Coasty Discover conversations

If you choose to use Coasty, our AI assistant, we process your messages and supplied career or hiring preferences to suggest generalized examples and help prepare an inquiry. Our team may review conversations. Do not include sensitive or confidential information.

Conversations, visitor context, tool history, usage and audit records have no fixed automatic deletion period. Session expiry, closing the window or starting a new conversation does not delete stored history. Contact-form intake retains its separate policy described below.

Examples are approved generalized monthly samples, not the complete Coastal inventory or a promise of availability, representation or an introduction. Coasty does not make hiring decisions. Contact forms remain editable and are sent only when you submit them.

What this notice covers

This notice describes Coastal Recruiting’s public marketing website and its inquiry forms. It does not describe every activity in our recruiting business or the signed-in Coastal OS products; separate agreements or notices may apply to those services.

Information you provide

When you contact us, we collect your name, email address, message and inquiry type. Depending on the form, we also collect your company or firm, LinkedIn profile URL, preferred location and selected recruiting practice. A LinkedIn profile is required for candidate inquiries; it is optional for Coastal careers inquiries.

Please provide accurate information and do not include passwords, government identifiers, financial or medical information, or confidential material in a website inquiry.

How inquiries reach our team

We use inquiry information to respond to you, discuss hiring or career interests, evaluate potential working relationships and operate the website. Production submissions are stored in our intake system and formatted and routed by Coasty, our bot, to an internal Coastal communication channel for team review.

This form-delivery workflow is automated routing, not an automated hiring decision. Sending a message does not enroll you in a marketing subscription or create a recruiting or employment agreement.

Service providers and external sites

We use service providers for website hosting, form infrastructure and internal inquiry delivery. Providers process information needed to operate those services, which may involve processing outside your location. Hosting and delivery services may process network and device information, including IP addresses and request logs, for operations and security.

Some public logos and testimonial portraits load from external image hosts. Logo, LinkedIn and other outbound links lead to independently operated websites. Visiting those sites is subject to their own privacy practices and terms.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, people or the security of our services.

Local storage and abuse prevention

The site saves an explicit light/dark theme choice in your browser’s local storage. You can remove it by clearing site data. The current website does not include an advertising or audience-analytics tracker, and the contact workflow does not sell or share form information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Form protection uses a short-lived challenge and hashed IP/email identifiers for rate limiting. Website behavior does not currently change in response to a browser Do Not Track setting. Third-party destinations and image hosts may have their own collection practices.

Retention and security

Website intake records are configured to expire after 30 days, with scheduled cleanup. This is not a promise that every copy is deleted within 30 days: internal messages, follow-up emails, recruiting records, security logs and backups have separate retention arrangements and may need to be kept for ongoing work or legal obligations.

We use access controls and abuse-prevention measures, but no website, transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please avoid sending sensitive information through these forms.

Your choices and privacy questions

You can choose not to submit an inquiry. Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, or to object to or restrict certain uses. Requests may require verification and may be subject to legal exceptions.

For privacy questions or requests, contact hello@coastalrecruiting.co and include ‘Privacy request’ in the subject. Do not send sensitive identity documents with your initial request. We will explain any information needed to respond.

The site is intended for professional audiences and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us. We may update this notice and will publish the current version on this page.
