New Hire is a hackathon project. This page explains what data the app handles, in plain language. The short version: there are no accounts, no analytics, no cookies, and no marketing emails.
What stays on your device
- Your team graph(employees, skills, tasks, chat history) is stored in your browser's
localStorage. Clearing site data removes it. - Your Anthropic API key, if you provide one (BYOK), is stored only in your browser's
localStorage. It is sent to our server in a request header so we can forward your requests to Anthropic. We do not log it, persist it, or share it. - Theme and UI preferences are stored in
localStorage.
What we send to third parties
- Anthropic— every job description, company description, skill, task, and chat message you submit is sent to Anthropic's API to generate a response. Anthropic's own privacy and data-use terms apply to that traffic.
- Cloudflare — the app is hosted on Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare receives standard request metadata (IP, user agent, timestamp) for routing and abuse protection.
- YC Jobs / external URLs— when you paste a URL into the "Hire" dialog, our server uses Anthropic's
web_fetch tool to retrieve the page. The URL and its fetched content go to Anthropic.
What we do not do
- No analytics, telemetry, or session-replay tools.
- No cookies beyond what your browser sets by default.
- No advertising trackers.
- No selling, sharing, or licensing of your data.
Logs
Cloudflare keeps short-lived edge logs for operational purposes (rate limiting, error diagnostics). We do not log API keys, prompts, or responses to durable storage.
Don't paste secrets
New Hire is a beta tool. Please do not paste sensitive personal information, credentials, or anything you wouldn't want shared with Anthropic into the app.
