Privacy & your data
How WeraConnect and Wera, its assistant, handle your data. Plain words, no small print. Last updated 4 November 2026.
What WeraConnect keeps
Your account (name, email, optional phone), your CV and what Wera reads from it, the links and job interests you give, answers you choose to save for forms (like expected salary), the jobs you save, and your applications with any replies you log.
What WeraConnect never keeps
Your passwords for job sites — you log in to those yourself, in your own browser. Your ID numbers (national ID, passport, KRA PIN): Wera leaves those fields for you every time, never saves them and never sends them to the AI. Your Wera password is stored only as a one-way hash.
How the AI is used
To read your CV, compare it with jobs, and tailor it — using only what's true in your CV. Wera never invents experience or skills, never answers questions about your gender, ethnicity, disability or similar, and never ticks agreements for you.
Nothing is sent without you
Wera prepares every application; you see exactly what will go out, and it is sent only when you tap Send now or Submit now — every time.
Only if you add it: Wera stores your LinkedIn address to put on applications. It never logs in to or scrapes your LinkedIn.
Who sees your data
You — and, only to run and improve the service, the small WeraConnect team. It isn't sold, and it isn't shared with employers or advertisers. Your data is stored in a managed Postgres database, and the AI provider processes your CV text only to do the tasks above.
Your messages to Wera
The WeraConnect team may read questions and messages sent to Wera — on WhatsApp and on the website — to fix what Wera gets wrong and to keep the service working. They are never published.
Applications Wera sends for you
If you tap Send now, Wera emails your tailored CV, cover letter and message to the address in the job advert, through our email provider (Resend). You see exactly what will be sent first, and nothing is sent without your tap. The employer sees your name and your email address so they can reply to you directly; you get a copy. We keep a record of when and where each application was sent.
Application forms Wera fills in for you
If you tap Apply for me, Wera opens the employer's application form from our server, reads its questions and fills in what your CV and your saved answers cover. It asks you the rest, shows you every answer, and submits only when you tap Submit now — your tailored CV is attached at that moment, not before. Personal questions (gender, date of birth, disability and similar) and declarations are always asked, never answered for you; ID numbers are never taken; and Wera never tries to pass an "I'm not a robot" check. The employer's site receives what the form asks for, under its own privacy policy. We keep the answers that were sent and when; the pictures of the form are sent to you and not kept.
Job-board accounts you connect
Some jobs are applied for inside your own account on a job board (BrighterMonday first). If you choose to connect it, you type your email and password on a simple WeraConnect form (or on the job board's own page, shown to you live from our server), and Wera enters them into the job board's own sign-in page once. Your password is never stored, never logged and never sent on WhatsApp. We keep only the signed-in session the site gives the browser, encrypted, for 30 days, so Wera can fill in applications for you — each one still needs your tap on Submit now. Send disconnect on WhatsApp to delete it at once. Google, Facebook and LinkedIn sign-ins are never connected.
Voice notes
If you send Wera a voice note on WhatsApp, the recording is sent to our AI provider (OpenAI) to be turned into text. We keep the text like any other message you type; we do not keep the recording. Anything you say about your experience is shown back to you before it is saved for your CV.
Job adverts you send
A job link, pasted advert or picture you send is stored as a job. A link to a complete advert is shown to other job seekers too; pictures and pasted adverts stay visible only to you until the team has checked them. Other people see the advert, never that you sent it.
Payments
If you pay for a CV, the payment is made with M-Pesa through IntaSend, our payment provider: Wera sends a payment prompt to the number you choose and you enter your PIN on your own phone — Wera never sees or asks for your PIN. We keep what we need for your receipts and refunds: the amount, what it paid for, the M-Pesa number the prompt went to, the M-Pesa code and when. IntaSend and Safaricom handle the payment under their own privacy policies.
Deleting
Profile → Delete account removes your account and everything in it, immediately. Payment records are kept as long as the law requires for business records.
