Privacy Policy

1. Who is responsible for your data

Kariya (a Khevera product), operated by Ibe Stanislaus, is the controller of your personal data. Contact us at support@khevera.com.

2. What we collect

• Account: your email address, name, and login details (passwords are stored securely and we can't see them).
• Profile: country, city, current role, years of experience and target role.
• CVs: the files you upload and the text we extract from them, or text you paste.
• Job details: job titles, companies, locations and job descriptions you add.
• AI results: CV scores and fixes, interview questions, mock interview transcripts and feedback, work-style answers and career reports.
• Usage: how many analyses and sessions you've used (to apply plan limits) and your plan status.
• Payments: handled by Paystack. We receive confirmation that you paid, the amount and a reference. We never see or store your card details.

3. Why we use it

• To provide the service you asked for: scoring your CV, writing suggestions, running practice interviews and building career reports (performance of our contract with you).
• To manage your account, plan and payments (contract).
• To keep Kariya secure, prevent abuse and fix problems (our legitimate interests).
• To meet legal obligations, such as tax and accounting records for payments.

We don't use your CV or results for advertising, and we don't sell your data.

4. AI providers

To produce your results, the relevant text (for example your CV text, the job description, your profile details and your interview answers) is sent to our AI providers, Google (Gemini) and Groq. They process it only to generate a response for you. We send only what's needed for the task you requested.

5. Where your data is stored

Your account, profile, CVs and results are stored with Supabase, our database and file-storage provider, in the UK/EU region. Payments are processed by Paystack. Our website is hosted by Vercel. Some of these providers may process data in other countries; where they do, they use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

6. Cookies and usage counts

We use only what's needed to keep you signed in (stored in your browser). We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

To understand how people use Kariya, we keep anonymous usage counts: a random id stored in your browser counts one visit per day on our public pages, plus totals like sign-ups and analyses. We don't store IP addresses for this.

7. How long we keep it

We keep your data while your account is open, so you can come back to your history. When you delete your account, we delete your profile, CVs, job details, results and usage records straight away. Payment records (amount, date and reference, no longer linked to your name or email) may be kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires. Copies in our providers' routine backups disappear as those backups expire.

8. Your rights

Under Nigeria's Data Protection Act (NDPA), the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR (depending on where you live), you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• correct anything that's wrong (most of it you can edit on your Account page);
• delete your data;
• get a copy of your data in a portable format;
• object to or restrict some processing, and withdraw consent where we rely on it;
• complain to your data protection authority (for example the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, the UK ICO, or your EU supervisory authority).

9. Get a copy or delete your data

• Delete: signed in, go to your Account page and choose Delete my account and data. It permanently deletes your account, CVs and all results straight away, and cancels any Premium renewal first.
• Get a copy: email support@khevera.com from the address on your account and we'll send you your data within 30 days.

10. Children

Kariya is for people aged 16 and over. We don't knowingly collect data from children.

11. Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect.
