Questions and answers
What you should know about OTO
Direct answers about the service, your information and the choices you control.
Is OTO Careers available to use now?
The public website and career guides are live. Account sign-in and private workspaces remain in private preview and currently show a holding page. Plan descriptions explain the intended service; they do not mean public account access has launched.
What is the difference between OTOvios, OTO Careers and OTO Life?
OTOvios is the name used for the website and brand. OTO Careers focuses on career evidence, professional development and career decisions. OTO Life is a separate product. Archema Labs Ltd develops OTO Careers.
What is a career evidence record?
A career evidence record is a continuing log of your work, achievements, skills and learning. It keeps the context and evidence behind your experience. A CV is a shorter selection from that record for a particular role or audience.
Can OTO guarantee a job or certify my CPD?
No. OTO helps organise evidence and support reflection. Employers decide recruitment outcomes, and professional bodies decide whether CPD meets their requirements. OTO does not guarantee employment or certify professional compliance.
What is OTO Careers?
OTO Careers is a private career development service. It helps you maintain a career profile, record skills and professional development, explore possible career routes and prepare for focused coaching conversations.
Is OTO a recruitment agency?
No. OTO does not place candidates or promise employment. Its guidance is designed to help you understand your evidence, choices and development priorities.
Who controls my career profile?
You do. You review imported information and choose whether your profile is public, available only by link, private or switched off. Private coaching and wellbeing information is never shown on a public profile.
How does OTO use artificial intelligence?
OTO uses deterministic tools for supported actions and uses approved AI services only for defined interpretation and career report tasks. Sensitive wellbeing information and connected Google or Microsoft records are excluded from general AI prompts by default.
What happens when I connect Google or Microsoft?
Connections are optional and permissions are requested separately. OTO stores encrypted credentials on the server and synchronises only the categories you approve. Calendar, email and file metadata remain private and are not used to train general purpose AI models.
How much does OTO Careers cost?
Foundation is free and includes your career record, shared CV and one monthly Career Check-in. Growth is £30 per year. Flourish includes bounded coaching and is £5 per month or £50 per year. OTO Life is a separate product.
What is included in the seven day trial?
The trial starts after your first pathways report and gives you every Growth feature for seven days. One trial coaching session becomes available on the final day. No card is required, the trial does not convert automatically and pathways are hidden after it ends unless you choose a paid plan. Your saved information is not deleted.
Can I keep using OTO Careers without paying?
Yes. After a trial or paid plan ends, Foundation keeps your career record, shared CV and one monthly Career Check-in available. Pathways, structured development tools and premium downloads require Growth or Flourish. Coaching requires Flourish.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. Account settings include an account deletion flow and a data export. Some minimal billing or consent records may need to be retained where the law requires it, as explained in the privacy notice.
