Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Carrier Recruit ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Carrier Recruit Chrome extension and website at carrierrecruit.com (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.

By using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

• Email address
• Password (stored in hashed form)
• Subscription tier and billing status

Payment Information

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number, expiration date, or CVC on our servers. Stripe may collect and store this information in accordance with their own privacy policy. We receive only a confirmation of payment status and a truncated card identifier for your records.

Usage Data

We may collect information about how you interact with the Service, including:

• Number of data extractions performed
• Features used (filtering, exporting)
• Browser type and extension version
• General device information (operating system, screen resolution)

Data Not Collected

We do not collect:

• Browsing history or activity outside of the FMCSA website
• Personal data from the carriers listed on the FMCSA website
• Keystrokes, form inputs, or any content from websites you visit

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
• Process your subscription payments
• Send you account-related communications (subscription confirmations, password resets, important service updates)
• Monitor and enforce usage limits based on your subscription tier
• Improve and optimize the Service
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse

4. Data Extracted from FMCSA

The Service facilitates the extraction of publicly available data from the FMCSA website. This data (carrier names, MC numbers, phone numbers, authority status, etc.) is publicly accessible to anyone visiting the FMCSA website. We do not store this extracted data on our servers — it is processed locally in your browser and exported directly to your device.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We use third-party services (such as Stripe for payment processing and Supabase for authentication) that may process your data on our behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• Protection of Rights: We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our Terms of Service, suspected fraud, or threats to safety.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
• Hashed password storage
• Secure authentication via Supabase
• Regular security reviews

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you cancel your subscription, we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (such as resolving disputes or enforcing our Terms). You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

8. Cookies and Tracking

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Essential Cookies: Required for authentication and core functionality.
• Analytics: We may use analytics services to understand how users interact with our website. These tools may use cookies to collect aggregated, anonymized usage data.

The Chrome extension itself does not use cookies. It communicates with our authentication service only to verify your subscription status.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Stripe — Payment processing
• Supabase — Authentication and account management
• Google Chrome Web Store — Extension distribution

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a minor, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete that information.

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information.
