Privacy Policy

This policy applies to everyone using Silicentra during closed beta: engineers, consultants, recruiters, company members and administrators.

Depending on how you use the platform, Silicentra may hold:

• Account information — name, email address and sign-in credentials handled by our authentication provider
• Engineer professional profile information — headline, summary, career level, availability and visibility settings
• Employment and education information you add
• Skills, tools, protocols, technology nodes, foundries, methodologies and other technical attributes
• Projects and, where you provide them, project descriptions and responsibilities
• Job applications, including any cover note and compensation expectations you choose to share
• Recruiter and company information — company profile, locations, verification submissions and team membership
• Messages exchanged through recruitment conversations tied to a specific role
• Interview workflow information — rounds, scheduling details, candidate responses and interviewer feedback
• Notification and activity information needed to show you what changed
• Technical and security information necessary to operate and protect the service

Silicentra does not ask for payment details, and no subscription or payment features are active during closed beta.

Silicentra is designed to reduce unnecessary identity exposure while allowing relevant professional capabilities to be discovered.

When an engineer chooses anonymous visibility, recruiters and companies may still be able to see professional capability information such as:

• years and level of experience, and career level
• domains, skills, tools and protocols
• technology nodes, foundries and verification methodologies
• chip types, industry verticals and design lifecycle stages
• other technical attributes relevant to matching

Identifying information that is intended to remain private — such as your name, your employer names and your contact details — is not returned by the recruiter-facing anonymous profile interfaces. Anonymous engineers are referenced by an opaque profile reference rather than by an internal account identifier.

Silicentra does not claim that anonymity is absolute. A sufficiently unusual combination of details you publish yourself — for example a very specific project description — may allow a reader to infer who you are. Share detail at the level you are comfortable with.

Read the anonymous profile help page for a plain-English summary of what recruiters see.

• Public — your published profile can be viewed by visitors and appears in the public engineer directory, including your name.
• Registered — your profile is shown to signed-in Silicentra users rather than to anonymous visitors.
• Anonymous — your professional capabilities are discoverable, but identifying information is withheld from recruiter-facing interfaces as described above.
• Hidden — your profile is not surfaced in directories or recruiter search.

You can change your visibility at any time in your engineer profile settings. Changing visibility affects what is shown going forward; it does not retract information a recruiter has already seen or recorded, including in an application or conversation you started.

• To operate your profile, applications, conversations and interview workflows
• To let companies discover relevant candidates according to your visibility settings
• To send in-app notifications about activity that concerns you
• To maintain security, investigate misuse and enforce our terms
• To support you when you contact us

Silicentra does not sell your information.

Recruitment workflows involve sensitive information, which may include employment history, education, professional skills, job applications, recruiter communications, interview records, compensation expectations where you provide them, and private recruiter or interviewer notes.

Access is scoped by role and by context. A company can see applications made to its own roles and candidates it has contacted. Internal recruiter notes and interviewer feedback are not shown to candidates. Conversations are tied to a specific role and are visible to the participants and the relevant company team.

Silicentra runs on third-party infrastructure for hosting, database storage, authentication and email delivery. Those providers process information on our behalf so the service can operate.

Silicentra uses technical and access-control measures intended to protect account and recruitment information. No online service can be guaranteed to be free from risk, and we do not publish detailed security architecture. If you believe an account or data issue exists, contact us so we can investigate.

Silicentra may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, maintain security, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements. Fixed retention periods have not been set during closed beta.

You can edit most profile information yourself at any time. You can also:

• change your profile visibility, including hiding your profile
• withdraw an application you submitted
• submit a privacy or account request — deletion, correction, or a question about stored information — from Privacy & data requests when signed in

During closed beta, deletion and correction requests are handled manually by our team so that recruitment records are not removed in a way that breaks another party's active process.

Silicentra is intended for working professionals and is not directed at children.

We may update this policy as the product develops. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
