Introduction
ApplySathi ("we", "us", or "our") provides an application assistance platform that helps users discover, apply to, and manage opportunities. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and protect it, and your rights. By using ApplySathi, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information to provide and improve our services. The types of information we collect include:
- Account Information: Name, email address, password (hashed), phone number, profile photo, and other contact details you provide when creating an account.
- Profile & Professional Data: Education history, work experience, skills, certifications, resume/CV, cover letters and other documents you upload to help with applications.
- Application Data: Job or program applications you create or submit through ApplySathi, application statuses, notes, and related metadata (dates, company names, job IDs).
- Usage & Technical Data: Device information, browser type, IP address, operating system, pages visited, features used, and performance data collected through cookies and similar technologies.
- Payment & Billing Data: When you purchase paid services, we collect billing name, address, and transaction identifiers required to process payments. We do not store full credit card data — payment processing is handled by third-party payment processors.
- Communications: Messages you send to support, feedback, and other customer service correspondence.
How We Use the Information
We use collected information for purposes that include:
- Providing Services: To create and manage your account, process applications, upload and attach your documents to application submissions, and enable the core ApplySathi features.
- Communication: To send transactional emails, notifications, status updates, and support responses relevant to your account or applications.
- Service Improvement: To analyze usage, diagnose issues, improve features, personalize content and recommendations, and perform research and analytics.
- Billing: To process payments, prevent fraud, and manage subscriptions or refunds.
- Legal & Safety: To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, protect our rights, and prevent abuse or fraudulent activity.
We will only use your data to provide application assistance and related services through the ApplySathi platform unless we obtain your explicit consent for other uses.
Data Protection and Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. These measures include encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and secure storage practices. However, no system is completely secure — while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If we become aware of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights or freedoms, we will notify affected users and authorities as required by applicable law.
Third-Party Services
ApplySathi uses third-party services to operate and enhance the platform, including analytics, hosting, email delivery, and payment processors. These providers may have access to personal data only to perform services on our behalf and are contractually required to protect it.
- Payment Processors: We use trusted payment gateways to process transactions. They handle payment card data in accordance with industry standards (e.g., PCI-DSS).
- Analytics & Monitoring: We may use analytics services to understand usage patterns. Data shared with analytics providers is aggregated or pseudonymized where possible.
- Integrations: If you choose to integrate accounts or import data from third-party services (e.g., LinkedIn, Google Drive), you authorize us to access that data as needed to provide the integration.
User Rights
Subject to applicable law, you have rights regarding your personal data, including:
- Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: You can request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Deletion: You can request deletion of your account and personal data (note: certain data required for legal or legitimate business purposes may be retained in anonymized form).
- Portability: You can request a machine-readable export of the data you provided.
- Objection & Restriction: You can object to or request restriction of certain processing where applicable.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact Information section. We may need to verify your identity before responding to requests.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, and provide analytics. You can control cookie preferences via your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may limit functionality.
Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When data is no longer necessary, we will delete or anonymize it.
Children's Privacy
ApplySathi is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us to request deletion.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy with a new "Last Updated" date and, when appropriate, notify users by email or through the service.
