This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which BootCareers collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”) of the bootcareers.com website (“Site”). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by BootCareers.
We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, subscribe to the newsletter, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, phone number. Users may, however, visit our Site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personally identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site related activities.
We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about Users means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information.
Our Site may use “cookies” to enhance User experience. User’s web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. User may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.
BootCareers may collect and use Users personal information for the following purposes:
Information you provide helps us respond to your customer service requests and support needs more efficiently.
We may use feedback you provide to improve our products and services.
We may use the email address to send User information and updates pertaining to their order. It may also be used to respond to their inquiries, questions, and/or other requests. If User decides to opt-in to our mailing list, they will receive emails that may include company news, updates, related product or service information, etc. If at any time the User would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
We adopt appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information and data stored on our Site.
We do not sell, trade, or rent Users personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates and advertisers for the purposes outlined above. This never includes the gender or ethnicity you choose to give us, except as part of published bias-audit results described below. We use third party service providers to help us operate our business and the Site and to administer activities on our behalf, including the providers described under Automated screening and AI, which explains how each of them may use the information we send.
BootCareers uses automated tools, including artificial intelligence (AI), to help employers find candidates. This section explains what those tools do, what information they use, and the choices you have.
For each open job, usually once a night, our system:
Employers decide whom to contact, interview and hire. Employers can also search for and open candidate profiles directly, without the ranking.
The tools evaluate job-related qualifications and characteristics:
The information used comes from your profile (job role, skills, summary, employment history, education and training, achievements, what you are looking for, preferred industries), from the text of the résumé you upload, and from public information on a GitHub profile you link.
The AI model is instructed to judge the substance of your experience and not to reward or penalize grammar, spelling or English fluency.
These providers process candidate information on our behalf:
We use Google's Gemini API under its no-cost terms. Under those terms Google may use the text we send to improve its products and machine-learning technologies, and people at Google may read it after Google disconnects it from our account. That is why we remove names and contact details before sending.
Giving your gender and ethnicity is optional. If you give them, they are never shown to employers and are never used to find, evaluate or rank you, or to adjust anyone's ranking. We use them only to measure, in aggregate, whether screening outcomes differ between groups, so that we can find and fix problems. Where the law requires it, we will publish a summary of the results of an independent bias audit.
Screening scores for a job are refreshed as the job stays open, and each score drops out of the active shortlist after 14 days. We keep a history of scores while your account exists, so that we can check the tools for accuracy and fairness over time.
Users may find advertising or other content on our Site that link to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors and other third parties.
