Your data, your control

Privacy Policy

We believe in plain-language privacy policies. No legalese, no hidden clauses — just a clear explanation of what we collect, why, and how you can control it.

Last updated: 17 May 2025

We never sell your data to advertisers or third parties

Your resume is never shared without your explicit action

Delete your data any time — we'll process it within 7 days

1. What Data We Collect

Account information

When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google's OAuth service. We store only what is necessary to identify your account.

Resume data

If you upload a resume, we store the extracted text, your parsed skill set, work experience, and education history. Raw file uploads are processed and then deleted from our servers — we retain only the parsed profile.

Usage data

We log which pages you visit, which jobs you save, and which search filters you use. This data is used to improve recommendations and is never sold.

Employer data

Employers who post jobs provide their company name, email address, and job details. This information is displayed publicly as part of the job listing.

2. How We Use Your Data

AI-powered matching

Your parsed resume profile is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI to generate match scores between your skills and job descriptions. Anthropic processes this data under their API terms of service and does not store or use it to train their models.

Personalisation

We use your skill set and saved jobs to surface more relevant listings, sort job results by match strength, and remember your filter preferences.

Communications

We may send you transactional emails (e.g., account verification, password reset). We will never send marketing emails without your explicit opt-in.

Platform improvement

Aggregated, anonymised usage data helps us understand which features are working and where to invest next. Individual behaviour is never shared externally.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data

Full stop. We have no advertising business model. Your resume, email address, and usage patterns are not sold or rented to any third party.

Service providers

We use the following trusted third-party services to operate the platform: MongoDB Atlas (database hosting), Render (backend hosting), Vercel (frontend hosting), Google OAuth (sign-in), and Anthropic Claude (AI matching). Each is bound by data processing agreements.

Legal requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of 3ranga, our users, or the public.

Employer visibility

If you apply to a job through 3ranga's employer portal in the future, only the information you explicitly share (resume, contact details) will be visible to that employer.

4. Your Rights & Controls

Access your data

You can view all data we hold about you at any time via your Profile and Resume pages.

Delete your resume

You can permanently delete your parsed resume profile from the Resume page at any time. This immediately clears your match scores and skill set from our servers.

Delete your account

To fully delete your account and all associated data, email us at support@3ranga.com with the subject line 'Delete my account'. We will process your request within 7 business days.

Opt out of communications

Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can also manage notification preferences from your profile settings.

5. Data Retention

Job listings

Job listings older than 7 days are automatically removed from our database. This keeps the platform fresh and avoids showing stale roles.

Account data

Account data is retained while your account is active. You may request deletion at any time (see §4 above).

Resume data

Resume profiles are retained until you delete them or request account deletion.

Logs

Server logs are retained for 30 days for debugging and security purposes, then automatically purged.

6. Security

Encryption in transit

All data exchanged between your browser and our servers is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS.

Authentication

We use industry-standard JWT tokens for session management. Tokens are stored in your browser's localStorage and are scoped to this domain.

Infrastructure

Our backend and database are hosted on Render and MongoDB Atlas respectively — both enterprise-grade, SOC 2-compliant cloud providers.

No passwords stored

We use Google OAuth exclusively for sign-in. We never store, handle, or have access to any passwords.

7. Cookies & Local Storage

We don't use tracking cookies

3ranga does not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels, or analytics cookies that follow you across the web.

localStorage

We store your authentication token, resume profile cache, and saved-job preferences in your browser's localStorage. This data stays on your device and is cleared when you sign out.

Essential only

Any storage we use is strictly necessary for the platform to function. No consent banner is required because we don't deploy non-essential cookies.

8. Contact & Questions

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please reach out. We aim to respond within 2 business days.

Policy changes

We may update this policy as 3ranga grows. We will notify registered users by email before material changes take effect and always update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance.
