Overview
Authority Profile™ ("we," "us," "our") is a service of Stop Sending Resumes, operated at stopsendingresumes.com. We build personal authority websites, resumes, and LinkedIn audits for professionals. This policy explains what information we collect when you use our site, request an audit, or become a client, and how we handle it.
This policy covers stopsendingresumes.com and its subpages. It does not cover third-party sites we link to or embed forms from (see "Sharing & third-party services" below).
Information we collect
We collect information directly from you and, for paid engagements, from the materials you provide to build your deliverables.
| Category | Examples | When collected |
|---|---|---|
| Contact information | Name, email address, phone number | Audit request, onboarding form, booking a call |
| Professional materials | LinkedIn profile (PDF export or URL), resume, headshot, career history | Audit request, onboarding, client deliverable production |
| Payment information | Billing details, transaction records | Purchasing a plan (processed by our payment provider — we do not store full card numbers) |
| Usage data | Pages visited, referring links, general device/browser info | Automatically, while browsing the site |
| Communications | Emails, form submissions, call notes | Whenever you contact us or we deliver work to you |
How we use your information
We use the information collected to:
- Produce the deliverables you've requested — audits, resumes, authority profile pages
- Communicate with you about your order, audit results, or account
- Process payments and manage billing for paid plans
- Improve our site, templates, and service quality
- Send occasional marketing or product emails, which you can opt out of at any time
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms
The free LinkedIn audit specifically
Our free audit asks you to submit your LinkedIn profile, typically as a PDF export, along with your name and email. That material is used solely to produce your scored audit report. We do not scrape or access LinkedIn on your behalf beyond what you submit, and we do not sell or share your LinkedIn content with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
/audit/[your-name]/ are marked non-indexable and are not intended to appear in search engines. Do not share the link publicly unless you want others to see it — anyone with the direct link can view it.Sharing & third-party services
We don't sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to operate the service, with providers bound by their own confidentiality and data-protection obligations:
- GoHighLevel (GHL) — our CRM and forms platform. Contact details and form submissions (audit requests, onboarding, bookings) are processed through GHL.
- Payment processor — used to process plan purchases; we do not store full payment card numbers ourselves.
- Hosting provider (Netlify) — hosts our website infrastructure.
- Email/communication tools — used to send audit results, receipts, and service updates.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.
Data retention
We retain your information for as long as needed to provide the service and for a reasonable period afterward for support, legal, and record-keeping purposes. Client deliverables (resumes, profile pages, audits) may remain live on our hosting infrastructure as part of your ongoing plan. If you cancel or request deletion, we will remove or de-identify your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, except where we're required to retain it by law.
Your rights & choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in those emails. Opting out of marketing does not affect service-related communications (like delivering your audit or order updates).
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including access controls and secure hosting. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.
Children's privacy
Our services are intended for professionals and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Material changes will be reflected on this page; continued use of our services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
