Security & Privacy

Your job search data is sensitive. We protect it with production-ready security, never sell it, and give you full control.

Our Security Commitment

ApplyArc will never sell your data. Your job applications, cover letters, notes, and personal information are used only to provide our service. When the AI Career Coach analyses your pipeline to tell you what to do next, that analysis stays private to you. We use industry-standard encryption and host on Microsoft Azure's enterprise infrastructure. Read our full security audit.
