This policy explains what data we collect and what we do with it. We're not going to bury the important stuff in legal jargon. If you have questions, email privacy@tryme.com.
The Short Version
- We collect what we need to run the service—your name, email, profile info
- We don't sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers
- We share your info with companies only when you apply to their roles
- We use cookies for basics like keeping you logged in
- You can delete your account and we'll delete your data
What We Collect
When you create an account
Name, email address, and a password. If you're a candidate, we also collect professional information like your experience, skills, and portfolio links. If you're a company, we collect business name, website, and team member information.
When you apply to a role or post one
For candidates: your application materials, cover letters, and any responses to screening questions. For companies: role details, project descriptions, and compensation information.
During trials
Communication between candidates and companies goes through our platform. We store messages, check-in notes, and evaluation information to facilitate the trial process and handle any disputes.
Payment information
Payment details are processed by Stripe—we don't store your card number or bank account details. We do keep records of transactions for tax and accounting purposes.
When you use the site
Basic analytics: what pages you visit, how you found us, what browser you're using. We use this to improve the site, not to build a profile on you.
How We Use It
Your information is used to:
- Run your account and process applications
- Connect you with companies or candidates during trials
- Process payments and payouts
- Send you application updates and trial notifications
- Respond when you contact us
- Improve the site based on how people use it
- Send occasional emails about TryMe (you can unsubscribe)
- Prevent fraud and abuse
Who We Share It With
Companies you apply to
When you apply to a trial role, the company sees your profile, application, and any materials you submit. If you're selected for a trial, they get your contact information for coordination.
Candidates who apply
If you're a company, you see candidate profiles and applications for your roles. You also get contact information for candidates you're actively trialing.
Service providers
We use a handful of services to run TryMe:
- Stripe for payments—they process payment info
- Email service for sending notifications
- Analytics for understanding site usage
- Hosting for running the website
These services only get what they need to do their job. They can't use your data for their own purposes.
Legal requirements
If we get a valid legal request (court order, subpoena), we may have to share your information. We'll tell you if we can.
Nobody else
We don't sell your data. We don't share your info with advertisers. We don't let random third parties access your information.
Cookies
We use cookies for:
- Keeping you logged in
- Remembering your preferences
- Basic analytics (page views, traffic sources)
We don't use cookies to track you around the internet or serve you targeted ads. Most browsers let you disable cookies if you want, but some parts of TryMe won't work properly without them.
Your Rights
Access your data
Want to know what we have on you? Email us and we'll send you a copy.
Fix your data
If something's wrong, you can update most of it in your account settings. For anything else, contact us.
Delete your data
You can delete your account from your settings. We'll delete your personal information, though we may keep some records for legal and business purposes (like transaction history for tax records).
Opt out of emails
Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link. You'll still get emails about your applications and trials—those aren't optional.
Data Security
We use encryption for data in transit and at rest. We limit who on our team can access your data. We don't store credit card numbers—Stripe handles that.
No system is perfectly secure. If we ever have a breach that affects you, we'll let you know.
Data Retention
We keep your account data as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your personal information within 30 days, though we may retain some data for legal compliance (like tax records for completed payments).
Trial records and reviews are retained even after account deletion since they involve multiple parties and may be needed for dispute resolution.
Children
TryMe isn't for people under 18. We don't knowingly collect data from minors. If you're a parent and think your kid signed up, let us know and we'll delete the account.
Changes
We might update this policy. When we do, we'll change the date at the top. For big changes, we'll email you. Keep using TryMe after changes means you accept them.
California Privacy Rights
If you're in California, you have additional rights under the CCPA:
- Right to know what personal information we collect
- Right to delete your personal information
- Right to opt-out of sale of personal information (we don't sell it anyway)
- Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights
