This page explains how to delete your Olive Jobs account and the data associated with it. It applies to the Olive Jobs mobile app (iOS and Android) and the Olive Jobs website.

If you can sign in, you can delete your account at any time, and it takes effect immediately:

  1. Open Olive Jobs (the app, or olive.jobs) and sign in.
  2. On the web: go to Settings → Privacy & Security (Privacy & Security settings) and find the Danger Zone section. In the mobile app: open the account menu, choose Account Settings, and scroll to the Session section.
  3. Choose Delete account and confirm. On the web, you are asked to type the email address on your account to confirm — or the word DELETE if your account has no email address on file.

Your account is closed immediately and you are signed out. Before deleting, you can use Export My Data — under Download My Data on the web, or Your data in the mobile app — to have a copy of your information sent to you as a one-time download link by email.

If your account is part of a school or organization on Olive — for example, an account you signed in with through your school, or one invited into an organization — self-service deletion is turned off while you're a member. Ask an organization admin to remove you from the organization (or email [email protected]); after that, Option 1 works as described.

Option 2 — Request deletion if you can't sign in

If you have uninstalled the app or can no longer access your account, you can ask us to delete it:

  • Email [email protected] with the word "Delete" in the subject.
  • Send your request from the email address associated with your account.

Nearly every Olive Jobs account is tied to an email address — either the address from the sign-in provider you used (Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, or, in the mobile apps, Apple) or the address you had a one-time sign-in code sent to. We use that address to verify your identity before deleting, and we may ask you to confirm an account detail first. We complete verified deletion requests as soon as possible, and within 30 days at the latest.

If you only ever used Olive Jobs as a guest, without signing in, that session has no email address attached and we cannot locate it from an email address. If you can still open Olive Jobs in the app or browser you used, you are still signed in to that guest session and Option 1 will delete it. Otherwise, contact us at [email protected] and we will help identify it if we can.

What gets deleted

Deleting your account removes your sign-in credentials, so you can no longer sign in and neither can anyone else. If you signed in with Apple, we also revoke Olive's Sign in with Apple grant.

We then remove or replace the information on your account record that identifies you, including your name, email address, profile photo, phone number, external profile links (such as LinkedIn, GitHub, and portfolio URLs), saved location preferences, device records, and demographic answers.

What we may retain

Your remaining account record — preferences, activity, and similar signals — is kept under an internal account identifier rather than your name or email address, which we have removed from it. We may retain that information indefinitely for analytics, service improvement, model improvement, and research, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Content you uploaded or generated — resume files and other uploads, generated documents, chat and interview transcripts, and voice recordings — is not automatically purged when you delete your account, and those files still contain whatever personal information you put into them. To have that content fully erased, email [email protected]; verified full-erasure requests are reviewed and carried out by an administrator.

If you submitted an application to an employer through Olive, that employer's record of your application — including the name, contact details, and documents you supplied with it — is the employer's record of a candidate and is not removed by deleting your Olive account.

We may also retain a limited amount of information where necessary for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or accounting purposes. Backup copies are purged on a rolling schedule.
