Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 20, 2026.

OutsideDirectors.org ("we", "us") provides resume feedback for prospective Outside Directors and Proxy Holders. Monoc Securities LLC ("Monoc") is the operator of this service and the controller of the personal data described in this policy. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of DCSA.

Information we collect

  • Contact details you provide: full name, email, phone, and optional company/affiliation.
  • Your resume: the file you upload or the text you paste, and the text extracted from it.
  • Target-board details if you request a board-opportunity-targeted rewrite: the company name, its website address, and any board-opportunity or director-criteria description you paste.
  • Purchase records if you buy a rewrite or candidacy letter (handled by Stripe; we never receive your full card number).
  • Limited technical data such as IP address, used for security and rate limiting.
  • Placement inquiries from companies seeking directors: contact details and opportunity information you provide, used only to respond to your inquiry and delivered to us by email.

How we use it

  • To analyze your resume and generate your feedback.
  • To produce a rewritten resume (and, if you add it, a board candidacy letter) if you purchase one, and to deliver it.
  • Company research (board-targeted rewrite). When you request a board-opportunity-targeted rewrite, our servers fetch the target company's own public website to build context (industry, strategy, governance profile, products, customers). We fetch only the company site you provide, store the extracted context encrypted, and cache it briefly. This context guides emphasis and language only — it never adds a fact about you.
  • To contact you about your review and related services.
  • Board placement services. Monoc provides Outside Director and Proxy Holder placement services to FOCI-mitigated companies. We may retain your resume and contact information to consider you for board placement opportunities and to contact you when an opportunity may fit your background. We will not present your resume to a company without speaking with you first.
  • Market research. We use submissions internally to understand the qualifications, experience, and readiness of the Outside Director and Proxy Holder candidate market. Insights we publish or share are aggregated and never identify you.
  • Email updates (with easy opt-out). We add submitters to our email list for information relevant to Outside Directors and Proxy Holders supporting cleared companies — regulatory developments, governance resources, and Monoc activities such as the FOCI Leadership Forum, our members-only community for active Outside Directors and Proxy Holders of FOCI-mitigated companies. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and opting out never affects your feedback or any purchase.
  • To operate, secure, and improve the service.

Sharing. Your resume and contact information are retained by Monoc for the purposes above. Your resume content is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) solely to generate your feedback and any purchased rewrite. During a purchased rewrite, limited resume-derived queries (such as employer names) may be processed through our AI provider's web-search tool to verify publicly available employer context. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your resume with third parties without your consent.

Service providers (processors)

We use a small number of service providers to operate the service. Each processes your data only on our behalf and only to provide its function:

  • Anthropic — AI analysis of your resume and generation of feedback and rewrites.
  • Stripe — payment processing for purchased rewrites.
  • Vercel — website hosting and file storage.
  • Neon — database hosting.
  • Resend — transactional email delivery.
  • Upstash — rate limiting for security.

Security

Resume text and generated feedback are encrypted at rest at the application layer, in addition to our hosting providers' encryption. Access is limited, transport is HTTPS-only, and we avoid logging resume content. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.

Data retention

We retain your submission, resume, and contact information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above — including board placement consideration and our email list — for up to approximately three years, unless you ask us to delete it sooner or a longer period is required to complete a purchase, comply with law, or resolve disputes. You can request deletion at any time, and unsubscribing from email is always one click away.

Your choices & data-deletion requests

Email opt-out. Use the unsubscribe link in any email from us, or write to us at the address below, and we will remove you from our email list.

You may request access to or deletion of your data at any time. Email paul.michaels@monoc.com with the subject "Data deletion request" and we will delete your submission, resume file, and associated records. To protect your information, we will verify your request using the email address associated with your submission before acting on it. If we decline a request, you may appeal our decision by replying to our response, and we will review the appeal and respond with the result and our reasons.

Children

The service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a person under 18 has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
