Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to PlacementDo ("we", "our", "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our AI-powered mock interview platform at placementdo.app.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our services:

• Account Information: Your name and email address when you sign up.
• Waitlist Details: If you join our waitlist, we collect your email address to notify you when access becomes available.
• Interview Data: Audio recordings, text transcripts, and CV/resume documents you upload during mock interview sessions. This data is used exclusively to generate real-time AI feedback and performance reports.
• Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, session duration, and device/browser information collected automatically for analytics and performance monitoring.
• Cookies: We use first-party and third-party cookies as described below.

3. Third-party services

We use trusted third-party services to operate the platform, including cloud hosting providers, analytics tools, email delivery services, and third-party advertising partners (including Google AdSense).

4. Cookies and tracking

We use essential cookies for session management, authentication, and security. We also use analytics cookies to understand aggregate product usage patterns.

If advertising is enabled for your account and region, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies (such as the DART cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to PlacementDo or other websites. Optional advertising scripts remain disabled until you choose them in the consent controls. You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.

5. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, operate, and improve the PlacementDo platform and AI interview coaching service.
• To generate your personalized post-interview performance report and scoring breakdown.
• To send service-related communications, billing receipts, and product updates.
• To display relevant advertisements via Google AdSense on our free tier.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

6. Data Retention

Interview reports, transcripts, and related performance metrics are retained for up to 12 months, after which they are scheduled for deletion. You may request account deletion at any time by emailing support@placementdo.app. We will verify the request and explain the applicable deletion timeline, including any information we must retain for legal or security reasons.

7. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

We comply with applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR and CCPA. Users have the right to access, rectify, or erase their personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email provided below.

8. Data Security

We use access controls, monitoring, and encryption in transit to protect personal data. No online service can promise absolute security. We do not use personal interview data to train a public AI model, and service providers process data only as needed to provide the features described in this policy.

9. Data Sharing and International Transfers

We share information only with service providers that help us host the website, authenticate accounts, process payments, send email, provide analytics, deliver advertisements, or support our customers. These providers may access information only to perform services for us and must protect it. We do not sell personal information or use interview recordings for advertising. Some providers may process data outside India; when that happens, we use contractual, technical, and organisational safeguards appropriate to the applicable law.

10. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You can use the cookie banner to accept optional analytics and advertising cookies or choose essential cookies only. You can also change browser settings to block or delete cookies, although some account features may stop working. Depending on where you live, you may request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection to processing, and you may withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis. We will verify requests and respond within the period required by law.

11. Children's Privacy

PlacementDo is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@placementdo.app.

12. Policy Updates and Contact Us

We may update this policy when our services, vendors, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised version and update the date at the top of this page.
