Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 28, 2026

Introduction

Recruiterbase is operated by Hypertheory LLC ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit https://recruiterbase.co/ (the "Site") or use our services. It covers two groups of people: users who create accounts with us, and finance professionals whose information appears in our professional database. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not access the Site.

Information We Collect From Users

  • Account Information: Your email address and password (securely hashed), or your Google account identity if you sign in with Google
  • Payment Information: Subscription selections and billing status. Payment card details are collected and processed directly by Stripe; we never see or store your card information
  • Communications: Messages you send through our contact form, and any correspondence with us
  • Usage Data: First-party analytics limited to the page visited, referral source (including any campaign or click identifier the referring platform appends to the link), approximate country, and a short-lived pseudonymous identifier derived by hashing connection data. When you create an account, we record the referral source that brought you to us. Raw IP addresses are not stored, and we set no third-party analytics or advertising trackers in your browser. When you create an account, we also report that signup to the advertising platforms we run ads on, as described in How Information Is Shared

Our Professional Database

The core of our service is a database of finance-industry professionals. The information in it is compiled from publicly available professional sources and third-party data services, and relates to individuals in their professional capacity. It may include: name, current firm and title, professional focus, work history, education, location, languages, professional interests, and business contact information. Business email addresses may be derived from publicly observable employer email conventions and checked against email verification services for deliverability.

We use artificial intelligence services to organize and categorize this professional information. We do not knowingly collect or maintain sensitive personal information about the professionals in our database. If you are a professional in our database and would like your profile removed, see Removal From Our Database below.

How We Use Information

  • To provide, maintain, and improve the service, including keeping the professional database current
  • To process subscription payments and manage billing
  • To respond to support requests and other inquiries
  • To send service communications, and marketing communications about Recruiterbase which you can opt out of at any time by replying to any such email or contacting us
  • To secure the service, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, and enforce our terms

How Information Is Shared

Subscribers to our service can access the professional database; that access is the product. We do not sell our users' account information, and we never share the contents of your account. Some state privacy laws may treat subscriber access to database profiles as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information; any professional in our database may opt out at any time by requesting removal as described below.

We share information with service providers only as needed to run the service: Supabase (authentication and database), Vercel (hosting), Stripe (payment processing), Amazon Web Services (email delivery), Smartlead (email communications), Anthropic (AI processing), and email verification services. Each provider processes data only to perform its function for us.

We advertise Recruiterbase on Meta (Instagram and Facebook), TikTok, and LinkedIn. When an account is created, we send those platforms a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of the account's email address, along with any click identifier that platform itself added to the link that brought the visitor to us, and the IP address, browser and country the account was created from, so the platform can tell us which advertisement led to the signup. The platforms never receive a readable email address from us, and we send them nothing about your searches or anything else you do inside the service. Some state privacy laws treat this as "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To opt out, and we will exclude your account from this reporting.

Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies, set for authentication and session management, which are required for the Site to function, and one first-party attribution cookie that remembers how you first arrived (the link, ad or search that brought you, or that you came direct) and the most recent link (the platform, campaign and landing page, never an identifier or anything about you) for 90 days, so we know which of our own posts and ads work, and, if you arrive through a friend's referral link, one first-party referral cookie that remembers their code for 30 days so the free month is applied to your account when you sign up. We store a small number of interface preferences in your browser's local storage. We do not set advertising or targeting cookies, and our pageview analytics described above are otherwise cookieless.

Data Storage and Security

  • Secure authentication through Supabase
  • Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS protocols
  • Access controls limiting who can reach stored data
  • Payment processing handled entirely by Stripe

Data Retention

We retain user account data for as long as your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention. Professional database profiles are retained while they remain professionally current; profiles are removed when they are no longer relevant to the service or upon a removal request.

Your Rights

Regardless of where you live, we honor verified requests to:

  • Access the information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Delete your account and associated personal data, or your database profile
  • Receive a copy of your information in a portable format
  • Opt out of marketing communications
  • Opt out of the advertising measurement described above

To exercise any of these rights, . We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

If you are a professional whose information appears in our database and you would like it removed, or you wish to opt out of any sale or sharing of your information, submit a request through our with your name and firm. We will remove your profile promptly.

International Data Transfers

We are based in the United States and process data there. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to anyone under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy
