What we collect

The Hub runs on your computer. Outreach logs, Excel contacts, drafts, and AI prompts stay local unless you turn on optional features. We never store a LinkedIn password or session. See Trust.

Optional anonymous conversion counts

Off by default. First launch asks once: Help improve CareerHound? Anonymous counts only, never your data. You can change this in Settings. If you opt in we send only these events, with no resume, contacts, drafts, or email:

  • app_open
  • trial_started
  • paywall_hit(feature)
  • upgrade_click(plan)
  • activated(tier)
  • first_win

Each event may include only event, ts, tier, app_version, os, and machine_hash. Headless runs never send.

Optional cloud

  • AI providers (Claude / Ollama / Groq): profile text you send for note generation is processed by the provider you configure.
  • FastSpring checkout: payment and email are handled by FastSpring when you buy Pro. We receive a webhook event to generate your license key.
  • GitHub Releases (release updater): version check may contact GitHub if you set a token.
  • Notification webhooks: if you add Slack/Discord URLs, event summaries go there.

What we do not do

  • No cloud browser farm.
  • No LinkedIn login, cookies, or browser profile.
  • No selling your contact list.
  • No phone-home for license keys (RSA offline validation).
