What we collect, and what happens to it.

This covers the SolutionGeek website and the account you create on it. It does not cover the competitions themselves. When you click through to Unstop, a company careers page or a college form, you are on someone else's site under someone else's policy, and we have no part in what they collect.

SolutionGeek is an independent project. It is not affiliated with any organiser listed on it.

Nothing is collected from you unless you create an account.

This is the most sensitive thing you give us, so here is the whole path it takes.

You upload a PDF. The server reads the text out of it in memory and the file itself is never saved — not to our database, not to disk, not to any storage bucket. It exists for the length of one request and is gone.

What we keep afterwards is the extracted text, capped at the first 20,000 characters, a structured summary of it, and the date you uploaded it. The text is kept so that re-scoring against newly listed competitions doesn't make you upload the file again.

To produce the scores, that text is sent to Groq, along with the details of up to 25 open competitions and the MBA year you told us. Groq's services agreement states that Groq is not permitted to use inputs or outputs to train or fine-tune models unless the customer explicitly allows it, and their documentation states that by default they do not retain data from inference requests, other than for up to 30 days where needed to investigate abuse or troubleshoot errors. We have not granted any training permission.

Your resume is never shown to another user, and it is never sent to a competition organiser.

Four companies process data on our behalf. They are listed here with what each one actually receives.

These are international services, so your data may be processed on servers outside India.

• We do not sell your data. There is no arrangement under which anyone pays us for it.
• We do not run advertising, and there are no third-party ad or tracking scripts on this site.
• We do not send your resume, your name or your email to competition organisers.
• We do not post anything anywhere on your behalf.

For as long as your account exists. We do not currently expire data on a schedule — your tracked competitions and your resume text stay until you change them or delete your account.

Match scores are the exception. Every time you upload a new resume, all of your existing scores are deleted and replaced, because a score computed against an old resume is worse than no score.

You can delete your account yourself, at any time, from your account settings. It is immediate and it is not reversible.

Deleting your account removes:

• your profile, including college, year, specialisation and preferred domains
• your resume text, the summary derived from it, and the upload date
• every match score and its reasoning
• every competition you tracked, with its status, notes and team member names
• your saved competitions
• your sign-in identity

Competitions you submitted to the site are kept, because other people rely on those listings — but the link between the listing and you is removed, so it is no longer attributable to you.

Deletion removes the data from our database immediately. Our providers may retain it briefly in routine backups before those expire.

The site is served over HTTPS. Passwords are hashed by Supabase Auth; we never see or store a plaintext password. Access to the database is restricted to the application.

We would rather be plain than reassuring: this is a small, independently run project, not an organisation with a security team. No system is perfectly secure. Please do not put anything in a tracking note that you would be harmed by seeing disclosed.

SolutionGeek is built for MBA students in India and is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

If what we collect or who we send it to changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves. This page describes how SolutionGeek actually works as of that date — it is a description of practice, not legal advice.
