Third-Party Services
We share limited data with the following third-party service providers solely to operate the Service:
| Provider | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic | AI resume analysis and match insight generation | Resume text, job description excerpts |
| Resend | Transactional email delivery (digests, sign-in links) | Email address, email content |

All third-party providers are contractually required to use your data only for the purposes we specify and to maintain appropriate security standards. We do not authorize any third-party provider to use your personal data for their own marketing or purposes.
We do not share your personal information with employers, recruiters, data brokers, advertisers, or any other third parties not listed above.
Section 05
AI Processing & Your Resume
Pivot's core functionality relies on AI processing of your resume. Here is exactly what happens:
- At upload: Your resume PDF is converted to text and stored in our database. The text is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate a structured professional profile (job categories, seniority level, skills, and experience summary). This profile is cached and used for all subsequent matching.
- At each digest: Your structured profile is scored against every active job in our database using our matching algorithm. No additional API call is made to third parties at this stage — matching runs on our infrastructure using your cached profile.
- For Pro insights: When generating "Why you stand out" and "To close the gap" insights, excerpts of your resume profile and the relevant job description are sent to Anthropic's API to generate the insight text.
Your resume text is never sent to employers, shared publicly, or used for any purpose other than generating your job matches and insights.
Section 06
