Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Brutus ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use Slate, our candidate write-up tool available at slate-deck.com (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to this Policy.

Information we collect

• Account information. When you sign in, we collect your email address, which we use to send you a secure sign-in link and to identify your account.
• Content you provide. This includes job descriptions, candidate resumes, your notes, saved jobs, format samples, and the write-ups generated for you. This content is stored privately and is associated only with your account.
• Payment information. If you purchase write-ups, payment is processed by our payment provider (Stripe). We do not collect or store your full card number or bank details.
• Usage and technical data. Basic technical information such as log data may be collected by our hosting and infrastructure providers to keep the Service running and secure.

How we use your information

We use the information to provide and operate the Service, generate write-ups for you, process payments, send sign-in links and important account messages, respond to your support requests, and maintain the security and integrity of the Service.

How your content is processed

To generate a write-up, the job description, resume, notes, and format samples you provide are sent to a third-party artificial intelligence provider that produces the draft text. This processing happens only to create your write-up. We do not sell your content, and we do not use your candidates' information for advertising.

Service providers we use

We rely on a small set of trusted providers to run the Service, and they process data only on our behalf:

• Supabase, for sign-in and secure database storage.
• Vercel, for website hosting.
• Our AI provider (such as Anthropic or OpenAI), to generate write-up text.
• Stripe, to process payments.
• Resend, to deliver sign-in and account emails.

Candidate and third-party information

Slate is a professional tool, and the content you enter may include personal information about candidates or other individuals. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to provide that information and to have it processed to create your write-ups. We process it solely to provide the Service to you.

How we protect your information

Data is transmitted over encrypted connections, and access is restricted so that each account can only reach its own content. While no online service can promise perfect security, we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Data retention and your choices

We keep your content for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information by emailing us using the address below. Deleting your account removes your associated content.

Where your data is processed

The Service and its providers operate primarily in the United States, and your information may be processed there.

Cookies and local storage

We use only what is needed to keep you signed in and to remember minor interface preferences on your device. We do not use advertising trackers.

Children

The Service is intended for use by adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above, and significant changes may be communicated to you.
