Terms of Service

The short version

SearchShield helps you run your job search: the companies you want, the people who can help, and who to follow up with each day.

What you put in stays yours. You send every message yourself. You can delete everything at any time.

Use it honestly, and never to bother people who haven't asked to hear from you.

Your account

You sign in with your email address, Google or LinkedIn. One account per person, and keep your sign-in to yourself.

You need to be at least 16 to use SearchShield.

You are responsible for what happens in your account. If you think someone else got in, write to hello@searchshield.app.

What SearchShield does, and what it doesn't

SearchShield suggests who to contact, drafts messages, checks how well you fit a role and rewords your resume for it. These are suggestions. Read them before you use them, because you are responsible for what you send and what you claim.

SearchShield never messages your contacts. You send every message yourself, from your own email or LinkedIn.

We can't promise replies, interviews or offers. No one can.

Your content

Everything you add stays yours: companies, people, notes, history and your resume.

You let us store and process it only to run SearchShield for you. That includes sending parts of it to the services named in our Privacy Policy.

Only add contact details you came by fairly, like your own connections, an alumni list you have access to, or a business card someone handed you.

Fair use

Don't use SearchShield to send spam, harass anyone, or collect people's details for anything other than your own job search.

Don't try to break in, overload the service, copy it, or get around the daily limits.

If an account breaks these rules, we may limit or close it.

Emails

We email you a sign-in link when you ask for one, and a morning list unless you turn it off on the You page.

If you invite a supporter, we only email them after they say yes, and they can stop at any time. Only invite people who would welcome it.

Price

SearchShield is free to use right now. If we add paid plans, we'll tell you first, and you won't be charged unless you choose one.

Ending things

You can delete your account and everything in it at any time from the You page.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. If we ever shut SearchShield down, we'll give you notice and time to export your data first.

Changes

SearchShield will keep changing as we improve it. If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll update the date above and email you before the change takes effect.

The fine print

SearchShield is provided as is. We work hard to keep it running and accurate, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of mistakes.

As far as the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect losses, such as a missed opportunity, and our total responsibility to you is limited to what you've paid us in the past 12 months.
