What we collect
Account information
When you create an account, Supabase authentication handles your email address and display name, whether you sign in with email or a social sign-in method. If you sign in with Google or GitHub and the provider shares your name, we use it as your starting display name, and you can change it in your account. You can also choose to add your college and graduation year in your account.
Activity in Aspirova
We store the information needed to make the service work:
- Your bookmarks and their application stage.
- Your notification preferences.
- Per-opportunity counts of views and Apply button taps. These are aggregate counters, not a record of your individual browsing history.
- Bug reports you send us, including the message, an optional contact email, and the page or opportunity the report came from.
Your resume
If you upload a resume, we store the PDF privately so you can open or replace it later. It isn't public and other users can't open it. We only access it if you ask us to, or if the law requires it. You can remove it at any time from the Resume check page.
We also save the file name, the upload date, your resume check score and the skills you keep on your account. Your browser reads the PDF to suggest skills and work out the score.
If you used an earlier version of resume matching, we may also hold a mathematical embedding of your resume, which is a list of numbers rather than its text. Email us to have it removed. If AI matching is turned on in future, your resume text would be sent to our embedding provider to create that embedding, and we'd update this policy first.
Information stored on your device
Your chosen country, interest fields, recently viewed list, onboarding state and a short-lived note of the listing you opened to apply are stored in your browser's local storage. If you're signed in, your field, interests and skills are also saved to your account so they follow you across devices. Your browser sends your interests or country to our servers only when needed to show results, such as the For You feed or putting listings from your country first. To decide the order of listings, your browser's time zone is checked on your device and isn't sent to us.
Payments
Payments are handled entirely by Razorpay. Aspirova never sees or stores your card details. We do store your subscription status and subscription period.
Why we use this information
We use the information above to:
- Run and secure the service.
- Send the alerts and reports you have chosen to receive.
- Check your resume and suggest skills when you ask us to.

How long we keep information
We keep account information while your account exists. Raw crawl data is kept on a rolling retention basis. Encrypted backup copies are retained in our backup systems. When you remove your resume, we delete the stored PDF straight away. Related account records can remain in encrypted backups until those backups expire.
Your choices and rights
You can edit your profile in your account and turn off emails in your notification preferences. To request access to or deletion of your information, email support@aspirova.org. You can download a copy of your account data any time from Account, under Security.
Cookies and local storage
We use an authentication session and the local storage preferences described above. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking for advertising.
