Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 September 2026

This policy explains what information FastPlaced stores, what it processes only temporarily, and the choices you have.

Who we are

FastPlaced is operated in the United Kingdom by the individual responsible for the FastPlaced service. For privacy-related enquiries, contact hello@fastplaced.com.

A. Account and business information we store

  • Your name, email address and sign-in details (passwords are handled by our authentication provider and never visible to us).
  • Your organisation, role, recruiter licence and invitation records.
  • Subscription status, licence quantity and billing status (not full card details).
  • Account settings, accepted terms version and, if set up, organisation CV branding (template choices, accent colour and logo).
  • Usage counts, security and audit records described in section F.

B. Temporary processing of recruitment documents

When you use FastPlaced, CVs, job descriptions and related text are processed temporarily to carry out the task you request, such as analysis, matching or drafting. FastPlaced does not keep a permanent candidate or job database.

Uploaded files, extracted text, profiles, match results and generated documents are held in your temporary workspace only. You can clear it at any time and it is cleared when you sign out. To carry out a task, the relevant content is sent to our AI and research providers (section H).

Your organisation is responsible for having a lawful basis to process candidate and job information in FastPlaced. For that content we act on your behalf; see our draft Data Processing Addendum.

C. Billing and payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. Stripe collects your card details and billing address; we receive subscription, invoice and payment status information but not full card numbers.

D. Authentication

Sign-in uses email and password or Google. We use your email address to verify your account, reset your password and keep one active session per account.

E. Account emails

We send emails about your account, such as verification, password reset, invitations, payment and licence changes, renewal reminders and usage warnings. These emails contain account and billing information only, never recruitment content. They are not marketing emails.

F. Usage, security and technical records

We record usage counts, rate limits, sign-in sessions, billing events and administrative actions to run the service, enforce fair use and keep it secure. These records do not contain recruitment content.

G. Local folder search

If you search a folder on your own device, its documents are read in your browser for that search and are not uploaded into FastPlaced storage. The text needed for a match may be sent to our AI provider for that request only. Your browser may remember the folder connection so you don't need to reselect it; that record stays on your device.

G2. Saved Business Development searches

Saving a Business Development search is optional and only happens when you choose Save Search. We then store a structured snapshot of the market search criteria, hiring companies, Hiring Signals and vacancy details (titles, employers, locations, posted dates, salary text and the advert's source link) so you can reopen it.

Raw page contents are not retained, and this feature does not store named decision-maker or contact records or outreach drafts. A saved search is visible only to the recruiter who saved it and remains until that recruiter deletes it, or according to any retention policy formally agreed later.

H. Service providers

  • Hosting, database and authentication infrastructure.
  • AI model providers, used to analyse and draft content for requested tasks.
  • Web research services, used for live research features.
  • Stripe, for payments and billing.
  • An email delivery service, for account emails.

I. How long we keep information

Recruitment content is not kept after your temporary workspace is cleared, except Business Development searches you deliberately save (section G2). Account, billing, usage and security records are kept only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, including legal and accounting obligations.

J. Your rights and how to contact us

Depending on where you are, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict use of your personal information, to object, and to data portability. Email hello@fastplaced.com to make a request. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

If you are a candidate whose details were processed by a recruiter using FastPlaced, please contact that recruiter first, as they control that information.

K. Cookies and browser storage

We use only necessary browser storage to keep you signed in and to run the app. See our Cookie Policy.
