Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

1. Introduction

PrepVine ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our interview preparation platform.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

Account Information:

  • Email address and name when you create an account
  • Authentication data (via Supabase Auth)
  • Google account information if you sign in with Google

Usage Data:

  • Companies and roles you track
  • Interview experiences you contribute
  • Referral source, the ref value in the link you used to reach PrepVine

Content You Submit:

  • Interview experiences, questions, and tips
  • Companies and roles you choose to track

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and improve the Service
  • To personalize your experience
  • To aggregate interview data for community insights
  • To generate AI-powered study plans
  • To send important service notifications
  • To prevent fraud and ensure platform security

4. Anonymous Contributions

When you submit interview experiences anonymously, your name and account details are not displayed publicly. However, we still associate the contribution with your account internally for moderation purposes. Anonymous contributions appear as "Anonymous Candidate" to other users.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:

  • Service Providers: Supabase (authentication and database), Vercel (hosting), and Anthropic (AI processing of contributed interview data to generate study plans; under standard API terms, these providers do not train AI models on this data), each only as needed to operate the Service
  • Law Enforcement: If required by law or to protect rights and safety
  • Community: Published interview contributions are shared publicly on the platform (anonymously when you choose so)

6. Data Retention

  • Account data is retained until you delete your account
  • Interview contributions remain on the platform unless you edit or request removal of them
  • Deleting your account gives you a choice, made at the time of deletion: delete everything (your account and every contribution you've made), or delete your account and personal information while your reviews and questions stay on the platform, fully anonymous and never linked to you again. Either way, your sign-in is permanently removed and you cannot log back in.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Export your data in a portable format
  • Opt out of non-essential communications

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@prepvine.io

8. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), secure authentication via Supabase, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Cookies

We use essential browser storage (via Supabase authentication) to maintain your session and keep you logged in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Clearing your browser storage will log you out but does not affect your account data.

10. Children's Privacy

PrepVine is not intended for users under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

11. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

For users in the European Union or California, you have additional rights:

  • Right to know what personal data is collected and why
  • Right to deletion ("right to be forgotten")
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to opt out of sale of personal data (we do not sell data)
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or a prominent notice on the platform. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
