The short version

Privacy

What we collect

Pasting a recruiter message to get an estimate

This is the paste box on the home screen, where a contract is analysed for the first time. Panya processes the message on its server, removes common contact details, and sends the redacted text to its AI provider to identify contract terms. Panya does not save the original or redacted message in your account, analytics, or request logs — unless you are signed in and explicitly ask it to hold a contract that is waiting on your recruiter. That one case is described below.

Pasting a reply inside a negotiation

Once a negotiation is running, Panya offers a box to paste your recruiter’s reply so it can read what changed. This works differently from the screens above, and the difference matters.

How Panya measures the product

To see where Panya helps and where people get stuck, it records which steps you reach — that a contract was analysed, a comparison was viewed, a negotiation was started. This is a record of what you did, never of what your contract says.

Recording that you finished an analysis is not the same as keeping the analysis. The analysis itself is still not stored unless you ask Panya to hold it.

What “contribute de-identified figures” shares

When you save an offer, Panya asks one question with two answers — “Contribute de-identified figures” or “Don’t contribute” — and then you press Save offer. Neither answer is pre-selected, and the offer saves privately either way. Choosing to contribute creates a separate record built from scratch that contains only:

The contributed record is pseudonymized, not anonymous: Panya keeps a private internal link between you and it, and that link is the only reason you can remove your contribution later. The link is never exposed, and never shown with your data.

That record never contains your name, email, agency, recruiter, facility, notes, offer label, or exact ZIP/address. Benchmarks built from it are shown only at metro level, and only once enough people have contributed, so no single person is identifiable in a benchmark.

What is kept, at a glance

Every row below is a summary of a section above it. Where the two differ, the section is the one to trust.

ActivityWhat is keptRedactionHow you remove it
Initial offer analysisNothing, unless you ask Panya to hold it. A content-free record of the request — hashed device id, hashed IP, message length, token counts, timing, success — is kept for 29 days.Email addresses, phone numbers, links, social handles and obvious signature blocks are removed before the text is sent. Names may remain.Nothing to remove — the message is not saved. The request record deletes itself after 29 days.
Held incomplete offerThe redacted message, what Panya read from it, your answers, and any redacted reply you paste on that screen. Private, tied to your account.The same automatic removal as above.Remove it from My offers, or delete your account.
Negotiation replyThe text exactly as you paste it, including any names, phone numbers or signature blocks. Private, tied to your account.None. Nothing is removed automatically.Delete the negotiation, or delete your account.
ContributionModality, metro area, taxable hourly rate, stipends, call structure, contract length and a coarse date; plus monthly housing cost and housing type if you entered your own.The source text is not contributed. Never your name, email, agency, recruiter, facility, notes, offer label, or exact ZIP/address.“Remove my contributions” in Privacy & data settings, or delete your account.
Product analyticsStep names, counts and yes/no answers. 12 months, then deleted.No pay rate, stipend or package total; no ZIP, city or employer; none of the text you paste.Held by PostHog, and the controls above do not reach it. It deletes itself after 12 months.

Prefer to request removal by email? Contact support. You can also do all of the above yourself, without email — delete an offer from its own page, remove contributions from Account, or delete your account entirely.

What we don’t do

Terms

Payment and refunds

Negotiation access is a one-time charge of $14.99 for 30 days. It is not a subscription — nothing renews, and you will not be charged again unless you choose to buy it again.

If Panya isn't useful to you, contact us within your 30-day access period and we'll refund your purchase in full. We don't offer partial or prorated refunds.

Contact support to ask. A refund ends your negotiation access; the offers and negotiations you saved stay in your account, and you can still delete them yourself at any time.

General terms

Estimates only — not tax or financial advice.
