This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") explains how Binary collects, uses, and discloses personal information through its online platform (the "Platform"). By using or accessing the Platform in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your personal information in the following ways. Any capitalized terms that are not defined in this Policy are defined in our Terms of Service.
While using our Platform, you will have the opportunity to provide us with certain personal information. In addition, we may collect certain information automatically through your use of the Platform. We will use this information to provide you with the functionality of our Platform, to improve our Platform, and to provide you with information about our Platform.
When you create an account with Binary, we collect basic information such as your name, email address, and password. This information is essential for creating and maintaining your personal account and providing you with a customized experience.
We automatically collect certain information about how you interact with our Platform, including your IP address, browser type, operating system. This helps us understand user behavior and improve our services.
When you communicate with us through our Platform, email, or other channels, we may collect and store that correspondence. This includes any feedback, support requests, or general inquiries you submit to us.
The Platform might use third-party applications to perform tasks and/or to provide certain functionalities. These third-party applications may collect and store your personal information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party applications. For example, we use AWS Cloud to store the files and images that users upload to the Platform.
Where and when required by the law, you have the right to request access, correction or erasure of your personal data. We may need to request information from you to confirm your identity. You can opt-out of receiving promotional communications from us by following the instructions provided in those communications.
We use commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. In addition, we rely on the technical safeguards provided by the third party service providers we use to host, store, and process your personal information. The security of your personal data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure and hence we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We are constantly trying to improve the Platform, so we may need to change this Policy from time to time as well. The date of the last modification will also be posted at the beginning of this Policy. It is your responsibility to check from time to time for updates. By continuing to access or use the Platform, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Policy. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you through the email address you have provided us.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Policy, please send us a message at support@binary.so.
Our Chrome Extension for Binary allows users to add candidates from LinkedIn, Gmail, and X (Twitter) to their Binary workspace. This section describes how the extension collects and uses data.
The extension only extracts data when you explicitly click the “Add to Binary” button while on a supported page. From LinkedIn profiles, we extract the candidate's name only. From Gmail, we extract the sender's name and email address. From X/Twitter profiles, we extract the display name and username. All data extraction happens locally in your browser and is only sent to our Platform when you confirm the submission.
The extension requires certain Chrome permissions to function: “storage” (to remember your workspace and job selection), “activeTab” (to detect which website you're on), “scripting” (to read visible page content when you click the add button), “sidePanel” (to display the extension interface), and “cookies” (to maintain your authenticated session with Binary). The extension only accesses pages on LinkedIn, Gmail, and X/Twitter domains, and only when you navigate to them.
Extracted candidate information is used exclusively to create candidate submissions in your Binary workspace. We do not use this data for any other purpose, including analytics, marketing, or advertising. The extension communicates only with the official Binary API endpoints.
The extension does not share candidate data with any third parties. All extracted data is sent directly to your Binary workspace and follows the same privacy and security practices as data entered manually through the Platform.
The extension uses secure HTTPS connections for all communications with the Binary Platform. Your authentication credentials are handled through the same secure cookie-based system used by the main Platform. No passwords or authentication tokens are stored by the extension itself.
Data extraction only occurs when you explicitly click the extraction button - the extension does not automatically collect data in the background. You can uninstall the extension at any time through Chrome's extension management interface. Uninstalling the extension does not affect candidate data already submitted to your Binary workspace, which remains accessible through the Platform and follows the data retention policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.
