What happens to what you paste.

  • Uploaded files stay on your device. A PDF, Word or text file you pick is opened in your browser to pull out its text. The file itself is never sent to us.
  • Résumé and job description text is not stored. It's sent a single time to our matching model, scored, and dropped (and if you buy a posting pack, sent once more to write it, see below). We keep a one-way fingerprint of the text (a SHA-256 hash), which can't be turned back into it.
  • What we keep. The result itself: the role, which responsibilities matched, the experience level for each, and the scores, under a random result ID. For a résumé, that includes the same experience levels scored against the other roles we cover, so your report can suggest roles you'd fit. It has no name or other detail about you attached.
  • Your free plan. Your score is free to see. If you enter your email to open your free plan, we store that email with the result's ID so the report is yours, plus your choice about re-check emails and a private re-check link. If you ask for re-check emails, we first send one email asking you to confirm the address, and send nothing else until you do. After that we send one reminder after 3 months and a note when a monthly score update moves your Human Edge, each with a one-click unsubscribe, and keep a log of what we sent. The link re-scores your saved result against newer scores. It works without your résumé because the text was never kept. We never store the résumé itself, and you can reply to any email from us to have your email deleted.
  • If you buy a posting pack or a full report. Stripe takes the payment on our page and keeps your card, billing details and the email you give it for the receipt. We keep only a record of the purchase (what was bought, for which result, and the amount), never your card. For a posting pack, your résumé and the job posting are sent to Anthropic's Claude to write the pack. Anthropic doesn't train on it and deletes it within 30 days. We don't keep the résumé, the posting or the pack itself, so save or print your pack when it appears. Your browser remembers the purchase (not the résumé) for 7 days so you can still get a pack if the page closes.
  • What never enters a score. Name, age, gender, race, school, photo, location, employment gaps or any other personal attribute. Scores come only from the work your résumé describes.
  • Sharing is your call. A résumé result stays private until you press "Get a shareable card". Only then does its link show your Human Edge score and strongest responsibilities.
  • Updates. If you leave your email, we store it with what you asked for (a role to add, updates on a role, or early access) and email you only about that. The first email asks you to confirm the address. If you don't, we send nothing more and delete it after 7 days. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe, or reply to any email from us to be removed.
  • Checking you're a person. Forms that take an email use Cloudflare Turnstile to stop bots from signing up other people's addresses. It runs in the background and only asks for a click if something looks automated. It sets no tracking cookies. Cloudflare's own privacy terms cover what it checks.
  • Feedback. Yes/No votes on responsibilities are stored against the result ID to calibrate the index.
  • Where visits come from. With each check we note the name of the website that sent you (or a campaign tag in the link, such as "linkedin") and the first page you opened on HumanLens, so we can see which places bring people who use it. Never the full address you came from, and nothing about you. Your browser holds that note (not a cookie) and replaces it the next time you arrive from somewhere else.
  • Limiting heavy use. To stop automated copying, we count how many checks each visitor runs per hour. We store a scrambled, one-way code made from your IP address, never the address itself, and delete the counts after 2 days.
  • Who processes data for us. Cloudflare hosts the site and database. TypeSafe AI runs the model that reads the text to match it to job responsibilities. It handles that text under its data-processing terms and does not train its models on it. Resend sends our emails, so it receives your email address only if you ask for emails from us. Neither Cloudflare nor TypeSafe AI receives your email from us. If you buy a posting pack or a full report, Stripe handles the payment, and for a posting pack Anthropic writes it.
  • No sale of data, no ads, no tracking cookies.
  • Who runs HumanLens. Aretebase LLC, 30 N Gould St, Suite # 7282, Sheridan, WY 82801. To ask about your data or have your email deleted, write to [email protected].

Using HumanLens in hiring

HumanLens is decision support. It describes responsibilities and experience in them, and never makes or automates a hiring decision. If you use a résumé result when hiring for a role in a place that regulates automated employment decision tools (for example New York City, or Colorado), you're responsible for the notices those rules require. The method is public on the How it works page.
