intervu is a job search tool. This page explains what we collect, why, and how you can control it. If anything here is unclear, use the contact page — we read every message ourselves.
What we collect
When you create an account, we collect the email address and profile information you provide. You can sign in with Google or with a username and password — Google-hosted sign-in is handled by Firebase Auth, so we never see or store your Google password.
Once you're using intervu, we store the things you create: your tracked applications, saved resumes, saved searches, prep answers, and credit balance. This data lives in Google Cloud Firestore and is only ever accessed by our servers — never exposed directly to the browser or to other users.
If you join a waitlist (for example, “tell me when it's ready” on the connect page), we store the email address you enter and which product you asked about — nothing else — and use it only to send you that one notification. You don't need an account for this, and you can ask us to remove it at any time via the contact page.
When you search, we read your IP address transiently for two things: to default your job search to your country so first results are nearby, and to rate-limit abusive traffic. Your IP is not stored with your account, your searches, or your tracked applications — the country lookup happens on our own server against a local database, with no third-party geolocation service involved. Like nearly every website, our servers keep ordinary technical logs that can briefly include request IPs.
The job listings you search are public information we collect from employers' own career pages. We don't collect anything about you from third parties, and we don't buy data about you from anyone.
How we use it
We use your account data to run the product: to show your tracked applications, keep your resumes and prep answers where you left them, and apply your credit balance when you use a paid feature. That's it — we don't use your data to train models, and we don't build advertising profiles.
AI processing
Some features — resume tailoring and interview prep critique — work by sending the relevant text (your resume, a job description, your prep answers) to an AI provider to generate a response. We use OpenRouter and Groq for this. That text is sent transiently to generate your result; it is not stored by us for any purpose beyond producing that response, and we don't use it to train anything. Each provider is bound by its own data-handling terms, which govern how they process the request while it's with them.
Connected AI clients
If you pair an AI client with intervu from the connect page (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or another app that speaks MCP), that client can — after you sign in and approve the connection — read your saved resume, your tracked applications, and your job preferences, and save changes back when you tell it to. Anything your AI client reads travels to that provider and is handled under their privacy terms, not ours — we can't control what the provider you chose retains or how it uses what it processes. This only ever happens for a client you connected yourself, and you can disconnect it at any time from account settings, which cuts off all further access.
Cookies & analytics
We use a single cookie to keep you signed in. It's httpOnly (invisible to page scripts), lasts about 14 days, and identifies your session — nothing more.
We use PostHog for product analytics — page views, clicks, and searches — so we can see what's working and fix what isn't. It runs cookieless on intervu: no analytics cookie is set, and session state is kept in memory only, gone the moment you close the tab or reload. Events aren't tied to your identity unless you're signed in. PostHog (US cloud) processes this data as our processor under their own DPA terms. We don't run ad trackers or any third-party tracking pixels, and the sign-in cookie above remains the only cookie on intervu.
Retention & deletion
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account and everything tied to it at any time from account settings — it's self-serve, not a support ticket. Deletion removes your profile, tracked applications, resumes, prep answers, and credit history from our systems.
Your choices
You control your data: edit or remove anything you've created, delete your account outright, or contact us with any question or request — including one we haven't anticipated here.
