AI Transparency

We believe in being open about how AI powers LaunchPath Careers. Here's everything you need to know about our AI features.

Our AI Principles

You Stay in Control

AI generates suggestions—you decide what to use, edit, or discard.

Privacy First

Your data is used only to personalize your experience. We don't sell your information.

Clear Labeling

AI-generated content is always marked so you know what's automated.

Continuous Improvement

We regularly update our AI to provide better, more accurate suggestions.

External Data Sources

In addition to AI, LaunchPath Careers uses authoritative government data to provide accurate career insights.

O*NET Web Services

O*NET (Occupational Information Network) is the nation's primary source of occupational information, maintained by the U.S. Department of Labor. It is not AI-generated — it's a curated, research-backed database of standardized occupation data.

What O*NET provides to LaunchPath Careers:

Occupation matching: Links your target job title to a standardized O*NET-SOC code for consistent data
Skill & knowledge requirements: Official skill profiles used by the Skills Gap Analyzer to identify real gaps
Related occupations: Informs Career Path Visualization with lateral moves and advancement options
Job zones & education: Education requirements and experience levels for target roles

How it differs from AI:

O*NET data is factual and research-based, not generated by language models
It's maintained by labor market researchers and updated regularly by USDOL/ETA
O*NET data enriches AI outputs — for example, the AI uses O*NET skill profiles as ground truth when analyzing your gaps

AI Limitations

AI is a tool, not a replacement for your judgment. Here's what to keep in mind:

AI suggestions may occasionally contain inaccuracies—always verify important facts
Generated content is a starting point—personalize it to reflect your unique voice
Company and salary data may not be current—research before making decisions
Career advice is general—your specific situation may require different approaches

How We Handle Your Data

What we collect for AI features:

Information you provide in exercises (career history, goals, preferences)
Resume content when you upload it
Your interactions with AI tools to improve personalization
O*NET occupation codes linked to your target role (standardized job classification, not personal data)

What we DON'T do:

Sell your personal data to third parties
Use your data to train AI models for other purposes
Share identifiable information without your consent
Store AI conversation history beyond your current session
Send your personal data to O*NET — we only query their public occupation database
