Effective October 1, 2026Last updated November 5, 2026
What changed on November 5, 2026
- When Vector couldn’t read a job posting, you can have the browser extension read it in your own browser: it opens that one posting, and when you press its button there, sends Vector the posting’s address, title and text (section 2).
- The extension’s job page check can now be turned on for JobCopilot too, and a job you save from inside another site or app is saved with the link that page shows to the job’s own posting (section 2).
Each happens only when you press the button or turn the site on, and nothing is shared with anyone new, so this applies from November 5, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on November 4, 2026
- You can switch off OpenAI, Perplexity, Exa and Google Gemini one by one, and a company you switch off receives nothing new for anything Vector does for you (section 5).
It gives you more control and shares nothing new, so this applies from November 4, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on November 2, 2026
- You can connect your Google Calendar or Outlook. Vector reads only when you’re busy, and adds, changes and cancels the coaching sessions you book in Vector, with the other person invited (section 2).
It’s your choice to connect, and nothing changes for you if you don’t, so this applies from November 2, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on November 2, 2026
- If a coaching firm invited you, your account is yours and stays yours after your coaching ends. The firm controls only the records it keeps while coaching you, and can download them, delete the ones it kept for itself, and choose how long they’re kept (sections 1, 6 and 9).
- Deleting your account now also deletes your sign-in at WorkOS and your customer record at Stripe (section 9).
Nothing new is shared about you, and you keep more control, so this applies from November 2, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 31, 2026
- The 90-day limit on what we send to AI and research providers now says what stays after it: the task’s result, and a few details the finished work still shows (section 9).
Nothing new is shared about you, so this applies from October 31, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 30, 2026
- Apollo is now listed in section 8. It receives company names and domains and the job titles to look for, never who is searching.
- Deleting your account: we now say that some providers keep their own records under their own terms, such as WorkOS for sign-in, Stripe for payments and AI providers for a short period (section 9).
- Our postal address is now in section 15.
Nothing new is shared about you, so this applies from October 30, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 22, 2026
- Where Vector finds no one in your network who reaches a company, it can draft an email for you to Boardy, an independent service that makes introductions when both people agree. Vector writes it from your profile and search; you edit it and send it from your own email. Vector sends nothing to Boardy (section 2).
You choose whether to send it and Vector shares nothing itself, so this applies from October 22, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 18, 2026
- The browser extension can now check a job search page for you: on a site you turn on (LinkedIn, Indeed or HiringCafe), it reads the jobs the page has already loaded and sends Vector each one’s title, company, link, location and job id, so it can mark which ones Vector already has. It is off until you turn it on, and you can turn it off at any time in the extension (section 2).
It is off until you turn it on and nothing is shared with anyone new, so this applies from October 18, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 16, 2026
- If a coaching firm invited you, it can choose which parts of Vector you use, and while a feature is off Vector doesn’t run it for you (section 6). Your privacy settings, downloading your data and deleting your account are never part of it.
Nothing new is shared about you, so this applies from October 16, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 16, 2026
- How they operate: a pursuit now shows how the company operates, from public records, the company’s own statements, Vector’s job index and Coresignal’s company measures. Building it sends only the company’s name and website, never anything about you, and the notes beside it that compare it with what you told Vector are seen only by you and your own coach (section 4; Coresignal in section 8).
- How you like to work: intake and your strategy now ask six optional questions about how you like to work, such as the pace you prefer, and whether any is a dealbreaker. We keep your answers with your account. They are used only for those notes, never to rank, filter or hide roles, and only you and your own coach see them (section 2 and section 4).
Nothing about you is shared with anyone new, so this applies from October 16, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 16, 2026
- Pages you share: we now say that a dossier also records which parts of it were on screen and for how long, and any download (section 2).
- Pages Vector sends about itself, made for a company or firm: we record how long the page was on screen, how far down it was scrolled, how much of its video was played, whether its booking button was pressed, and whether a visit looks like an email security system checking the link rather than a person (section 11).
Nobody new receives anything and nothing changes about your own account, so this applies from October 16, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 15, 2026
- Coresignal is listed again in section 8. It receives only the company and role filters you choose when you buy organization research, as it did until October 2.
Nothing new is shared about you, so this applies from October 15, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 13, 2026
- Our public website (vectorjsos.ai) can now use HubSpot to see which pages help and which companies visit, only if you accept it in the website’s banner. What it collects, how long it is kept and how to say no are in section 2; HubSpot is listed in section 8. The Vector app itself still uses no analytics trackers.
- Vector Global Talent: if you join it and agree on its consent screen, what BPO companies see about you and when, your assessment certificate page, how your spoken assessment answers are handled, and the link you joined through (section 6).
Nothing changes for anyone who doesn’t accept website analytics, and nothing is shared about anyone in Vector Global Talent until they agree, so this applies from October 13, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 10, 2026
- Partner links: if you sign up through a link a partner of Vector’s gave you, we record which link it was, to give you the free trial it offers and to count how many people each link brought in. We don’t tell the partner who signed up (section 2).
Nobody new receives anything, so this applies from October 10, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 10, 2026
- Introduction paths: in “Who can reach…” you can name a person or an organization, and Vector looks for people who could introduce you, at most three steps away. It uses your contacts, where they’ve worked, your profile and your affiliations, and looks up what’s public about the person you named in a professional setting (where they’ve worked, schools, boards, associations, published work, conference panels, press), never LinkedIn. Each step shows its evidence and where it came from. The search and what it found are deleted after 30 days (sections 2, 3, 9 and 11).
- Your affiliations: a private list of your schools, associations, boards, clubs and other groups, used only to find people who can introduce you. Vector suggests them from your documents and keeps one only when you confirm it. A membership that could reveal your ethnicity, religion, politics, union membership, health or sexual orientation is used only if you tick “Use this to find people who can introduce me”, and you can untick it any time. The list is never used to judge your fit, in your DNA, your dossiers or anything Vector writes for you, and only you see it (sections 2 and 6).
It happens only when you search or add an affiliation, and the research providers it uses (Perplexity and Anthropic) already process parts of your search. Nobody new receives anything. So this applies from October 10, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 8, 2026
- Interview rehearsal: when you practice an interview and answer out loud, your recording is sent to our speech provider, OpenAI, to turn it into text. Vector doesn’t keep the recording. You’re told this, and asked to confirm, before your first recording, and you can type your answers instead (sections 4 and 8).
- Vector keeps the text of your rehearsal answers, what it measured (like your pace and filler words) and your scores with your account. They’re seen only by you and your own coach: never a coaching firm’s operators, a sponsoring employer or its helpers, or a headhunter. You can delete any rehearsal, and they’re deleted with your account (sections 9 and 10).
Recording is optional and happens only after you confirm. OpenAI already processes parts of your search, and nobody new receives anything. So this applies from October 8, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 6, 2026
- Introduction paths: on a paid plan, when you ask it to (you press “Look up where they’ve worked” in “Who can reach…”, which says how many contacts it will check), Vector looks up where some of your contacts have worked, from its enrichment provider (FullEnrich), and keeps that employment history to show you who could introduce you to whom: “Through Priya: worked together at Concentric Labs, 2019–21”. It never looks contacts up on its own (sections 2, 3 and 9).
- When a contact answers your Open Door and names someone they can introduce you to, Vector keeps that name and the team they mentioned, so the introduction shows on your lists. The contact can take the name back at any time, and Vector never contacts the person they named (section 2 and 11).
- Both are seen only by you and your own coach: never a coaching firm’s operators, a sponsoring employer or its helpers, or a headhunter (sections 6 and 7).
A lookup happens only when you ask for it. FullEnrich already received data for organization research; it now also receives the LinkedIn addresses of the contacts you ask Vector to look up, and nobody new receives anything. So this applies from October 6, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 5, 2026
- Documents: one page listing every file you’ve given Vector and every file it keeps for you, what is in each and what uses it, where you can open any of them and delete any of them (section 10).
- What deleting a document does: the file and the text Vector read from it are deleted from storage, and so is what was taken only from it. What you built with it, like your profile and your contacts, stays (section 9).
This gives you more control and shares nothing with anyone new. So it applies from October 5, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 4, 2026
- Your weekly plan: Vector now keeps the plan you write for each week, whether you’re working and when your search started, and, if you record them, what employers did with your applications and how you came to apply (section 2).
- An optional weekly check-in: two questions about your energy and confidence, and a lighter week you can choose at any time. Only you and your own coach can see your answers, or whether a lighter week was your choice or followed your check-ins (sections 2 and 6).
- How weekly targets are set: by fixed rules drawn from published research, not by AI. To learn what works best, Vector may test a small variation of a rule’s numbers, and looks at the results only for groups of people (section 3).
Nothing here is shared with anyone new, and the check-in is optional. So these apply from October 4, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 2, 2026
- Direct Assistance: if a former employer that sponsors your account offers it, you can choose to work with someone from its HR or Recruiting team as your helper, choose what they see, and stop at any time. Who sees what, and what is recorded, is in section 7 (also 6, 9 and 10).
This changes nothing for you unless you choose a helper, and you’re shown the same explanation, and asked, when you do. So it applies from October 2, 2026, with no notice period.
What changed on October 1, 2026
- Easy mode’s “submit for me”, the answers easy mode keeps for application forms, and the record the browser extension sends when an application goes through (section 2).
- Open Doors: what we record when you share one, and what we hold about people who answer one or ask not to be contacted (sections 2, 9 and 11).
- The cookies we set, now listed in full (section 2).
- Refer & Earn payouts, which Stripe makes (section 2).
If your account was created before October 1, 2026, the changes take effect for your account on October 31, 2026, 30 days after we told you about them in the app (section 15).
In short
- We collect what you put into your job search and what Vector finds for it, and use it to run your search. Nothing else.
- We don't sell your data, show you ads, or use advertising cookies. The Vector app uses no analytics trackers; our public website uses HubSpot analytics only if you accept it.
- AI providers process parts of your search to do the work. We don't train AI models on your data.
- Nobody else sees your search unless you connect a coach of your own, a coaching firm invited you, or you choose to work with a helper from a company that sponsors your account. You can end any of these at any time.
- Your optional weekly check-in on how you're doing is seen only by you and your own coach.
- If you join Vector Global Talent, BPO companies see your card only after you agree, and your name only when you accept one.
- You can see every document you've given Vector and delete any of them (Documents), and download everything, turn off outside research agents or any AI company except Anthropic, and delete your account in Settings.
- Questions or requests: info@vectorjsos.ai.
1.Who we are
Vector is operated by Torri Granger LLC dba Vector JSOS (“Vector”, “we”). This policy covers vectorjsos.ai, the Vector app at app.vectorjsos.ai, the Vector browser extension, and pages you share from Vector. For the personal data described here, we are the controller (the “business”, under California law). That includes your account when a coaching firm invited you: it is yours, under these terms. For the records a coaching firm keeps while it coaches you, the firm is the controller and we process them for it (see section 6).
2.What we collect
- Your account: name, email address, sign-in details (handled by WorkOS; we never see your password), timezone and settings.
- Your job search: what you give us or create in Vector: résumés and career history, your profile and strategy, target roles and companies, pay expectations, offers you record, interview notes, messages you draft, and notes you share with a coach, and, if you use easy mode, the answers you give once for application forms (such as whether you’re authorized to work, need visa sponsorship, and your salary expectation).
- Your calendar, if you connect it: a coach or a client can connect their Google Calendar or Outlook. Vector reads only when you’re busy, never the titles, notes, places or people of your events, and keeps those busy times for a few minutes at a time. It uses them to show open times and to find a time that suits you and your coach; your coach sees only that a time is taken. When a session is booked in Vector, Vector creates it on the organizer’s calendar with the other person invited, so Google or Microsoft sends the invitation, and changes or cancels it if the session changes. Vector touches no other event. We keep the access Google or Microsoft gives us, encrypted, until you disconnect or delete your account, and you can also end it from your Google or Microsoft account settings. Vector’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We don’t use calendar data for AI training or advertising, and no person at Vector reads it.
- How you like to work, if you answer it: six optional choices, one for each practice in “How they operate” (such as a steady pace or room to decide how you work), and whether any of them is a dealbreaker for you. They are used only for the notes in section 4, never to rank, filter or hide roles, and only you and your own coach see them. You can change them any time.
- Your weekly plan and progress: the plan you write for each week (the steps, the day for each, and the role, employer or person each is about), the learning goals you mark done, whether you’re working and when your search started, and, if you record them, what an employer did with each application (no reply, rejected, invited to a screen or interview, offer), how you came to apply, and whether someone referred you.
- Your weekly check-in, if you answer it: two answers from 1 to 5, about your energy and your confidence in the search, and the date. It is optional every week. Who can see it is in section 6.
- People in your search: contacts you add or import (names, titles, companies, and the emails, phone numbers and LinkedIn URLs you enter), and people Vector finds for you from public sources, or through a lookup you buy, such as the work email of a hiring manager. Each person’s contact details are kept for your account alone; another Vector user never sees what you entered.
- Where people in your search have worked: on a paid plan, the employment history (employers, titles and dates) that Vector’s enrichment provider, FullEnrich, returns for some of your contacts, and for the people at a company that an organization map you buy finds. Vector looks contacts up only when you ask it to: when you press “Look up where they’ve worked” for an organization in “Who can reach…”, which says first how many it will check. It looks up the few most likely to matter for that organization, by their LinkedIn address only, up to a monthly limit, and never your whole contact list. It keeps this history for your account alone, to show who could introduce you to whom; another Vector user never sees it.
- Introduction-path searches: when you ask “Who can reach…” to find a path to a person or an organization, the name and organization you entered (and a public page about them, if you gave one), and what Vector found: the public, professional facts about them it used (where they’ve worked, schools, boards, associations, published work, conference panels and press, each with the page it came from), the paths it found, and any introduction note you asked it to draft. Vector never reads LinkedIn for this, and keeps all of it with that search only.
- Your affiliations, if you add any: schools, alumni groups, fraternities and sororities, professional associations, boards, volunteer groups and clubs, with the years and roles you give. Vector may suggest some it finds in your documents; it keeps one only when you confirm it, and you can change or remove any of them. They are used only to find people who can introduce you: never to judge your fit for a role, in your DNA, your dossiers or anything Vector writes for you, and never shown to an employer, a recruiter, a coaching firm or anyone else. A membership that could reveal your race or ethnicity, religion, political opinions, union membership, health or sexual orientation is used only after you tick “Use this to find people who can introduce me”. We record when you ticked it, and you can untick it at any time. Vector decides which memberships need that tick by asking an AI model, for each one, whether it could reveal any of those; when it can’t tell, it asks you.
- What the browser extension reads, only on a page where you use it: a job posting’s title, company and text, or the name and headline on a LinkedIn profile you save. If “Find the employer’s posting when I open a LinkedIn apply link” is on (it is by default, and can be turned off in the extension), it sends Vector the LinkedIn job’s link and the employer page it led to. When you use easy mode, it fills in an application form on the employer’s site from the details and answers you saved for it, and you submit it. If you turn on “submit for me”, it submits a form for you only when every question the form requires is answered from what you saved, your résumé is attached and there is no CAPTCHA, after a 10-second countdown you can stop. Easy mode never answers questions about gender, race, veteran or disability status. When the employer’s site shows the application went through, the extension sends Vector a record of it: the answers on the form, the names of the files attached, and the confirmation page’s address and text. It leaves out your answers to voluntary self-identification questions (such as gender, race, ethnicity, pronouns, veteran or disability status), and Vector never keeps them. Apart from those, that record can include anything you typed into the employer’s form, including other sensitive answers the employer asked for. If you press “Find these with my browser”, it opens the LinkedIn jobs you added to Vector in your own browser, one at a time, and sends Vector each job’s title, company, location and description and the employer link the page shows. When you open the extension on a LinkedIn profile or your LinkedIn messages, it sends Vector that page’s address to list your Open Door notes for that person; when you press “Put my note in the message box”, it types the note you wrote in Vector into the message window you opened, and tells Vector it did. You press Send. It never clicks, posts or sends anything on LinkedIn. If you turn on “Show Vector’s marks on job pages” for a site (LinkedIn, Indeed, HiringCafe or JobCopilot; it is off until you do), then whenever you have a job search page open on that site, it reads the jobs the page has already loaded and sends Vector each job’s title, company, link, location and the site’s job id, and the same for a single job posting you open the extension on. Nothing else from the page or your browser is sent. Vector marks each job on the page with what it knows (already in your search, passed over and why, or new), records the check to measure how many of the jobs that fit your search it had found, and adds a new job that fits your search to it. It never scrolls, clicks or opens anything on the site, and asks the site for nothing. You can turn it off for one site or for all of them at any time in the extension, and the marks go at once. If Vector couldn’t read a job posting and you press “Read it with my browser”, the extension opens that one posting in a tab; when you press the Vector button there and “Read this posting for Vector”, it sends Vector the posting’s address, title and text, and closes the tab. It never answers a security check or signs in for you. When you save a job shown inside another site or app, it also sends the link that page shows to the job’s own posting, so Vector reads the job from there.
- Newsletters you forward: if you turn on newsletter forwarding in Hunt, the emails you send to your private Vector address, usually newsletters and alerts from publications you subscribe to, and who sent them. Vector reads them only to find organizations for your search. It never asks for your password to any site, never signs in anywhere for you, and never opens the links in them.
- Payments: handled by Stripe. We store Stripe’s reference numbers and, to prevent repeated free trials, a card fingerprint and its last four digits. We never store your card number. If you sign up through a partner’s link, we record which link, to give you its trial and to count the people it brought in; we don’t tell the partner who signed up. If you receive Refer & Earn rewards, Stripe collects the identity, bank and tax details it needs to pay you; we store only Stripe’s reference for your payout account, whether it can receive payouts, and the names of any details Stripe still needs from you.
- Devices: if you turn on notifications, the push address your browser gives us. Our servers keep ordinary request logs (time, address, page) for security and debugging.
- Pages you share: when someone opens a page you shared, such as a dossier, we record when it was opened, which parts of it were on screen and for how long, any download, an approximate location (city, region and country) worked out from the request (the IP address itself is not stored), and a name or role only if the reader chooses to give one.
- Open Doors: when you share an Open Door, we record when each link is opened and how many different browsers opened it (using a cookie on that page, and never counting you), and each answer. Someone who answers gives us their email address (optional if they say “not this time”), what they can help with and, if they choose, a name and a note. Their answer goes to you, and answering with an email address that has no Vector account sets up a free one for it, which they can claim or ignore. When one of your contacts names someone they can introduce you to, Vector keeps that name, at the Open Door’s organization, and the team they mentioned, as an introduction path on your account; nothing else about the named person, and Vector never contacts them. The contact can take the name back by answering again without it, or from their own account, and the introduction path goes with it. If someone asks not to be contacted through Vector again, we keep a scrambled (hashed) copy of their email address or LinkedIn address, and nothing else, so that no Vector user can include them in an Open Door again. Vector never sends Open Doors itself: you send each one from your own LinkedIn or email.
- Asking Boardy for an introduction: where Vector finds no one in your network who reaches a company, it can draft an email to Boardy (boardy.ai), an independent service that introduces two people only when both agree. Vector writes the draft from your approved profile, your approved search plan, your own settings (such as your LinkedIn link) and counts of where your search stands; never from a coach’s private notes or anyone else’s data. You edit it and send it from your own email, and Vector sends nothing to Boardy. Once you send it, Boardy’s own privacy policy and terms cover what you sent. On a pursuit, Vector keeps a copy of the email you sent as part of that pursuit’s outreach. A coaching firm can turn this off with Introduction paths.
The Vector app uses no advertising or analytics trackers and loads no third-party scripts. The cookies it sets keep you signed in and protect your session, remember that you’re using Vector’s Android app, count how many different browsers opened a page you shared (so a reload isn’t counted twice), and remember for 30 days who referred a new user. None of them is used for advertising or shared with anyone.
Our public website (vectorjsos.ai). If you click Accept in the website’s cookie banner, the website loads HubSpot’s analytics so we can see which pages help and which companies visit. HubSpot then records the pages you view there, the page you came from, your browser and device type, and your IP address, which it uses to estimate the company or organization network you are visiting from, and it sets cookies that recognize your browser on later visits (the longest-lived, __hstc and hubspotutk, last six months). HubSpot keeps the visit records in our HubSpot account under its own retention terms until we delete them or you ask us to. If you click Decline, or choose nothing, the website loads nothing from HubSpot and sets no analytics cookie. You can change your answer any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page of the website; withdrawing asks HubSpot to remove its cookies and stop tracking this browser. None of this happens in the Vector app.
3.How we use it
- to run your search: research, drafting, tracking, coaching and reminders;
- to suggest introductions: who among your contacts could introduce you to someone at an organization, and why (they worked together, by the dates in their employment history, or a contact named them in an Open Door reply). Vector works this out from what it stores, by fixed rules, not by AI guessing. When you search for a path to a person or an organization, an AI research provider finds what’s public about them in a professional setting, and Vector uses an item only when it quotes the page it came from; the steps of a path (up to three) are then worked out by the same fixed rules, and each says why. Past three steps, or without evidence, Vector says it has no path to show rather than guess;
- to send you the emails and notifications you’ve chosen;
- to bill you, prevent abuse, secure the service and fix problems;
- to improve Vector, using usage patterns, not by training AI models on your content;
- to meet legal obligations.
How your weekly targets are set. Vector sets them from your weekly plan by fixed rules drawn from published research, inside a minimum and a maximum; no AI decides a number. Each target says which rule set it. In a lighter week only your plan counts and nothing is counted as off plan. You can choose one yourself, with no reason asked, or one follows when two check-ins in a row say the week is hard.
Testing the rules. Some of those rules use numbers that research doesn’t pin down exactly (how many days before a priority role is flagged, for example). To learn which works better, Vector may try a slightly different number, within the range the research supports, for some people. Which version you get is decided at random and stays the same. We never vary the maximum Vector asks of you or the lighter week. Results are only looked at in groups: no group smaller than 10 people is shown, and no one is looked at individually. Nothing extra is collected for a test, and nothing leaves Vector.
For people in the European Economic Area and the UK, our legal bases are performing our contract with you, our legitimate interests in running and securing the service, your consent where we ask for it, and legal obligations.
4.AI processing
Vector’s research, drafting and coaching are done by AI models from the providers listed in section 8. Each task sends a provider only what that task needs (for example, your résumé text to tailor a résumé, or a company name to research it). We use their business APIs, and we don’t use your content to train AI models.
Interview rehearsal. When you practice an interview and answer out loud, your browser records the answer and sends it to Vector, which passes it to OpenAI to turn it into text and then drops it: the recording is never saved to our storage or our database. OpenAI also reads the interviewer’s questions aloud. The questions and the scores are written by AI models from your interview, the role and your own record, and judge only what you said and what your record shows. You can type your answers instead, with nothing recorded at all.
How they operate. For a company in your search, Vector describes how it operates (how fast it changes, how much room people have to decide, whether it fills roles from inside, and so on) from dated public evidence: state layoff (WARN) notices, OSHA and Wage and Hour records, SEC and H-1B filings, the company’s own website and filings, Vector’s job index, and company measures from Coresignal, stated in our own words. It shows a practice only where two independent kinds of evidence agree, with the sources, and turns the rest into questions for your interview. It never uses employee reviews, gives no score, and is never used to rank, filter or hide roles, or put in anything an employer sees. A company’s description is about the company and is shared by everyone whose search includes it: building it sends only the company’s name and website to the sources, never anything about you. The notes that set it beside what you told Vector (your answers to “How you like to work”, or, until you answer, your dealbreakers and the signals in your strategy) are worked out inside Vector, and only you and your own coach see them.
5.Outside research agents
Some deeper searches (finding roles, hunting for companies) are run by outside research agents: OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Perplexity. The research brief they receive contains your name, the roles and companies you’re targeting, your locations and pay range, and the agent’s provider keeps it under its own terms. You can turn this off in Settings → Privacy (“Keep my research inside Vector”); the same searches are then run by Vector’s own agent.
You can also switch off the AI companies Vector uses, one by one: OpenAI, Perplexity, Exa and Google Gemini (Settings → Privacy, “The AI companies that work for you”). A company you switch off receives nothing new for anything Vector does for you, and the page says what each switch costs before you use it. Anthropic’s Claude can’t be switched off: it does most of Vector’s work and is the only one that reads your files.
6.Coaches and coaching firms
If you signed up on your own, nobody else can see your search. Vector doesn’t provide human coaches: your account includes an AI coach and an AI career counselor, which work from your search inside Vector.
If you connect a coach of your own, you invite them by email from Settings. Once they accept, that coach (and nobody else at their firm) can see and add to your search in Vector: your pursuits, materials, progress and the notes you share. You can disconnect them at any time in Settings → Privacy, and their access ends immediately. Their private notes about you belong to them and aren’t shown to you. If a former employer sponsors your account, it is never told you have a coach.
If you choose a helper from a company that sponsors you, that one person works with you like a coach, on the terms in section 7, and never sees your conversations with a coach of your own.
If a coaching firm invited you, that firm and the coaches it assigns can see your search in Vector while it coaches you. Your account and search are yours: you agreed to these terms when you accepted the invitation, they stay yours after your coaching ends, and only you can download or delete them. The records the firm keeps while coaching you (its coaches’ notes, feedback, interventions and the goals it sets) are the firm’s: it decides how it uses them, its own privacy terms apply, and we process them for it and follow its instructions. The firm can download those records, delete the ones it kept for itself, and choose how long they’re kept after your coaching ends. Coaches’ private notes about you belong to them and aren’t shown to you. When the firm ends your coaching, its coaches can no longer see your search, and we tell you that your account is still yours.
Your firm can choose which parts of Vector you use. A coaching firm that invited you can switch some features off for you, for example job search or the AI coach, to keep you focused on what matters most right now. While a feature is off, Vector doesn’t run it for you, so nothing is researched or written for it, and you’ll see a note saying your coach set up your workspace. Each change is recorded with who made it and when. It never touches your privacy settings, downloading your data or deleting your account, which stay yours.
A headhunter you work with through Vector sees only what you choose to share with them.
Your weekly check-in is seen only by you and your own coach: a coach you connected, or the coach a coaching firm assigned you. Never by the firm’s owners or operators, a company that sponsors your account or anyone on its staff (including a helper), a headhunter, or a hiring company. In a lighter week, anyone else who can see your scorecard (a coaching firm, say) sees only “Lighter week”: exactly the same whether you chose it or your check-ins asked for it, so it tells them nothing about how you’re doing. Your own coach sees which it was. What Vector notices about where your search is stuck (for example, applications that aren’t leading to interviews) is shown to you and your own coach.
Introduction paths (where your contacts have worked, and names a contact offered in an Open Door reply) are seen only by you and your own coach. A coaching firm’s owners and operators see your pursuits and Open Doors as before, without them; a company that sponsors your account, its helpers, and a headhunter never see them. The same goes for your introduction-path searches, except that a path resting on a membership you allowed with the tick in section 2 is shown only to you, and only you can run a search or ask for a draft. Your affiliations list is seen only by you.
Recruiters on Vector. Recruiters who are approved by Vector see an anonymous summary of candidates who turned on “Let recruiters find me” in Settings → Privacy, which is off unless you turn it on. Your name, contact details and employers are shared only with a recruiter whose request you accept. Declining shares nothing, and turning the setting off removes you from every recruiter’s view straight away.
The Coach Network. You can ask a coach listed in Vector’s Coach Network for an introduction. The coach sees your note and only the details you choose to share with the request — by default your name, current title, target roles and a short summary. Your email goes to them only if they accept, and you are then connected with them like any other coach, under your privacy settings. If they decline, don’t answer within 14 days, or you withdraw, they keep nothing of you. Coaches in the network are independent: they bill you directly, and their own terms apply to the coaching. Vector may be paid for introductions. A company that sponsors your account never sees any of this.
Vector Global Talent. If you join Vector Global Talent, nothing about you is shared with any company until you agree on the consent screen. Then BPO companies on Vector Global Talent that hire for the kind of work you chose see a card without your name: your country and city, the languages you speak, your assessment level and band, your typing speed, the shifts and kinds of work you want, your experience, and when you can start. A company learns your name and how to contact you only if it says it is interested and you press Accept, and only that company. If you agree, your assessment certificate page shows your first name and last initial, country, level, band, typing and the date to anyone with its link. Your spoken answers in the assessment are sent to our speech provider to be turned into text; we don’t keep the recordings, and we keep the text of your answers and your scores with your account. You can stop sharing at any time: from then no new company sees your card and the certificate page stops working, and a company you already accepted keeps what you shared with it. A hiring company that asks for seats sees only how many people meet its request at each BPO, never who they are. We record which link you joined through, such as a friend’s share link; the person who shared it sees only how many people joined with it, never who.
7.If a former employer sponsors your account
A company you used to work for may offer to pay for your Vector account for a set term. If you accept:
- They can see that you were invited and whether you accepted, and totals for your group of invitees (with small groups withheld, so no one can be picked out).
- They never see your search: the roles and companies you pursue, your contacts, documents, notes, activity, sign-ins, or whether you have found a job. The one exception is a helper from their HR or Recruiting team, and only if you choose one, and only what you choose (below).
- Nothing from your account is shared with them when you accept; they learn only that you did.
- Documents they share for you (a performance review, say) stay sealed until you accept: nobody reads them before then. You then choose which Vector may use to build your profile, and the rest are deleted. If you don’t accept, all of them are deleted. The company isn’t told what you chose.
- You can end the sponsorship at any time in Settings → Privacy. You keep everything, and can continue on your own plan.
If the company offers a helper (Direct Assistance). Some companies ask people on their HR or Recruiting team to help those leaving. If yours does, Vector asks whether you’d like to work with one of them. Nothing changes unless you say yes. If you do:
- Your helper sees only what you choose, item by item: your search strategy, Triage and target companies; your applications and the stage each is at; your weekly activity and plan progress; and, only if you turn it on, your résumés, profile and dossiers so they can review them. They also see the tasks, feedback and session notes you and they share. You can change any of these at any time in Settings → Privacy, and the change applies to their next request.
- Your helper never sees your private notes, your contacts, your messages with anyone else (including a coach of your own), offers you record, your weekly check-ins or what Vector notices about where your search is stuck, or your documents unless you share them. A helper keeps no private notes about you: everything they write in Vector, you can read.
- The company’s HR team sees that you chose a helper, and who your helper is, so they can assign one. Nobody else at the company, leadership included, sees anything about you: they see a report of totals across many people, with any figure that could point at one person withheld, as in the bullet above.
- What your helper does is recorded (sessions and how long they lasted, tasks, feedback, Open Doors drafted, introductions, reviews and check-ins), with the date, and is never edited afterwards. You can read all of it on Your coach. The company’s report counts these, and it may give its auditors a list of them that says what and when, never who.
- You can stop at any time in Settings → Privacy. Your helper’s access ends straight away, and also ends when your sponsorship does. The HR team sees that you no longer have a helper, never why. What was done for you stays on your record and in the company’s totals. We keep a record of each choice you make (when you chose, what you shared, and when you stopped) so we can show who could see what, and when.
8.Who receives your data
We don’t sell personal data, or share it for advertising. The companies below process it for us, under contracts that limit them to providing their service:
| Provider | What for | What it receives | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| HubSpot | Analytics on our public website (vectorjsos.ai), only if you accept it there; never in the Vector app | The pages you view on the website, where you came from, your IP address (used to estimate the company network you visit from), and a cookie that recognizes your browser | United States |
| Render | Hosting and the database | Everything Vector stores | United States (Oregon) |
| Cloudflare | File storage (R2) and network delivery | Files you upload, documents Vector generates, and web traffic | United States / global network |
| WorkOS | Sign-in | Your name and email address | United States |
| Stripe | Payments | Your email and payment details (entered with Stripe, never stored by Vector) | United States |
| Resend | Email delivery, and receiving the newsletters you forward to Vector | Your email address, the emails Vector sends you, and the emails you forward to your Vector address | United States (AWS us-east-1) |
| Anthropic | AI models (Claude) | The parts of your search a task needs: résumé text, profile, strategy, pay expectations, contacts' names; for an introduction-path search, who you want to reach and the affiliations you list | United States |
| OpenAI | AI models, job discovery, the ChatGPT research agent, and speech for interview rehearsal | The same, for the tasks it runs; research briefs (name, target roles and companies, locations, pay range) unless you keep research inside Vector; the recording of a rehearsal answer you give out loud, to turn it into text, and the interviewer's questions, to read them aloud | United States |
| AI model (Gemini) for job discovery | Search queries built from your strategy: titles, locations, exclusions | United States | |
| Perplexity | Web research | Research requests about companies; for deep research, your name, positioning and warm contacts; for an introduction-path search, the name and organization of the person or organization you want to reach | United States |
| Exa | Web search | Search queries and company names | United States |
| Coresignal | Organization research you buy, and company measures for How they operate | The company and role filters you choose; for How they operate, only the name and website of a company in a search, never who is searching | EU (Lithuania-based) |
| Apollo | Finding recruiters at an agency in your search when other sources find too few, and company lookups | Company names and domains, and the job titles to look for; never who is searching | United States |
| FullEnrich | Organization research and work-email lookup you buy, and looking up where your contacts have worked when you ask it to (on paid plans) | The company and role filters you choose, the names and LinkedIn URLs of the people at that company, and the LinkedIn URLs of the contacts Vector looks up for you | EU (France-based) |
We also disclose data when the law requires it, to protect people or the service, or as part of a sale or merger of our business, in which case this policy continues to apply.
9.How long we keep it
- Your account and search, including your weekly plans and check-ins: while your account is open.
- When you delete your account: it is closed and you’re signed out everywhere immediately; your data is then erased from our database and file storage, normally within minutes and always within a day, and from our rolling backups within 7 days. We keep the card fingerprint used to stop repeat free trials, with the card’s brand and last four digits removed, so deleting an account and signing up again can’t start another free trial on the same card. Deleting your account also deletes your sign-in at WorkOS and your customer record at Stripe; Stripe keeps the invoices and payments the law requires it to keep. AI providers keep what they received for a short period under their own terms.
- A coaching firm’s records about you: until the firm deletes them, or for the period the firm chose after your coaching ends, when they’re deleted automatically. Deleting your account deletes them too.
- Documents you upload, and the files Vector makes for you (like a tailored résumé): until you delete them in Documents, or delete your account. Deleting a document deletes the file and the text Vector read from it from our file storage straight away, along with the facts taken only from it and the copies of its text kept with past AI tasks. What you made with it stays until you change it: your profile (rebuilt without the document the next time you rebuild it), contacts you imported from it, and copies already attached to dossiers you sent. A document your coach uploaded to a task you share stays theirs. Copies in our rolling database backups are gone within 7 days.
- Interview rehearsals: a recording of an answer you give out loud is never kept. It is sent to OpenAI to be turned into text and dropped, whether or not that worked. The text of your answers, what was measured from them and your scores: until you delete the rehearsal from its scorecard, or delete your account. Deleting a rehearsal also empties the copies of its answers kept with the AI tasks that wrote its questions and scored it.
- The inputs we sent to AI and research providers for a task: 90 days, then removed. We keep a record that the task ran and what it cost, what the task produced, and a few details the finished work still shows: which documents it read, who a message was addressed to, whether you asked for a revision, and the job-market figures behind a career plan.
- Newsletters you forward to Vector: the text of each email for 90 days, then removed. What Vector found in them stays with your search until you remove it.
- Signed-out sessions and notification devices you’ve turned off: 30 days. Invitations nobody accepted (including invitations to a coach): deleted 30 days after they expire or are canceled; invitations expire 30 days after they’re sent. Read notifications: 180 days. Usage events: 13 months.
- Payment records: as long as tax and accounting law requires.
- Open Door opens and answers: while the account of the person who shared it is open. Closing an Open Door stops its links working; deleting that account deletes its Open Doors with their opens and answers.
- A free account set up for someone who answered an Open Door and never claimed it: until they ask us to delete it.
- Your contacts’ employment histories: while your account is open, refreshed at most every 180 days. A name a contact offered in an Open Door reply: until they take it back, or your account is deleted. Deleting your account deletes both.
- Introduction-path searches: 30 days, then deleted with what they found and any drafts; you can delete one sooner. Your affiliations: until you remove them, or delete your account. A suggestion you turned down is remembered, so it isn’t suggested again, until you delete your account.
- Opt-out requests: for as long as Vector operates, because they only work if we remember them.
- Direct Assistance (section 7): your choices about a helper, and the record of what helpers did for you, while your account is open. They are never edited; deleting your account deletes them. The company’s report holds only totals.
10.Your choices and rights
In Settings you can, at any time:
- download a copy of your data (Settings → Your data);
- see every document you’ve given Vector, what was taken from each and what uses it, and delete any of them (Documents);
- correct your profile and details, including whether you’re working;
- skip the weekly check-in, any week, and choose a lighter week (Weekly plan);
- type your interview rehearsal answers instead of recording them, and delete any rehearsal (from its scorecard);
- delete your account and everything in it;
- turn off outside research agents;
- connect your own coach, and disconnect them (Settings → Privacy);
- end a former employer’s sponsorship of your account (Settings → Privacy);
- choose whether to work with a helper from a company that sponsors you, choose what they see, and stop (Settings → Privacy);
- turn off the daily email and notifications;
- turn off, or replace, your newsletter forwarding address (Hunt → Your newsletters).
Depending on where you live (including California and the EEA/UK), you also have rights to know, access, correct, delete and port your data, to object to or restrict some processing, and to withdraw consent. For anything you can’t do in Settings, write to info@vectorjsos.ai; we answer within 30 days, and we may need to confirm it’s you. We won’t treat you differently for using these rights. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
11.If you're not a Vector user
Vector may hold your name and professional details because a user added you as a contact, found you while researching a company, or sent you a page, such as a dossier or an Open Door. If you are a user’s contact, Vector may also hold where you have worked (employers, titles and dates), from its enrichment provider, for that user alone, to suggest introductions. If one of a user’s contacts named you in an Open Door reply as someone they could introduce the user to, Vector holds your name and the organization, for that user alone, and never contacts you. If a user searched for a way to be introduced to you or your organization, Vector looked up what’s public about you in a professional setting (where you’ve worked, schools, boards, associations, published work, conference panels and press), from pages a web search found and never from LinkedIn or social media, and kept it with that user’s search for 30 days. It never guesses a membership that could reveal your race or ethnicity, religion, political opinions, union membership, health or sexual orientation: one is used only if a page about you states it in a professional setting and the user belongs to it too, and then only that user sees it. Vector never contacts you on their behalf. If you answered an Open Door, we hold your answer and your email address, and a free account was set up for that address unless it already had one; you can claim it by signing in, or ask us to delete it. Any Open Door page lets you ask not to be contacted through Vector again. We use this only for that user’s job search, and to honor your opt-out. If Vector sent you a page about Vector itself, made for your company or firm, we record when it was opened, how long it was on screen and how far down it was scrolled, how much of its video was played, whether its booking button was pressed, an approximate location (the IP address itself is not stored), and whether the visit looks like an email security system checking the link rather than a person, so that a check isn’t counted as someone reading it. The page says at the top that views are shared with the sender. To see what we hold about you or to have it removed, write to info@vectorjsos.ai.
12.Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is limited by role and checked on every request, and we don’t store passwords. See our Security & privacy overview for details. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your data, we’ll tell you as the law requires.
13.Where data is processed
Vector is run from the United States, and your data is stored there. Some providers process it elsewhere (section 8). Where the law requires it for transfers out of the EEA or UK, we rely on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard.
14.Children
Vector is for adults running a job search. It isn’t meant for anyone under 18.
15.Changes and contact
If we change this policy materially, we’ll tell you by email or in the app before the change takes effect. Questions, requests and complaints: info@vectorjsos.ai, Torri Granger LLC dba Vector JSOS, 2810 N Church St #294672, Wilmington, DE 19802.
