, we never guess — the record will honestly show the platform's name (for example, "via USAJOBS") instead of a fabricated employer name.
We don't currently use your personal data to rank, score, or evaluate you. If that ever changes — for example, an opt-in program connecting people with real, documented hardship to organizations that want to help — it would be a separate, clearly disclosed choice you'd make yourself, never something applied to your account without your knowledge or consent.
If enough people (a minimum group size, never an individual) share similar experiences with an employer or industry, we may eventually publish anonymized, aggregate findings — for example, patterns in hiring responsiveness. No individual's data is ever identifiable in this kind of report, and it is never sold — only published as research or shared as evidence in the public interest.
You can request deletion of your account and data at any time using the "Delete my account" option in the app. It permanently removes your account, your forwarding address, and every application in your record — this cannot be undone, and takes effect immediately, not on a delay.
If what we do with your data changes, this page will be updated first, and we'll tell you directly — not bury it in a footnote.
