Frequently Asked Questions

You write a short message, add your résumé data, and enter the employer’s email. ContactVault forwards it anonymously on your behalf. The employer can rate your chances and optionally leave feedback — without ever seeing your real email.

For anyone tired of applying into the void. Whether you’re a student, professional, or freelancer, ContactVault lets you test the waters safely and efficiently before sending your full application.

No. Employers only see your anonymized ContactVault address. Your real identity remains hidden unless you decide to reveal it later.

Only temporarily — just long enough to deliver messages and feedback. After that, data is automatically deleted according to our retention schedule.

Every message is transmitted through encrypted channels and relayed using a system designed to be post-quantum-resistant. ContactVault never sells or shares your data — period.

Regular users can send one anonymous message per day. Premium users can send up to ten per day and access advanced tracking features.

Each email to an employer includes four secure one-click rating buttons: Very Unlikely, Unlikely, Likely, and Very Likely. When clicked, their rating and optional feedback are instantly relayed back to you.

No. Once a rating is submitted, all other links are disabled to preserve fairness and data integrity.
