US State Privacy Notice

This notice adds to our Privacy Policy for residents of California and other US states with comprehensive privacy laws, such as Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas and Oregon. It explains what those laws ask us to tell you, and how to use your rights. Where this notice and the Privacy Policy differ, this notice applies to residents of those states.

In the past 12 months we have collected these categories of personal information:

• Identifiers: name, email address, phone number, account ID, and online identifiers such as a random analytics ID.
• Customer records: postal location, billing records and payment status.
• Professional and employment information: your resume, work history, target roles, salary expectations, and the applications we prepare and submit.
• Education information: degrees, schools and certifications you give us.
• Commercial information: the plan you bought and your payment history.
• Internet activity: pages you visit on our site and how you arrived, only with your consent beyond what is essential.
• Inferences: how well open jobs match your preferences, which we use only to choose roles for you.
• Sensitive personal information: your work authorization and visa sponsorship needs, which can reveal immigration status, and your account sign-in details.

We collect this from you, from your use of our site and dashboard, from employers and job platforms through your job-search mailbox, and from our payment providers.

We use these categories for the purposes in section 3 of the Privacy Policy: providing the service, communicating with you, billing, security and fraud prevention, legal obligations, and, only with your consent, analytics and advertising measurement.

We use sensitive personal information only to provide the service you asked for, such as not applying to roles you aren't authorized to work in, and to keep your account secure. We don't use it to infer anything else about you, so the law's right to limit its use doesn't apply.

We do not sell personal information for money, and we have never done so.

If you accept advertising cookies, advertising platforms such as Google and Meta receive information about your visit, and Meta is told when you subscribe (with your email address turned into an unreadable code first). Some state laws call this “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, or targeted advertising. It only ever happens if you accept advertising cookies.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16, and the service is for adults only.

Open “Cookie settings” in the footer of any page and turn off Advertising measurement. Nothing is shared for advertising from then on. Because the choice is stored in your browser, make it on each browser you use.

In the past 12 months we have disclosed the categories above to service providers who help us run the service, listed on the Service Providers page, and application information to the employers and job platforms you authorized us to apply to. Each receives only what it needs for its task.

Depending on your state, you have the right to:

• know what personal information we've collected about you, where it came from, why we use it and who receives it;
• get a copy of it in a portable format;
• have it corrected or deleted;
• opt out of sharing for targeted advertising;
• not be treated differently, for example in price or service, for using these rights.

Clients can download their data and request deletion from Settings in the dashboard. Anyone can email privacy@appollan.com. We'll confirm your identity by asking you to reply from the email address we hold, and respond within 45 days. If you use an authorized agent, we'll ask for your signed permission and may ask you to confirm your identity directly.

If we decline your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision or emailing privacy@appollan.com with “Appeal” in the subject. We'll respond within 45 days and explain our decision. If you're still unhappy, you can contact your state attorney general.

How long we keep each kind of information is listed in section 8 of the Privacy Policy.
