2. Data collected

2.1. Via our web platform

Our web platform collects the following data:

  • Account information: first name, last name, email address, password (hashed), role, school you belong to and access code used. If you sign in with Google, Google sends us your name and email address.
  • Profile (optional): LinkedIn profile, objective, education and experience
  • Application tracking: campaigns, companies, applications, interviews and their notes, contacts you add, documents you upload (CVs, cover letters, REX), CVs written with the CV Builder, events in your calendar
  • Communities: REX, resources, forum topics and comments, buddy profile (contact details and availability you choose to share), likes and favorites, firms you suggest
  • Firms: favorite firms and firms whose offers you follow
  • Practice: cases and drills completed, your written or spoken answers, scores and evaluations, your messages to the AI assistants
  • Session data: information about your video interview sessions, transcripts, see article 2.2
  • Payment data: plan, subscriptions, credits and their history, Stripe customer ID and invoices. Payments go through Stripe: we do not store credit card numbers.
  • Activity data: days, hours and areas of the platform where your account is active, use of the AI features
  • Contact form: name, organization, email address, profile type and message

2.2. Via our Chrome extension "Augmented Interview Panel"

The "Augmented Interview Panel" extension collects the following data:

  • Email address: used for authentication on our platform. The email is stored in your browser to pre-fill future logins.
  • Authentication tokens (JWT): authentication tokens are generated on login and stored in your browser to keep your session active.
  • Interview data: the address of the video call open in the active tab, your role (interviewer or candidate), the times, the Fit and Case phases and the exhibits shared during the call are sent to our server and saved with the session.
  • Recording and transcription: only if a participant turns transcription on, our provider Recall.ai records the audio and video of the call to produce its transcript. The other participant is told and can decline: the recording then stops and is deleted.

Important note: passwords are never stored by the extension. They are only transmitted securely during login.

3. Data storage

3.1. Web platform

Data collected via our web platform is stored on our server, hosted by OVHcloud. We use a PostgreSQL database for your account information, your application tracking, your content, your interview sessions and your usage data. The files you upload are stored on the disk of this server.

Data stored on our server includes:

  • Your account information (name, email, hashed password)
  • Your application tracking, your documents and your community content
  • Your interview and practice history, your scores and evaluations
  • Your preferences and account settings

3.2. Chrome extension

The extension stores your email address and your authentication token in your browser, via Chrome's chrome.storage.sync API. If Chrome sync is turned on, Chrome may copy this data to your other devices signed in to the same Google account. It is sent to our servers only for the extension to work.

Data stored in the browser includes:

  • Your email address (to pre-fill the login form)
  • Your authentication token (to maintain your session)

5. Recipients of the data

5.1. Third-party services used

We use the following third-party services for our platform to function:

  • OVHcloud: hosting of our server and our database
  • Stripe: for payment processing. Stripe collects and processes your payment information securely. We do not store your credit card numbers.
  • OpenAI: for the feedback on your answers to cases and drills, the transcription of your spoken answers and the answers of the AI assistants. OpenAI receives the content of these exchanges, and the parts of your profile, practice, calendar and applications that the assistants read to answer you.
  • Recall.ai: for recording and transcription of video interviews (only if a participant turns transcription on in the extension)
  • Google: sending the platform's emails, and sign-in with Google if you choose it

Some of these providers may process your data outside the European Union, in particular in the United States. These transfers rely on the safeguards provided by the GDPR: an adequacy decision of the European Commission (EU-US Data Privacy Framework) for certified providers, or the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

5.2. Other recipients

  • Your school: if you join a school with its access code, its administrators can see, depending on the rights we grant them, your account, your application tracking in read-only mode, your practice, your interview sessions and statistics on their students' activity.
  • Community members: what you publish in a community is visible to its members. The forum of the public community can be read without an account, with your first name and the initial of your last name, never your email address.
  • Interview participants: the transcript of an interview is available to the participants who requested or accepted it.

5.3. Communication with our backend

Data is transmitted only to our backend server (aim4-consulting.com) in the following cases:

  • On login: your email and password are transmitted for authentication
  • When using the web platform: your actions, responses and data are synced with our server
  • When using the extension: your authentication token is transmitted with each API request to verify your identity
  • During session synchronization: the address of the video call and the interview session information are transmitted to manage the session

Important commitment: we do not sell, rent or share your personal data with third parties (except for the recipients mentioned above). Your data is used exclusively to provide our services.

6. Data security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data:

  • Secure communication via HTTPS for all data transmissions
  • JWT token authentication with automatic expiration, sessions ended when the password changes
  • Hashed passwords with secure algorithms (bcrypt)
  • Secure database with restricted access
  • Secure storage via the Chrome Storage API (for the extension)
  • Monitoring and protection against unauthorized access
  • Regular data backups

7. Retention periods

We keep your data for the following periods:

Data Retention period
Account, profile, application tracking, documents, CVs, calendar, practice, favorites and alerts Until your account is deleted. Deletion is immediate, unless you have a paid subscription running: your account is then deleted at the end of the paid period.
Interview sessions and transcripts Until the account of one of the participants is deleted, which deletes the session and its transcripts
Audio and video recording of an interview, at Recall.ai Deleted as soon as the transcript is retrieved or a participant declines. A transcript not requested within 6 days expires, and Recall.ai erases the recording at the latest 7 days after it was made.
Spoken answers to cases and drills The audio file is deleted from our server as soon as it is transcribed. Only the text is kept, with your practice.
Subscriptions, credit purchases, access codes used and referrals Anonymized when the account is deleted (name and email address removed), then kept 10 years for accounting obligations
REX, resources and firms you published When the account is deleted, kept anonymously (the author becomes "Anonymous") or deleted, as you choose
Forum topics and comments Kept anonymously when the account is deleted. Your likes, favorites and buddy profile are deleted.
Application tracking, when the account is deleted Deleted by default. If you choose to keep it anonymously, the companies and applications remain with no link to your account; your contacts and campaigns are deleted.
Activity data Until your account is deleted. The measure of AI use is then detached from your account.
Contact form messages Not saved in our database: sent by email to our mailbox, where they are kept with no automatic deletion
Extension data in your browser Until you log out (token) or uninstall the extension (all data)
Cookies See article 9

8.2. Chrome extension

You can delete extension data at any time in several ways:

The platform also keeps a few display preferences (campaign shown, CV language) in your browser's local storage: they never leave your device.

9.2. Chrome extension

The extension may read the access_token cookie from our backend domain to automatically detect that you are already logged in, and deletes it when you log out. The extension does not set any cookies of its own.

  • activeTab: to detect active video meetings
  • sidePanel: to display the extension side panel

  • host_permissions: to communicate with our backend API and detect video conferencing platforms. This permission covers all sites (https://*/* and http://*/*); the extension neither reads nor changes the content of the pages you visit.
