What we collect, and what we do with it

• Forms. When you contact us, pitch a guide, or use the Document Builder, we receive what you enter: usually your name, work email, company, job title, ERP platform and your message or answers.
• Newsletter. Your name, email, company, role, ERP platform and program stage, so we can send the right track. You can unsubscribe from any issue.
• Academy. Your work email, name, company, role and platform, the lessons you complete, your quiz scores and the certificates you earn. Certificates are public by design, so anyone with the link can verify them.
• Podcast guest applications. Your contact details, job title, company, LinkedIn URL, ERP platform, the experience timeline you review and submit, your story, the themes you pick and your availability. We also generate a short internal brief from your application to help plan the conversation.
• Talent profiles. What you put on your profile: headline, summary, location, availability, platforms, roles, skills, certifications and experience. Employers who ask for an introduction give us their name, work email, company and message.
• Sign in with LinkedIn. If you choose it, LinkedIn shares your name, email address, profile photo (headshot) and LinkedIn member ID with us. That is all: LinkedIn does not share your work history or connections. Because LinkedIn photo links expire, we keep a copy of your headshot for your profile.

When you upload a résumé, CV or LinkedIn profile PDF, our server extracts the text, uses it to fill in the form for you to review, and then discards both the file and the text. We never store the file or its full text. Nothing from it is kept unless you review it and submit the form. To prevent abuse we keep a small counter of uploads (a scrambled form of your IP address and, if you gave one, your email), not the content.

• Supabase hosts our database (Academy progress, guest applications, Talent profiles and introduction requests).
• Vercel hosts the website and stores files such as Talent headshots and newsletter sign-up details.
• Resend sends our emails and holds the newsletter mailing list.
• Anthropicprocesses the text of an uploaded résumé to pull out your experience, and the text of a guest application to write the internal brief. It processes that text to return a result; we don’t send it anything else.

These providers handle data on our behalf to run the site. We don’t sell or rent your data to anyone.

Matt sees what you send through the site: forms, sign-ups, guest applications and introduction requests. Because Matt works at ACCELQ, he may follow up with you personally, including from his ACCELQ email (see the disclosure). Your guest application is seen only by Matt.

A Talent profile is public only after you publish it, and you can unpublish or delete it at any time. Employers never see your email address: introduction requests reach you by email, and your address is only revealed if you reply.

We keep your data while you use the site, and for as long as it is useful for the reason you gave it to us: for example, a guest application until the season it was meant for is finished, and a Talent profile until you delete it. Uploaded résumés are never kept. If you ask us to delete your data, we will delete it, except where we need to keep a minimal record (for example, that you unsubscribed, so we don’t email you again).

You can ask us to:

• Access your data: tell you what we hold about you and send you a copy.
• Correct anything that is wrong or out of date.
• Delete your data.

Email matt.angerer@screenforgelabs.com or use the contact form, and say what you’d like done. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter with the link in any issue, and edit, unpublish or delete your Talent profile yourself from your profile page.

We use session cookies only: one keeps you signed in to the Academy, and one keeps you signed in to your Talent profile. We don’t use advertising or tracking cookies. Your browser also remembers a few conveniences on your own device (for example, which ERP platform you picked, or a half-finished form), which never leave your browser.

Matt is a Senior Test Automation Advisor at ACCELQ. ACCELQ does not sponsor, endorse or run this site. Read the full disclosure.

If we change how we handle your data, we will update this page and the date at the top.
