Where your CV text goes

To read your CV — your skills, your experience, your job titles — we send its text to Google's Gemini API. There is no way to match jobs to a CV without a machine reading it.

On Google's free tier, content sent to the API may be used to improve Google's models. That is Google's policy for free API keys, not a choice we make. Google's paid tier is excluded from it.

Which key is used depends on you:

• You have added your own Gemini key — everything runs on your key.
• You have not — reading your CV runs on ours, so you can see your matches without setting up a key first. Your first tailored CV runs on ours too; after that, tailoring needs your own key.

If you would rather your CV were not used this way, take out whatever you do not want to share before uploading, or add a paid Google key on the Setup tab.

What we store

• Your email address — it is your account, and how sign-in codes reach you.
• Your CV file and what was read from it. Kept on our server, shown only to you.
• Your Gemini key, if you add one — stored encrypted and never shown again.
• Jobs you mark as applied to, so the tracker can show them back to you.

We do not sell any of it. Apart from sign-in codes and the job digest if you switch it on, we only email you a short reminder about a job you mark as applied or interviewing, and one click stops those.

Deleting it

Deleting a CV removes the file and everything read from it. Deleting your account on the Setup tab removes all of it — CVs, profiles, documents, your tracker, your key and the account itself.

The job listings

Jobs are collected from company job boards that publish them openly. Each role is advertised by the employer named on it, not by us, and every listing links to the employer's own application form. The website never submits an application for you; the Apply Sarthi app does, only when you press Start applying (below).

The Apply Sarthi app for Windows

The app applies to jobs for you, on your PC, in its own browser window:

• Job-site sign-ins stay on your PC. You sign in to Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed and the others yourself, in the app's browser. Your passwords and those sites' sign-in cookies are never sent to us.
• It applies only after you press Start applying, within daily limits per site, and only to jobs that match your CV and the jobs you said you want. In "Fill only" mode it fills each form and you press Submit. It never solves "are you human" checks.
• What it sends to a job form: your details from your CV, the answers you gave the app (city, experience, salary, notice period and similar), and a CV tailored to that job. Salaries and notice period come only from your own answers. Other answers are drafted by Google's Gemini on your own key.
• What we keep for the app: your answers; for each application, the questions and the answers that were filled, so you can check and correct them; your app settings; ratings you give a run; problem reports (with the app's log of that day only if you tick it; keys and passwords are cut out); and the HR emails the app wrote for you. Emails to HR are sent by you from your own Gmail; we only keep that you opened one.
• One free allowance per person: to keep the free weekly applications fair, the app keeps scrambled codes (one-way hashes that can't be turned back) of your CV's phone number and email, your AI key, and a code for your PC made on the PC itself. Accounts that share one of them share one free allowance; paid plans are not affected. The codes are deleted with your account.
• Payments for the app are taken by Cashfree. We receive whether the payment went through, the amount and the order number, never your card or UPI details.
• Your copy and deletion: in the app, Settings > Privacy has "Download my data" (everything above as one file) and "Delete my account", which removes all of it except payment records we must keep. Uninstalling the app removes the job-site sign-ins from your PC.

Cookies

One cookie of our own, to keep you signed in. No advertising cookies.

We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are used. IP addresses are anonymised, and page addresses are sent without the part after the "?". On the public job, company and role pages we also use Microsoft Clarity, which records clicks and scrolling so we can see where a page confuses people. Clarity is switched off inside the app, so nothing you type there, your CV or your key is ever recorded. Both services set their own cookies. The same tools run on interviewsarthi.com.

The chat assistant

The Sarthi chat bubble on these pages answers questions about ApplySarthi, Prep Sarthi and Live Sarthi. It cannot see your account, your CV or your key. We keep the messages you send it and its replies, and what you type into its short forms, to improve it; the replies are written by Google's Gemini on Google Cloud. The details are in the Interview Sarthi privacy policy.
