Calis Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 22, 2026

Calis is an early-stage career discovery product operated by Harry Holland under the name Calis. This Privacy Policy explains how Calis collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use our website, product, surveys, emails, career blueprints, or related services.

For purposes of applicable privacy laws, Harry Holland / Calis is the data controller for personal information collected through Calis.

If you have questions or requests, contact us at: harry@calis.careers.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, information generated through your use of Calis, and limited technical information collected automatically.

Information you provide

We may collect:

  • Email address, including for product access, follow-up, updates, feedback requests, payment confirmation, and support.
  • Aspiration text and career-preference inputs, including free-text responses, chip selections, goals, interests, preferences, and other information you submit while using Calis.
  • Experience data, including resume uploads, pasted resume text, work history, education history, skills, projects, certifications, and related background information.
  • Survey and feedback responses, including responses submitted through feedback forms or user research tools.
  • Payment information, such as your email address, payment status, amount paid, any promo code used, date, and payment-processor transaction identifiers. Card details are collected by Stripe, not by Calis (see "Payment information" below).

Resume and experience data may contain sensitive personal information, such as location, employment history, education history, immigration-related details, demographic information, or other information included in a resume. Please do not upload information you do not want Calis to process.

Information generated by Calis

We may create or store:

  • Generated career profiles
  • Career matches
  • Career worlds
  • Career blueprints
  • AI-generated summaries, rankings, recommendations, and explanations
  • Derived structured data based on your aspirations, selections, resume, or experience data
  • Aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified career-path insights and datasets

Usage, analytics, and technical data

We may collect limited technical and usage information, including:

  • Session tokens
  • Funnel events
  • Page views
  • Product interactions
  • Device and browser information
  • Approximate location or IP address through hosting, database, analytics, or server logs
  • Error logs and performance data

Calis may use browser storage, including sessionStorage, to maintain a temporary session token. Calis may also use an admin cookie for administrative access. We use the Meta Pixel for advertising and conversion measurement (see Sections 7 and 12).

Approximate location for job listings

If you view live job openings in a paid career blueprint, Calis uses your approximate location (your US state), which our hosting provider infers from your IP address when you load the page, to show openings near you. We use it only to choose and label those listings. We do not save it to your profile or link it to your account. If we can't tell your state, we show openings from across the US.

Payment information

Calis charges a one-time early-access payment for a career blueprint. The price is shown before you pay, and promo codes may reduce it.

Payments are processed by Stripe. Your card or other payment details go directly to Stripe. Calis does not receive or store full card numbers, bank account numbers, or full payment card details. We store limited payment records, such as your email address, payment status, amount paid, any promo code used, date, and Stripe transaction identifiers.

Complimentary or manually arranged access may occasionally be confirmed through Venmo.

2. How We Collect Information

We collect information:

  • Directly from you through forms, uploads, pasted text, selections, surveys, payment confirmations, and emails.
  • Automatically through product analytics, hosting logs, database logs, server logs, and browser storage.
  • From service providers that help us operate Calis, such as hosting, database, AI processing, payment, survey, email, and job-listing tools.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Provide and operate Calis.
  • Generate career profiles, career matches, career worlds, and career blueprints.
  • Parse resumes, pasted resume text, work history, education, and related experience data.
  • Personalize or improve generated outputs.
  • Follow up with users, send product updates, request feedback, or provide support.
  • Confirm payment status and provide paid early-access deliverables.
  • Show live job openings relevant to your path in a paid career blueprint.
  • Send you a one-time follow-up email about the career blueprint if you explored your results but did not buy (see Section 11).
  • Understand product usage and improve the user experience.
  • Measure funnel performance and validation-stage conversion.
  • Debug, secure, and maintain the service.
  • Develop, improve, and evaluate Calis, including by creating aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized career-path datasets, matching logic, product insights, and proprietary research assets.

Calis may use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized information to build proprietary career-path datasets, improve matching logic, improve product quality, evaluate career-market patterns, and support future product development. We do not use anonymized information to identify you.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where required by law, our legal bases may include:

  • Providing the service you requested.
  • Your consent, such as when you submit information, upload a resume, request follow-up, or pay for early access.
  • Legitimate interests, including product improvement, analytics, security, debugging, user support, fraud prevention, and validation-stage research.
  • Compliance with legal obligations, if applicable.

5. Resume and Experience Data

Resume uploads, pasted resume text, work history, education history, and related experience data may contain personal or sensitive information.

When you submit resume or experience data to Calis:

  • We may send that data to a third-party AI provider, including Anthropic, to parse, summarize, analyze, and generate career-related outputs.
  • We may store the original submission and generated or derived outputs in our database.
  • We may use the information to generate your career blueprint or other career-discovery outputs.
  • We may retain anonymized, aggregated, or de-identified derivations after deleting the original personal information, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
  • We may use de-identified or anonymized derivations to improve Calis and build proprietary career-path datasets, models, research assets, and matching systems.

Please do not upload a resume or other file unless you are comfortable with Calis and its subprocessors processing that information.

6. Third-Party Service Providers and Subprocessors

Calis uses third-party service providers to operate the product. Your information may be processed by these providers as needed to provide the service.

Current or expected providers include:

  • Anthropic — AI processing of aspirations, resume data, experience data, and generation of career outputs. User data may be sent to Anthropic’s large language model systems for processing.
  • Supabase — database, authentication/session-related infrastructure, storage, logs, and related backend services.
  • Vercel — website hosting, deployment, serverless functions, logs, and related infrastructure.
  • Resend — transactional and product-related email.
  • Stripe — payment processing. Stripe collects your payment details and email address to process your payment and prevent fraud, under Stripe's own privacy policy.
  • Adzuna — source of job listings and job-listing counts. When we fetch listings, we send Adzuna the role title and, if known, your approximate US state. We never send your name, email address, resume, or other personal information. When you click "View & apply", you leave Calis for Adzuna's website and then the employer's or recruiter's website, which collect information under their own privacy policies.
  • Tally — surveys, feedback forms, and validation-stage research.
  • Venmo — manual payment confirmation for occasional complimentary or manually arranged access.
  • Meta (Facebook/Instagram) — advertising, measurement, and conversion tracking. The Meta Pixel may collect usage and event information, such as page views, form submissions, and conversions, and share it with Meta to measure and improve our advertising. When you provide your email address, we may also share a hashed (irreversible) version of it with Meta to match conversions and reach relevant audiences. We do not share your raw email address with Meta for advertising.

These providers may process personal information according to their own terms, privacy policies, and data-processing commitments.

7. We Do Not Sell Personal Data

Calis does not sell your personal information.

We use advertising and measurement tools, including the Meta Pixel, that may share certain usage and event information, including a hashed (irreversible) version of your email address, with partners such as Meta to measure and improve our advertising. Under some privacy laws, including California law, this may be considered sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell your personal information for money. To opt out of this advertising-related sharing, contact us at harry@calis.careers.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide Calis.
  • Generate and maintain access to career blueprints or other outputs.
  • Follow up with users.
  • Improve and validate the product.
  • Maintain payment confirmations, product analytics, and support records.
  • Debug, secure, and operate the service.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

Because Calis is currently in a validation phase, retention periods may evolve as the product matures.

You may request deletion of your personal information by contacting harry@calis.careers. After receiving a deletion request, we will delete or de-identify personal information where reasonably possible, subject to legal, security, fraud-prevention, backup, payment-record, or operational retention needs.

We may retain aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information that no longer identifies you.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. These may include encryption in transit, access controls, database security rules, limited administrative access, and Supabase row-level security where implemented.

No online service can guarantee complete security. You use Calis at your own risk, and you should not submit information you consider highly sensitive unless you are comfortable with the risks of online processing.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate information.
  • Delete your personal information.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Opt out of certain communications.
  • Request information about how your personal information is used or shared.

To exercise these rights, contact harry@calis.careers.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

11. Email Communications

If you provide your email address, we may use it to send product access links, a recap of your results, career blueprint delivery messages, payment-related messages, feedback requests, and support replies.

If you explore your results but don't buy a career blueprint, we may send you one promotional follow-up email about the blueprint, which may include a discount code.

Every promotional email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also opt out of non-essential emails by contacting us at harry@calis.careers. We honor opt-out requests promptly, and within 10 business days. We may still send messages needed to deliver something you bought or asked for.

12. Cookies and Local Storage

Calis may use local storage, session storage, first-party analytics, and limited cookies to operate and improve the product.

This may include:

  • A sessionStorage token to maintain your product session.
  • An admin cookie for administrative access.
  • First-party analytics or event tracking to understand product usage and funnel performance.

We use the Meta Pixel, a third-party advertising and measurement tool, which may set cookies and collect event information to measure our advertising performance and help us reach relevant audiences. We do not use other third-party advertising networks at this time.

When you click a job listing, you leave Calis. Adzuna and the employer's or recruiter's website may set their own cookies and collect information under their own policies.

13. Children’s Privacy

Calis is not intended for children under 18.

By using Calis, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. If we learn that we collected personal information from someone under 18, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

14. International Users and Transfers

Calis is operated from the United States and uses service providers that may process information in the United States or other countries.

If you access Calis from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries that may have privacy laws different from those in your country.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Calis changes. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may provide additional notice where appropriate.

Your continued use of Calis after an updated Privacy Policy is posted means you acknowledge the updated policy.
