Data Security & Privacy Policy

🔐 CareerOS Data Security & Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 29, 2025

At CareerOS, we care deeply about user privacy and data integrity. This policy outlines what we collect, how it's stored, who has access, and how we protect it — with a commitment to transparency as the product evolves.

📋 What Data We Collect

CareerOS stores limited user data strictly required for core functionality. This includes:

• Atlassian Account ID

• Goals and Metrics (e.g. “Strategic Thinking” progress)

• Timestamps related to goal tracking

• Display name and Atlassian-generated avatar URL
  
  

We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as real names, passwords, or organization secrets — and we do not request access to your Jira projects or issues beyond what's required for analytics inside your own instance.

🗄️ How Your Data Is Stored

All data is stored using the Atlassian Forge Storage API, which is:

• Hosted on Atlassian infrastructure

• Encrypted at rest and in transit by default (per Forge platform standards)
  
  

No external databases or third-party services currently store your data.

👀 Who Can Access the Data

Only the developer (Akif) and any authorized consultants can access user data strictly for debugging or support. We do not sell, share, or use your data for marketing or external analysis.

We do not currently implement role-based access or organization-level data segmentation, but this may be introduced in the future as team features roll out.

🧼 Data Retention & Deletion

• Users may delete their goals and metrics at any time through the app interface. Once deleted, we can no longer access or retrieve this data.

• If you remove the app from your Jira instance, your data will no longer be accessible to us.

• Data is retained only as long as your instance uses CareerOS and Atlassian permits storage via Forge.
  
  

📤 Data Portability

At this time, CareerOS does not support exporting user data. This feature is on the roadmap.

🔌 Third-Party Services

CareerOS does not currently integrate with any external analytics or APIs. Future updates may introduce optional integrations — these will be opt-in and disclosed clearly before activation.

✅ Compliance

We aim to align with GDPR and CCPA standards by:

• Minimizing data collection

• Never storing PII without consent

• Providing deletion mechanisms via the app UI
