Sonara Privacy Policy

Why Our Privacy Policy Matters to You

Look, privacy policies aren’t usually the most thrilling read, but when it comes to your career and personal info, they deserve a bit of your attention. Our AI-powered job matching and interview automation tools handle sensitive data like your resume details and interview recordings. So, we’re upfront about what we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe.

At Sonara, we’ve designed our platform to give you control and transparency because your trust means everything to us. From what our users tell us, knowing exactly how your data is used makes the whole process feel more secure—and that helps you focus on landing the right job.

What We Collect and Why It’s Needed

We’re pretty clear about what info we gather because it’s all about making your job hunt smoother. When you sign up, we ask for things like your contact details, professional background, and job preferences. This helps our AI find matches that actually fit what you want.

Besides what you provide, we also track your interactions with our platform—like which job matches catch your eye or how you navigate the site. This data helps us fine-tune recommendations and fix any hiccups you might run into.

Personal Info You Share

• Full name, email address, and phone number
• Work history and skills
• Resume uploads and career goals
• Job search filters and salary expectations
• Interview slots and scheduling preferences

Automatically Collected Details

• Device type and browser info
• Clicks on job listings and applications
• Performance metrics if you record interviews
• Session duration and navigation paths

What We Don’t Keep

Honestly, we don’t store your social media passwords, track your location outside the app, or keep practice interview recordings unless you explicitly save them. We want you to feel safe knowing your data isn’t being hoarded unnecessarily.

How Sonara Uses Your Data for AI Matching and Interviews

Here’s where the magic happens. Our AI uses your profile info to find jobs that really fit your skills and preferences. The more detailed your profile, the smarter the matching. We analyze your experience and preferences to give you relevance scores on job vacancies so you can focus on what matters.

When you opt in, our interview automation schedules your interviews based on your availability and helps employers coordinate with you seamlessly. Plus, if you share interview performance data, our tools can suggest specific ways to improve.

Behind the Scenes of Job Matching

Our system scores job vacancies against your profile using thousands of data points. This means you spend less time sifting through unsuitable roles and more time applying to ones that fit.

Interview Automation Features

• AI-driven scheduling that syncs with your calendar
• Custom interview flows tailored by employers
• Automated reminders and follow-ups
• Evaluation tools to track feedback and progress

Your Control: Managing Data Access and Privacy Settings

One thing we hear a lot is how important it is for you to control your own data. We’ve built our platform with that in mind. You can download your full data pack anytime—everything from your profile details to interview recordings, neatly packaged in a ZIP file.

If you want to delete or update info, you can do that easily in your account. Need to remove a specific resume version or clear old job preferences? It’s just a few clicks away. And if you decide to step away from Sonara completely, deleting your account wipes your personal data quickly (though some cached data might take a day or two to disappear).

Privacy Settings You Can Adjust

• Who sees your profile (default is employers only)
• Whether to record and save interview sessions
• How much data we use for AI analytics

Quick Overview of Privacy Controls

Keeping Your Data Safe with Industry-Standard Security

We take security seriously. All your info is encrypted both at rest and in transit using AES-256 and TLS 1.3. That’s the same level of protection used by banks and healthcare providers. Plus, only authorized team members access your data, and they do so under strict controls and regular audits.

If there’s ever a security incident, we have a plan to notify you within 72 hours with all the details and steps we’re taking. We want you to feel confident that your privacy is never compromised.

Security Highlights

• Quarterly penetration testing
• Annual external security reviews
• Access logged and monitored continuously
• Incident response with user notifications

Sharing Data with Employers: What They See and When

One of the biggest questions users ask is about what employers get to see. When you apply, employers receive a targeted snapshot of your profile—your relevant skills, experience, and basic contact info. They don’t get your full application history or details from other positions you’ve applied for.

During interviews, employers get access only to info related to their position, never your salary expectations for other jobs or feedback from other interviews. After the process, we share anonymized feedback with employers so they can improve their hiring process without exposing your personal info.

Cookies, Tracking, and Your Choices

Cookies are part of how the internet works, and we use them too—but in a way that respects your preferences. Essential cookies keep the platform running smoothly, like remembering you’re logged in. Analytics cookies help us see which features you use so we can make improvements.

If you want, you can disable marketing cookies—they’re optional and just help personalize your job recommendations. You have control over all this in your browser or through our cookie preferences panel.

How We Handle International Data and Privacy Rights

Since many jobs cross borders, your data sometimes travels internationally. We only do this through approved methods with strict privacy safeguards. Our servers are hosted in secure, certified locations, and we audit partners regularly to keep standards high.

Also, depending on where you live, you might have extra privacy rights. For example, EU users have GDPR protections, while California residents are covered by CCPA. Our platform respects these laws and makes it easy for you to exercise your rights through your account or by contacting our privacy team.
