Privacy policy for the AltRefer private beta.
AltRefer handles sensitive career signals. The privacy rule is simple: collect the minimum needed to match, moderate, and route warm referral paths, while keeping insiders anonymous by default.
This policy describes the current beta product. It should be reviewed with counsel before broad public launch or expansion outside the private beta.
- Beta access requests: name, email, role, location, target role, and context you choose to provide.
- Candidate profile inputs: CV/profile text, role family, skills, seniority, target roles, industries, and contact email.
- Hiring hints: company or masked company, role, source type, hiring state, confidence, skills, and safe notes.
- Referral requests: selected role, candidate details, tone, and the candidate-written message.
- Operational records: moderation decisions, Signal Karma ledger entries, public signal runs, and notification events.
- We do not scrape LinkedIn profile URLs.
- We do not run logged-in scraping on LinkedIn, Indeed, or gated job boards.
- We do not publish raw insider notes or insider identity to candidates.
- We do not build company reviews, salary databases, layoff trackers, or gossip surfaces.
- To rank hiring signals against candidate profiles.
- To queue safe hints for moderation before candidates can match against them.
- To label signal provenance as Insider-hinted or AltRefer-found.
- To create non-monetary Signal Karma and impact receipts for useful contributors.
- To operate the private beta, review abuse risk, and improve safety rules.
