This deployment is a single-user installation of Counsel, belonging to one person and used to run their own job search. It is not open for sign-up and has no other users.
In a Postgres database hosted by Neon, served from Vercel, both in the United States. Backups are Neon's and inherit the encryption above: a backup of encrypted content is encrypted content.
Connecting a mailbox is optional and off unless you turn it on. If you do, Counsel reads messages relevant to your search so it can file them against the right role, and sends only messages you explicitly press send on. Connecting Drive lets it file your documents into folders you already have.
Google user data is used only to provide those features, is never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to train any model. It is stored under the same encryption as everything else. You can disconnect at any time from Settings, and revoke access in your Google account, which stops it immediately.
Counsel's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Evaluating a role and drafting a document sends the relevant content to Anthropic or Google, decrypted for that request only. Neither provider trains on data sent through their APIs. This is the one place your content leaves the application, and it happens because you asked for something that needs it.
The person this deployment belongs to controls the database and can delete anything in it at any time.
