Introduction
PrepSnap ("we", "our", or "us") is a Chrome extension developed by Arcovate Tech that helps users prepare for job interviews by analysing job descriptions and generating AI-powered interview questions, company culture snapshots, and preparation checklists.
We are committed to full transparency, minimal data collection, and protecting your privacy at every step. This policy explains exactly what happens to your data when you use PrepSnap.
By installing and using PrepSnap, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
Data Collection and Usage
2.1 Job Description Content
PrepSnap processes job description content only when you explicitly click "Generate Interview Pack." Nothing is collected passively or in the background.
- Text is read from what you paste, highlight on a page, or link via Google Docs — never collected automatically
- Sent over HTTPS to our backend (a Supabase Edge Function) only on your explicit action
- Forwarded to the Groq API solely to generate your interview pack
- Never stored in any database or log after the response is returned
- Discarded immediately once the AI response is delivered to your browser
2.2 Google Docs / Drive Links
If you provide a Google Docs or Drive link, our backend fetches the plain text content of that document server-side. This only works with documents set to "Anyone with the link can view." The link and document content are processed entirely in memory and never stored anywhere.
2.3 Local Device Data
The following data is stored only on your device using Chrome's local storage API. It never leaves your device and is never transmitted to any server:
- Your dark / light theme preference
- Any text temporarily held between the right-click context menu action and the side panel opening (cleared immediately after use)
2.4 Payments — Not Applicable in v1.0
PrepSnap v1.0 is entirely free. There is no payment system, no subscription, and no billing of any kind in this version. We do not collect payment information, email addresses for purchase verification, or any financial data.
Permissions Justification
PrepSnap requests only the four permissions strictly necessary to function. No permission is used for tracking, surveillance, or any purpose beyond what is described below.
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| `activeTab` | Allows the extension to open the Chrome Side Panel on the currently active tab when you click the toolbar icon. No page content is read. |
| `contextMenus` | Adds the "Analyze with PrepSnap" option to the right-click menu when you highlight text on any page. Only the text you have already selected is captured — nothing else on the page is read. |
| `storage` | Saves your dark/light theme preference locally on your device only. Also used to temporarily pass selected text from the context menu to the side panel. No data is sent to any server via this permission. |
| `sidePanel` | Enables PrepSnap to display its interface inside Chrome's native side panel rather than a popup. Required by Chrome for all side panel extensions. |

4.1 Groq API (AI Processing)
Job description content is sent to Groq's API to generate your interview pack. Groq processes this text to produce questions, culture insights, and checklist items.
- Used only when you explicitly click "Generate Interview Pack"
- No personally identifiable information is sent — only the job description text you provide
- Groq does not retain API request data after processing per their data policy
- Groq does not use your data for AI model training via the API
4.2 Supabase (Backend Infrastructure)
Our edge function — which holds the Groq API key securely server-side — is hosted on Supabase (Project: glbwejyfmywjlbndjyeb). Job description content passes through Supabase's infrastructure as part of the API request and is not retained by Supabase on our behalf.
User Control
All data processing is triggered only by your explicit action. You can clear local storage or uninstall at any time to remove all extension data.
