Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 29, 2025

PrepWithAI ("we", "our", or "the app") is an AI-powered interview and placement preparation application for engineering students. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights over your data.

By using PrepWithAI, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, you provide your full name, email address, and a password. We use this to create and identify your PrepWithAI profile. Your password is never stored in plain text — authentication is handled securely by Firebase Authentication, which stores only a one-way hash.

Profile Information You Provide

During onboarding you provide your college name, branch, and year of study. This is used to personalise your experience.

Usage & Practice Data

We store your interview session history, scores, aptitude test results, daily practice streaks, XP points, and achievements so you can track your progress over time.

Interview Responses

When you answer interview questions, your spoken answer is transcribed to text using your device's speech recognition. This text is sent to our AI service (Groq) for evaluation. We do not record or store raw audio.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

3. How We Use Your Information

We never sell your personal data to third parties. We never use your data for advertising purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

PrepWithAI uses the following third-party services:

Firebase (Google LLC)

We use Firebase Authentication to manage sign-in and Firebase Firestore to store your profile and practice data securely. Data is stored in Google's cloud infrastructure.
Google Privacy Policy →

Groq API

Your interview answers and aptitude prompts are sent to Groq's AI service for evaluation. This is done via a secure server-side proxy — your data is not directly exposed to Groq from the device. Groq processes the text to generate feedback and scores.
Groq Privacy Policy →

Razorpay

Pro subscription payments are processed securely by Razorpay. When you make a payment, your card or UPI details are entered directly into Razorpay's secure checkout — we never receive or store your payment card information. Razorpay shares only the payment status and a transaction ID with us for activation.
Razorpay Privacy Policy →

5. Data Retention

Your data is retained as long as your account is active. If you delete your account (see below), all your personal data is permanently erased from our servers within 24 hours.

6. Your Rights — Data Deletion

You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time:

  1. Open the PrepWithAI app
  2. Go to Profile → Delete Account
  3. Type DELETE to confirm

This permanently deletes your profile, all session history, scores, and achievements from our database. This action cannot be undone.

You may also request data deletion by emailing us at prepwithai.office@gmail.com.

7. Children's Privacy

PrepWithAI is intended for college students (18 years and above). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Security

All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Firebase Firestore enforces authentication-based access rules — your data can only be read by your own account. API keys are never embedded in the app; they are stored server-side on Vercel.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
