Privacy & Data Policy

We keep it to what we need to show you your number and help you negotiate:

• Account: your email address (and, if you sign in with Google, your basic Google account identity). We do not receive or store your password.
• What you tell the intake: your job title, city/state, level, years of experience, employment status, current or prior salary, and any context you volunteer (e.g. bonus or equity notes).
• Your résumé (optional):if you share it to speed up the intake, we extract the job facts (title, city, level, experience, employer, industry) and show them to you before they’re used. The file itself is read once, in memory, and never stored — and we never extract your name, contact details, or anything about who you are. Correcting a fact in the chat always wins over the document.
• Skills & credentials (optional): during the intake you can tap certifications or specialties that apply to you (say, CCRN or full-cycle recruiting), or add one in your own words. They strengthen the wording of your negotiation script and join the anonymous aggregate insights below — they never change your number, which is computed without them.
• Your employer (optional):if you choose to share it, your company’s name. It’s never required, it’s never used to set your number, and it’s never shown tied to you — it only enriches the anonymous, aggregated insights below.
• Your plan & outcomes: the market band and target we computed, the script we generated, and — if you choose to report back — what you asked for and what you landed.
• Optional contributions: a salary you add to the anonymous pool (optionally with your employer), or an offer/raise letter you upload to verify a win.
• Race/ethnicity (optional):after your plan, you can choose to self-identify — one tap, or “prefer not to say.” It never influences your number (which is computed before the question is shown), it’s only ever used in anonymous group statistics of five or more, and it’s deleted with your account.
• Coaching (optional): if you book a paid session, your booking and preferred times. Payment card details go directly to our payment processor — Págame never sees or stores your card number.
• Product analytics:first-party, privacy-minimal event counts (e.g. “started intake”) so we can see where the experience can improve. No third-party trackers, no ad pixels, no cross-site tracking.
• How you found us:if you arrive through a partner’s link or another woman’s share link, we remember that source so we can credit them. A woman who shares her link only ever sees a count of women who finished with it — never who you are, and never anything about you.

What we deliberately never collect: your gender, age, disability, health, or any other sensitive characteristic — with the single, optional exception above: race/ethnicity, only if you choose to share it, and only after your number exists. The pay engine is designed so it cannot receive any of these — including race, even when you share it.

• To compute your gender-blind market band and target from U.S. government wage data.
• To write you a negotiation script anchored to that number.
• To let you report and (optionally) verify your outcome, and to remind you to come back.
• To build the anonymous, aggregate salary insights that make the next woman’s case stronger.
• To operate, secure, and improve the service, and to communicate with you about it.

We do not use your personal information for advertising, and we do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you without a human in the loop.

We’re transparent about this: RITA AI — our conversational assistant, Rita (powered by Anthropic) — runs the friendly intake, maps your job title to an occupation, and drafts your script. Your salary number itself is not written by AI — it’s computed by a fixed, deterministic formula from public government wage data, the same way for everyone.

Crucially, gender is never sent to the AI or to the engine — and neither is your employer. Your number is the market rate for your role, so where you happen to work can never drag it down. The AI is never allowed to propose or lower a salary figure. You can always reach a human at hello@pagame.ai.

• Encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest.
• Strict per-user access controls (row-level security) so you can only ever see your own data.
• Anonymized salary pool:contributed salaries are stored detached from your name, and “women like you” figures are only shown once at least 5 women are in a group (k-anonymity).
• Offer letters: stored in a private bucket, shown only to our reviewer via short-lived links, and deleted after we verify them.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we never share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Aggregated, de-identified insights. Part of how we keep Págame free is by selling and licensing aggregated market insights — for example, the median pay for an occupation in a metro, by level — to third parties, which may include compensation and HR data platforms and employers. These insights are de-identified and aggregated so they cannot identify youor reveal any individual’s figures (never fewer than 5 people in a group). Where an insight is broken down by employer, we apply an even stricter minimum group size and will suppress or roll up any cut that could single out a person or a specific woman at a company. We commit not to re-identify this data and require anyone we share it with to do the same. Under privacy law this is not a sale of your personal information — it’s the same kind of market data your own number is built from.

We use a small set of trusted service providers (“subprocessors”) to run the product. They may process your data only to provide their service to us, under contract:

• Supabase — authentication, database, and file storage
• Vercel — website hosting
• Anthropic — the conversational AI (never receives your gender)
• Resend — sending you email (sign-in links, reminders, and follow-ups after you get your number — every follow-up carries a one-click unsubscribe)
• Stripe — processing coaching payments (they handle your card, not us)
• Calendly — scheduling a coaching session, and taking payment for it, whenever you book through our scheduling link
• Google — only if you choose “Sign in with Google”

We also use public U.S. government data (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Census) to compute wage benchmarks — that’s a data source, and no personal information about you is sent to them. We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect rights and safety.

We honor these rights for everyone, not just residents of states that require them:

• Know & access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Delete your data and close your account.
• Get a copy (portability) of the data you provided.
• Opt out of any sale or sharing — though we do neither.
• Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

To exercise any right, email hello@pagame.ai from your account email and we’ll take care of it. You may use an authorized agent, and you can appeal a decision by replying to us.

We use only first-party cookies: the essential ones that keep you signed in and secure, and — if you arrive through a partner’s or another woman’s share link — one that remembers that source so we can credit them. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

We keep your account data while your account is active. Offer letters are deleted after verification. When you ask us to delete your account, we remove your personal information, except anonymized, aggregated figures that no longer identify you and anything we’re legally required to keep.

Págame is for adults (18+) navigating their careers and is not directed to children. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

Págame is a U.S. service and your data is processed in the United States by us and our subprocessors.

If we make a material change, we’ll update the date above and, where appropriate, let you know. The current version always lives at this page.

Págame is operated by Págame Project, LLC (Illinois, USA). Questions, requests, or concerns? Email hello@pagame.ai. We read every message.
