Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Agam Agrawal (“we”, “us”) processes personal data when you use ApplyGrid at applygrid.in. ApplyGrid is operated by Agam Agrawal (unincorporated). It is not operated by Chisokulab Pvt Ltd.

1. Who we are

Privacy and support requests: support@applygrid.in.

2. Data we collect

• Account data: email, name, authentication identifiers.
• Profile and career evidence you enter or confirm (employment, achievements, education, eligibility, narrative).
• Job descriptions you paste for analysis.
• Free fit check (no account): the job description and CV text you paste at /check, the result we produce, and short-lived technical identifiers used to limit abuse (see sections 5 and 6).
• Uploaded CV files (PDF/DOCX) used for extraction — you review extracted facts before they drive analyses or kits.
• Application pipeline data, generated kit assets, and coaching session content you create in-product.
• Payment records needed to activate entitlements (order/payment IDs, plan, amounts) via Razorpay — we do not store full card numbers.
• Product analytics events (for example signup, analysis completed, CV generated, checkout started, purchase completed) with campaign UTMs when present. We do not send CVs, job descriptions, or career history to advertising platforms.

3. How we use data

• Provide authentication, profile, analysis, kit, and pipeline features.
• Enforce free and paid entitlements.
• Improve reliability and prevent abuse (rate limits, operational logs).
• Measure acquisition effectiveness when you allow advertising measurement (see processors and choices below).

4. Processors

• Supabase — authentication, Postgres database, and private file storage for generated PDFs and uploads.
• Anthropic (and, when configured, OpenRouter as a fallback) — AI inference for analysis, extraction, and kit generation.
• Vercel — application hosting. PDF rendering runs as an in-project Vercel Python function that receives structured kit content (not your raw employer inbox).
• Razorpay — payment processing for paid plans.
• Meta — only when you allow advertising measurement and measurement is configured on the live site. The Meta Pixel and Conversions API then receive conversion events such as registration, CV generated, and purchase. For Event Match Quality we may send a SHA-256 hash of your account email (never plaintext email). CVs and job descriptions are not sent. If you choose Essential only, we do not load the Pixel or send Conversions API events.
• Google — under the same advertising-measurement choice: Google Analytics / Measurement Protocol (and Google Ads when linked) receive similar conversion events without CV/JD content.

5. Cookies

Essential cookies cover signed-in sessions (Supabase auth) and first-party attribution cookies for UTMs. Meta Pixel or Google Analytics cookies are set only after you allow advertising measurement. See their privacy policies for partner details.

The free fit check at /check also sets two essential cookies: a random device identifier (about one year) used to apply the daily free-check limit, and a private result token (7 days) that lets you unlock your full report after signing in. We store only keyed hashes of your device identifier and IP address for the daily limit, never the raw IP address. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a visitor is human before a free check runs.

6. Retention

Free fit check (no account). The job description and CV text you paste are sent to Anthropic Claude to produce your result. We keep that text encrypted for up to 7 days, only so we can build your full report if you sign in, and then delete it. Once a full report has been built, the stored text is deleted within 24 hours. The short result (score, verdict and headlines) is deleted after 30 days if you never sign in. Usage counters are deleted after 3 days.

We retain account, profile, application, and generated-asset data while your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by emailing support@applygrid.in. Deletion is processed manually (there is no in-app delete button today). Some records may remain briefly in backups or as required by law; we do not promise instantaneous erasure from every backup copy.

7. Your choices

• Access and update profile data in the product.
• Request account deletion via support email.
• Stop using AI features by not pasting JDs or uploading CVs.
• Allow or refuse advertising measurement anytime using the control below (also linked from the site footer).
