Effective May 24, 2025
Thrivania (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is an AI-powered talent ecosystem that connects candidates, employers, and co-founders. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform, including our website, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of our Services, whether you are a registered member (“Member”) or a visitor browsing our public pages (“Visitor”). By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through our Services or by other means to give you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. Your continued use of our Services after changes are published constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
To create an account, you provide your name, email address, and password, or sign in through a third-party provider (such as Google, Microsoft, GitHub, or LinkedIn). If you use a third-party sign-in, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from that provider.
You may provide additional information on your profile, such as your work experience, education, skills, career goals, personality assessments, Ikigai results, location, and professional summary. You choose what information to include; however, a more complete profile helps our AI matching algorithms provide better results. Please do not include sensitive personal information you would not want to be shared with potential employers or co-founders.
We collect data when you post content (articles, updates, comments), react to or share others' content, participate in challenges or assessments, upload resumes or documents, send messages, or submit job applications through our Services.
When you communicate through our Services (sending messages, connection requests, or chat with our AI assistant), we collect the content of those communications. We use automated systems to support features such as AI-powered profile generation, message notifications, and content moderation.
If you purchase premium services, we collect billing and payment information. Payment card details are processed by our payment service provider and are not stored on our servers.
Other users may post content that includes information about you (such as mentioning you in posts or comments). Employers may provide feedback or application status updates that reference you.
We may receive information from employers or recruitment partners who use our Services, such as job application data or information about positions you may be eligible for.
When you sign in using Google, Microsoft, GitHub, or LinkedIn, we receive basic profile information (name, email, profile photo) as authorized by you through the provider's consent screen.
We log usage data when you visit or use our Services, including pages viewed, content clicked, searches performed, features used, the date and time of your visit, and referring URLs. We use this data to understand how our Services are used and to improve them.
We collect information about the devices you use to access our Services, including IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, and general location information (city or region level) derived from your IP address. We do not collect precise GPS location.
We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to recognize you, remember your preferences, understand how you use our Services, and improve your experience. See Section 5 for details.
Our AI systems generate inferences and insights about you based on the data you provide and your usage of our Services. This includes AI-generated profile summaries, personality type assessments, Ikigai analysis, skills recommendations, job match scores, and co-founder compatibility assessments. These AI-generated insights are stored as part of your profile and are used to improve matching accuracy. You can review and edit AI-generated content in your profile settings.
We contact you through email, in-app notifications, and push notifications about:
You can manage your notification preferences in your account settings.
We use artificial intelligence and automated systems to analyze your profile data, work history, skills, and preferences to generate match scores, career recommendations, and personalized content. Our AI assistant (powered by Azure OpenAI) helps you build your profile through conversational interviews. We use AI to moderate content and detect potential violations of our Community Guidelines. You can learn more about our approach to responsible AI in our Community Guidelines.
We use aggregated and de-identified data to conduct research on labor market trends, skills demand, and platform effectiveness. We may publish insights based on aggregated data that does not identify individual users. We use usage data to improve our matching algorithms, user experience, and service reliability.
We use your data to protect the security and integrity of our Services, prevent fraud, detect and investigate suspicious activity, enforce our User Agreement and Community Guidelines, and comply with legal obligations.
We use your data to generate aggregated, non-identifying insights such as platform usage statistics, job market analytics, and skills trends. Employers may see aggregated data about applicant pools (e.g., number of applicants, general skill distributions) but not individual data without your consent.
We provide you with choices about how your data is collected, used, and shared. You can exercise these rights through your account settings or by contacting us.
Request a copy of your personal data. You can download your data at any time from your account settings.
Update or correct your information through your profile or settings. You can also contact us to request corrections.
Request deletion of your account and personal data from your account settings. Some data may be retained as described in Section 7.
Export your data in a machine-readable JSON format. Download includes your profile, posts, and settings.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services. If you request deletion of your account, we will generally delete or anonymize your data within 30 days, except where we need to retain data to:
Content you have shared with others (such as posts and messages) may remain visible even after account closure, as we do not control copies that other users may have made. Hibernated accounts retain all data but are hidden from other users; they automatically reactivate on your next sign-in.
We implement technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data, including:
All data in transit is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with industry-standard salt rounds.
Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who need it to operate, develop, or improve our Services.
Our Services are hosted on Google Cloud Platform, which provides enterprise-grade physical and network security.
We monitor our systems for security vulnerabilities, unauthorized access attempts, and suspicious activity.
While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account and to keep your sign-in credentials confidential.
