Atlas is a private job-search tracker. This page says what it keeps, what
leaves it, who can see it, and how to have it removed. It describes the
system as it actually runs today, not what it might do later.
What Atlas keeps
Your account
Your email address and name. Atlas has no passwords: you sign in with
a one-time link sent to that address.
Your sign-ins
The time, the IP address and the browser string, so you can be told
when your account was used and by what.
Your profile
What you tell Atlas about the work you want: locations, pay
expectations, work authorisation and visa answers, notice period,
time zone, and links you choose to add.
Your résumés
The files you upload, kept so they can be attached to applications and
tailored on request.
Your tracker
The roles you have applied to, the roles you are considering, the
people you have reached out to, and your own notes on all of it.
Voluntary survey answers
The government equal-opportunity questions and the employer diversity
questions, if you choose to answer them. These are treated as
sensitive. They are never used to rank, match or filter anything, and
they are only sent to an employer when you tick the box on that
specific application. That tick is not remembered for the next one.
Support tickets and bug reports
What you write, plus your account, workspace, browser and the time.
Nothing from your tracker is attached.
If you set up mail forwarding
Replies from employers that you forward to Atlas, so it can tell you
which application they belong to.
What leaves Atlas, and when
Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared for advertising. Atlas sends data
outside itself in exactly these cases:
Anthropic, when you ask Atlas to write a cover letter, rebuild
or tailor a résumé, or research a company. What is sent is the
text needed for that request, which is usually your résumé text and
the job description. It happens only when you press the button.
Amazon Web Services, which hosts Atlas and sends its email. Your
data is stored in the United States.
Stripe, if you ever buy a plan, which handles the payment. Atlas
does not see or store your card.
Public job boards, which Atlas reads to find roles. It asks them
for their postings. It does not tell them anything about you.
CareerOneStop, a United States Department of Labor service, for
typical pay for a job title in a place. It receives a job title and a
location taken from a posting, never anything about you.
What Atlas does not do
There are no ads, no advertising trackers, no analytics service and no
third-party scripts of any kind. Atlas sets one cookie, which is your
sign-in session.
Who can see your data
You can. So can an administrator, in two situations, and both are
recorded in an audit log:
You ask for help and grant access, which you can withdraw.
An administrator forces access to investigate a problem. You are
emailed when this happens. It is never silent.
How long it is kept
Forwarded message bodies are deleted ninety days after they arrive. The
record that a reply happened, and from whom, is kept.
Everything else is kept until you ask for it to be removed. Atlas does
not expire your job search on its own, because a job search that quietly
lost last year's applications would be worse than useless.
Getting your data removed
Email sohail@ssarwar.com and ask. There is no
self-service button yet, so a person does it. Removal deletes your account
records, everything in your tracker, your résumés and every active
session, and it switches off any forwarding address so that mail already on
its way cannot recreate the account.
People named in job postings
When Atlas reads a public job posting it may pick up the name and contact
address the employer published on it, so you can see who to write to. Those
people have not signed up for Atlas. If you are one of them and want that
removed, email the address above and it will be.
Changes
If what Atlas does changes, this page changes in the same release. The
date at the top is when it last did.
