Privacy policy

Truebar (truebar.app) helps software engineers in India book mock interviews with engineers from their target companies. Truebar is run by Aniket Pandey, an individual based in India. This page explains what personal data we collect, why, and the choices you have. Questions: support@truebar.app.

What we collect today

• Account details: your email address. If you sign in with Google, we also receive your first name and a Google account ID. We don't receive your Google password and we don't access your Gmail, contacts or files.
• Login security data: when you ask for an email code, we store a scrambled (hashed) form of the code, the time, and your IP address, so we can expire codes and stop abuse. Codes expire after 10 minutes and work once.
• Session data: a cookie that keeps you logged in for up to 30 days. We store only a hashed form of it, plus the browser name and IP address used to log in.

We don't use advertising cookies or trackers, and we don't sell your data.

What we'll collect once booking opens

Booking, payments and interview sessions aren't live yet. Before they launch we'll update this page to cover them, including: bookings and feedback; payments through Razorpay (we won't see or store full card or UPI details); and recordings of interview sessions, which we'll only make with your consent at checkout. For interviewers, we'll keep the verified company domain, never the work email address itself.

Why we use it

• To create your account and log you in.
• To send emails you need, such as login codes.
• To keep the service secure, for example rate-limiting login attempts.
• To answer your support requests.

Who processes it for us

We use these providers to run Truebar. They handle data only to provide their service to us:

• Supabase: database, hosted in Tokyo, Japan
• Fly.io: our API servers, in Tokyo, Japan
• Vercel: our website
• Resend: sending emails
• Google: "Continue with Google" sign-in
• Cloudflare: domain name and email forwarding

This means your data is stored and processed outside India, mainly in Japan. We may share data if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

• Account details: while your account is open.
• Login codes stop working after 10 minutes. Old codes and login-attempt records are kept only as long as needed for security, and we remove them regularly.
• Sessions: until they expire or you log out.

Your rights

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, correct it, or delete your account and data. You can also withdraw consent at any time. Email support@truebar.app from the address on your account and we'll respond within 30 days. You can also raise a grievance with us at the same address.

Age

Truebar is for people aged 18 or over.

Changes

We'll update this page as Truebar grows and change the date at the top. For significant changes we'll email you before they take effect.
