Privacy Policy

Account information. When you create a Footing account, we collect your email address and authentication credentials, which are used to sign you in and secure your account.

LinkedIn connection data. If you choose to import your LinkedIn connections using the Footing browser extension, we collect information about your connections as it appears on LinkedIn — names, job titles, companies, profile photos, and LinkedIn profile identifiers. This import runs only when you start it, and only for the LinkedIn account you are already signed in to in your own browser.

Contacts you curate. When you choose specific connections to stay close to, we store that selection and any details tied to those contacts within your account.

Your rolling resume. If you use the rolling resume, we store what you enter — roles, projects, education, certifications, skills, and the descriptions you write under them. It is visible only to your account, and it is deleted along with your account.

Tailored resumes. When you tailor a resume to a job, we send the job description you paste, along with the parts of your rolling resume we use, to our AI provider (Anthropic) to choose and order what goes on it. We do not save the job description. We do save the resume that comes back, with a label naming the job, so you can edit and download it later; it is visible only to your account and is deleted along with it. We keep a count of how many tailored resumes each account has made.

You can connect an AI agent to your Footing account, such as Claude or an assistant you run yourself, by creating an API key for it. Connecting an agent is optional, and you choose which agents get a key.

What agents can read. An agent with a key can read the data in your account that its key allows: your rolling resume, the jobs you are pursuing and your notes and company research on them, your interview stories, your past interview sessions with their answers, feedback and scores, and your preparation plans. A read-only key can read this data but cannot change it.

What agents can write.An agent with a write key can add and update jobs, stories, interview sessions, scores, preparation plans, and your rolling resume. Deletions are soft, so they can be reversed, and changes an agent makes to your resume are recorded with the agent and time so you can review and undo them. An agent can never see another user’s data, and a key cannot create or manage other keys.

Where the data goes.Anything an agent reads from Footing is sent to the provider of that agent. For example, if you connect Claude, the data it reads goes to Anthropic, and if you connect an assistant built on another model, it goes to that model’s provider. What the provider does with it is governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy policy, not this one, so please review them before you connect an agent. Anything an agent writes to Footing is stored in your account like any other data.

Revoking access.You can revoke a key at any time from the API keys section of your Footing settings, and the agent loses access immediately. Revoking a key does not delete data the agent has already received; to have it removed, contact the agent’s provider. To remove data stored in Footing, see “Data retention and deletion” below.

We never ask for, receive, or store your LinkedIn username or password. The extension uses your existing, already-signed-in LinkedIn browser session to read your connections; your LinkedIn credentials never pass through Footing.

The Footing extension has a single purpose: importing your LinkedIn connections into your Footing account so Footing can help you maintain those relationships. When you start a sync, the extension reads your connections from LinkedIn using your current LinkedIn session and sends them to Footing’s servers over an encrypted connection, tied to your Footing account.

The extension requests only the browser permissions it needs to do this and does not track your browsing, inject advertising, or collect data from other websites.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide the Footing service — showing your connections and helping you curate and stay in touch with them.
• Authenticate you and keep your account secure.
• Operate, maintain, and improve the product.
• Communicate with you about your account or the service.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Your data is stored with our infrastructure provider (Supabase) and is access-controlled so that it is private to your own Footing account. We rely on industry-standard measures, including encryption in transit and per-account access controls, to protect it. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and to limit access to it.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with service providers who process data on our behalf to run Footing (such as our hosting and database provider, and our AI provider for tailored resumes), and only as needed to provide the service. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and Footing.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active. You can delete your imported connections or your entire account at any time; when you delete your account, we remove your associated personal data, except where we are required to retain it by law. To request deletion or export of your data, contact us at the email below.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at [privacy@footing.app]. We will respond as required by applicable law.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above, and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of Footing after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.

If you have questions about this policy or how we handle your data, contact us at [privacy@footing.app].
