3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to:

4. How We Share Your Information

We share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With employers: when submitting applications on your behalf, we share the information required by their application forms (name, email, resume, cover letter, etc.)
• Service providers: we use third-party services to operate our platform, including Supabase (database), Stripe (payments), Anthropic (AI), and Resend (email)
• Legal requirements: when required by law, subpoena, or legal process
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising purposes.

5. AI and Data Processing

Aplyd uses artificial intelligence (powered by Anthropic's Claude) to analyze your resume, generate cover letters, score job matches, and fill application forms. Your data is processed by our AI providers solely to provide the Service to you and is not used to train third-party AI models. We send only the minimum data necessary for each AI operation.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including: encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), encryption at rest, secure authentication via Supabase Auth, row-level security policies on our database, and regular security reviews. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or legitimate business purposes (e.g., billing records, dispute resolution).
