Privacy & Data Handling

Last updated: August 2026

If you are searching confidentially, read this first

Most people who use this are employed and would prefer their employer not know. So, plainly: we never contact your employer, we never publish anything about you, and nothing you build here is visible to anyone but you unless you explicitly choose to share it. There is no employer console, no manager view, and no organization that can see your account.

What we collect

  • Your email address — used for sign-in and course communications only.
  • Your resume, if you upload one. This is the most sensitive thing you will give us, so it gets its own section below.
  • Your intake answers — your career history, the roles you are targeting, the concerns you have about your own background, and the stories you want to be able to tell.
  • Exercise transcripts — the written and spoken conversation between you and the course interviewer during each module.
  • Generated artifacts — your Brief, your positioning work, your rebuilt resume, and the other documents the course produces for you.

Your resume, specifically

When you upload a resume, the file is read and its full text is sent to Anthropic’s Claude API so the course can parse it into structured fields and pre-fill your intake. We then store the parsed result — your career history and the structured summary — against your account so later modules can build on it. This is what makes the intake short and the Brief specific to you.

What that means concretely: your employment history, dates, employers, and anything else written on your resume is processed by a third-party AI provider and stored in our database. Per Anthropic’s API terms, inputs and outputs are not used to train their models, and they retain API logs for a limited period for trust and safety before deleting them.

You do not have to upload a resume. Every field it pre-fills can be typed in by hand, and you can edit or delete anything it filled before continuing. You can delete your stored resume data at any time — see Retention & deletion below.

What we never do

  • We never contact your current or former employer, for any reason.
  • We never send your resume, profile, or artifacts to recruiters, employers, or job boards. We are not a placement service and we do not sell or broker candidate data.
  • We never publish your name, your work, or the fact that you are a student, anywhere.
  • We never auto-contact anyone you mention. If you name a person, that name is stored for your reference and we do not email them.
  • We never sell your data or share it with advertisers.

Where data is stored

All data is stored in Supabase (hosted on AWS, US East). Data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Database access requires row-level authentication — your data is isolated to your account.

Who accesses your data

During the founding cohort, exercise transcripts may be reviewed by Adam Buerer (the course creator, and currently the entire team) to check that the AI interviewer is asking good questions and producing useful artifacts. Transcripts are never shared with third parties, never used in marketing, and never published.

After the founding cohort period, transcript review becomes opt-in only. If you would rather opt out now, email courses@webarchitechs.com and we will flag your account.

AI processing

Your resume text, intake answers, and exercise conversations are processed by Anthropic (Claude) via their API. Per Anthropic's terms, API inputs and outputs are not used to train their models. Anthropic retains API logs for a limited period for trust & safety, then deletes them.

Retention & deletion

  • Your data is retained for the lifetime of your account.
  • You can have your stored resume and parsed career history deleted without deleting the rest of your account — email courses@webarchitechs.com and say “delete my resume data.” We do it within 3 business days and confirm by reply.
  • You can request full deletion at any time by emailing courses@webarchitechs.com. Deletion is completed within 7 business days and includes your resume, intake data, transcripts, artifacts, and account records.
  • Artifacts you download belong to you permanently — we cannot delete your local copies.

Third-party services

  • Supabase — authentication and database (AWS US East)
  • Vercel — application hosting
  • Anthropic — AI processing, including resume parsing (Claude API, no training on inputs)
  • Stripe — payment processing (we never see or store card numbers)
  • Resend — email delivery for sign-in links, course communications, and reminders (your email address and message content)
  • HubSpot — CRM contact and course-progress sync (email address and progress stage only; resume content is never sent here)
