Disclaimer & legal notices
The short version: everything on this site is personal opinion. Read it, disagree with it, test it against your own experience, but do not treat it as professional, legal, financial or career advice.
Opinion, not advice
All articles, perspectives, essays and recommendations on this site reflect the personal views and direct experience of the author. They are written as editorial opinion, not as professional career counselling, legal guidance, financial advice, or any other regulated service.
The tech industry changes quickly. What was true in 2019 may not be true in 2026. Career decisions affect your income, location, visa status and family. Do your own research, speak to people already doing the role you want, and verify any claim that matters to you before acting on it.
Accuracy and currency
We publish in good faith and aim to keep content current, but we do not guarantee that any page is complete, accurate or up-to-date. Salary figures, certification requirements, visa rules and job-market conditions change constantly. Treat every number and recommendation as a starting point for your own verification, not a fact to rely on.
No liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the author and operators of this site accept no liability for any loss, damage or inconvenience arising from your use of, or reliance on, anything published here. That includes career decisions, course purchases, relocation choices, exam failures, job rejections, or any other outcome.
If you need professional advice, immigration, tax, legal, financial or therapeutic, speak to a qualified practitioner in your jurisdiction.
Privacy & data
POST sells two paid products that involve personal information. This section explains what we hold, why, for how long, and how to get it removed.
What we collect
- Career Verdict. Your email address, your answers from the guided route, any CV file you upload, and the verdict we generate for you (on-screen and PDF).
- Hiring Reality Report. Your email address, the job spec text you paste, any context you add, and the report we generate.
- Both. Standard payment metadata returned by Stripe. We never see or store card numbers.
Why we hold it
To produce the report, deliver it to your inbox, let you re-download it via your access link, and handle refund or dispute questions.
How long we keep it
Purchase-related files and generated reports are retained for up to 24 months to support customer requests, report reissues and service continuity. After this period, files are automatically deleted unless required for legal or accounting purposes.
Third-party information in Hiring Reality Report submissions
Please remove names, email addresses and other personal information relating to third parties (hiring managers, candidates, internal staff) before submitting job specifications or supporting documents. POST does not need this information to produce a Hiring Reality Report.
Where you choose to submit documents containing third-party personal data, POST processes that information solely for the purpose of producing the requested report. You remain responsible for ensuring you have the appropriate authority to provide that information.
Who can access it
James (sole operator). Generated PDFs sit in private storage, accessible only via signed access links sent to the purchasing email address.
Your rights
You can request a copy or deletion of your data at any time by emailing james@postatlas.co.uk. We aim to action requests within 30 days.
Service providers
Stripe (payments), Resend (email delivery), Supabase / Lovable Cloud (database and storage), PDFShift (PDF rendering). Each processes data only as needed to deliver the service.
Updates
Material changes to this notice are reflected on this page with a refreshed last-updated date below.
Career Verdict purchase terms
The Career Verdict is personalised digital content. It is generated against the inputs you provide and delivered to your inbox immediately after payment.
At checkout you tick a box agreeing to immediate delivery. By doing so, you acknowledge that you lose the 14-day cancellation right that normally applies to digital purchases under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. This is standard practice for digital content delivered on demand.
Because Verdicts are personalised and delivered immediately, purchases are normally non-refundable once delivery begins. If a technical issue prevents delivery, or the verdict was generated from clearly broken inputs you couldn't correct at the time, email james@postatlas.co.uk and we'll reissue or refund. Disagreeing with the call isn't a refund case. The verdict is meant to be argued with.
