Privacy Policy

simplytk ("we", "us") operates this website at simplytk.com and is the data controller for the personal data described here. For anything privacy related, including questions, complaints or requests about your data, email simplytk.business@gmail.com.

Account details. Your email address and password (stored by our authentication provider, never readable by us) when you create an account. If you verify a university affiliation, the university email address you verify with and the inferred university name.

Leaderboard profile. The username you choose and your game scores. Usernames and scores appear on public leaderboards; your email address never does.

Documents you upload. CVs you upload for the CV tools and personal statements you draft or submit for review. These usually contain significant personal information, and we treat them accordingly: they are stored privately, never shown to other users, and only processed to provide the feature you used them with.

AI tool inputs. What you send to the AI features (CV rater, personal statement builder, interview prep, practice, study coach, health coach) and the responses, so the tools work and you can revisit results.

Health coach conversations. If you use the health coach, the messages you exchange with it. Health information is sensitive, so this feature is opt-in by nature: nothing is collected unless you choose to use it, and you can ask us to delete its history at any time.

Application tracking. The internships you save, application stages you record, study marks you log and deadline alerts you sign up for.

Payments. Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe and never touch our servers; we receive confirmation of the payment and what it was for.

Usage analytics. First party product events such as pages viewed, games played and tools used, stored in our own database. We do not use third party advertising or tracking networks.

To provide the features you use (contract), to keep the service secure, rate limited and cheat free on the leaderboards, and to understand which features are worth improving (legitimate interests), and to send you emails you asked for such as deadline alerts, verification codes and digests (consent, withdrawable any time via the unsubscribe link in every email). We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Only the processors needed to run the service: Supabase (database, authentication and file storage), Stripe (payments), our email delivery provider (transactional emails and alerts, sent from notify.simplytk.com), and AI model providers (currently Google and OpenAI models) that process the text you submit to AI features in order to generate a response.

We never post your data publicly except the leaderboard username and scores you chose to compete with, and your university's name in aggregated university rankings.

We use browser local storage to keep you signed in and remember preferences. These are strictly necessary for the site to function. We do not use third party advertising cookies or cross site trackers, which is why there is no cookie banner.

For as long as you have an account, so your scores, documents and tracking history stay available to you. Delete your account, or email us asking us to, and we delete the personal data associated with it. Aggregated statistics that identify nobody (like total games played) may be retained.

Under UK GDPR you can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, or export it in a portable format. Email simplytk.business@gmail.com and we will respond within a month. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

simplytk is designed for students aged 16 and over preparing for university and early careers. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will be flagged on the site.
