Your LinkedIn profile data is processed by the following AI services to generate your results:

Your profile data is sent to these AI providers via their APIs for processing. Both Anthropic and Google have data processing agreements in place. Your data is used solely for generating your results and is not used to train AI models, as per the API terms of both providers.

We do not send any identifying information (such as your name or email) to AI providers. Only the profile text content is transmitted for analysis.
