Beacon is a job-search tool: it watches company job boards you choose, scores new postings against your own stored profile, and helps you tailor documents and track your pipeline. This page explains what Beacon stores, how AI is used, and what never happens to your data.

Your account

Beacon is invite-only. Accounts are created through Supabase Auth via Apple, Google, LinkedIn, or email and password. Sign-up requires an approved access request — your email and requested-access status are the only things stored before you're approved.

What Beacon stores

Everything below is scoped to your account and only ever visible to you:

  • Your profile (name, location, contact preferences)
  • Resumes and structured work history you enter — the grounding source for scoring and tailoring
  • Your search preferences (target roles, keywords, locations, comp floor)
  • The companies you're watching or tracking manually
  • Postings pulled from those companies' public job boards, and the scores computed for them
  • Your application pipeline — stages, notes, and next actions you log
  • Tailored resumes and cover letters Beacon generates for you, stored in Supabase Storage

Beacon doesn't collect personal data about anyone but you. Postings are public job listings, not personal information about the people who posted them.

How AI is used

Fit analysis and document tailoring are powered by Anthropic's API. When you run a fit assessment or generate tailored documents, the relevant posting text and your own stored resume/work-history data are sent to Anthropic to produce a result. Nothing is fabricated to paper over a gap — generated content is grounded only in data you've entered yourself, never invented. Your data is not sold, shared with advertisers, or used to train any model.

Location and commute distance

If you use commute-radius preferences, Beacon geocodes posting locations using Nominatim, OpenStreetMap's free public geocoding service. This requires no account or key on our end, and commute distance is only ever shown as a reference — it's never used to silently hide a posting from you.

What Beacon never does

Beacon never submits, autofills, or auto-applies to any job application on your behalf. It makes you faster; you send everything yourself. There are no ads, no third-party trackers, and no analytics SDKs beyond what's needed to run the product.

Your data, your control

You can request a copy or deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us — deleting your account removes your profile, resumes, work history, postings, scores, pipeline, and stored documents.
