Who we are
Hired with Ben is run by Hiredwithben Pty Ltd (ACN 704 119 120), Sydney, NSW. Contact us at hiredwithben@gmail.com.
What we collect and why
- Your quiz, under a quiz number. Your answers, your result and any feedback taps, kept under a random quiz number, without your name, email or internet address. We use them to show you your result and to check and improve the quiz. Only totals are ever reported, and groups of fewer than 10 are hidden. Because nothing links your answers to you, we can't find, change or remove them later.
- Totals. We count, in daily totals only, how many people visit and which of our links they came from, how many finish the quiz, how many join the waitlist, how many get each work style, and which "Show ideas for" option is tapped. These totals can't identify anyone.
- Waitlist (only if you choose to join). Your email address, when you asked to join and when you confirmed, and the wording you agreed to, so we can show you asked. We use it only to email you when the Hired with Ben app opens and to send a few job-search tips. It's kept in a separate list and never linked to your quiz.
- On your device. Your browser keeps your quiz number and result for this visit, so you can come back to your results page. We don't use advertising trackers, and we don't use cookies that follow you to other sites.
- Basic technical data. Like every website, our host receives your internet address and browser details when you visit, to deliver the page and keep it secure.
Where it's stored
Your quiz results and our waitlist are kept in two separate databases in Sydney, Australia (Supabase). We send emails with Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES) from its Sydney region. Our website runs on Vercel's Sydney servers, but Vercel may process request details, including your internet address, in the United States, and keeps them for about a day. Only the small team who run Hired with Ben can see this information. We never give your answers or email to employers or recruiters, and we never sell them.
How long we keep it
Waitlist: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, or 12 months after the app opens if you don't create an account, whichever comes first. If you don't confirm your email, we delete it within 30 days. Quiz results: kept under the quiz number, without your name, for as long as they help us improve the quiz. Hosting logs: deleted by our host after about a day.
Your choices
Unsubscribe from any email in one click. To see, correct or delete your email address, email hiredwithben@gmail.com. Your quiz answers can't be traced back to you, so we can't find or remove them. We reply within 30 days, usually much sooner.
18+ only. hireSONA and the waitlist are for people 18 and over.
Complaints
