Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Interview Intel ("we", "our", or "the extension") is a Chrome extension that helps you capture and organize software engineering interview experiences from 1point3acres.com into a personal, searchable question library.

What data we collect

When you use the extension to capture an interview post, the following data is collected and sent to your Interview Intel account:

• The URL of the 1point3acres interview post
• The post title and raw text content
• Metadata you provide: company name, job level, role, and interview round

We also collect your email address and a hashed password when you register for an account.

What data we do NOT collect

• We do not track your browsing history
• We do not collect data from any website other than 1point3acres interview post pages you explicitly choose to capture
• We do not collect analytics, crash reports, or telemetry
• We do not store your password in plain text — it is hashed with bcrypt before storage

How your data is stored

All data you capture is stored in your own Interview Intel account on our API server (hosted on Railway). Data is scoped exclusively to your account — no other user can access your data.

Your login session (API key) is stored locally in your browser's chrome.storage.local and is never transmitted to any third party.

Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any third party. The only external service your captured data is sent to is the Anthropic Claude API, which is used to analyze and extract interview questions from the post content you capture. Anthropic's privacy policy applies to this processing.

Data deletion

You can delete any or all of your data at any time from the Interview Intel dashboard. Deleting your account removes all associated interviews, questions, and experiences from our servers.

Permissions

The extension requests the following browser permissions:

• storage — stores your login session and last-used form selections (company, level, role, round) locally so you don't have to re-enter them each visit
• activeTab — reads the content of the current tab when you click "Capture" to extract the interview post text
• scripting — injects the content reader into interview post pages to extract text when the tab was opened before the extension loaded
• host permissions (1point3acres.com) — reads interview post content from pages you navigate to on 1point3acres.com
• host permissions (railway.app) — communicates with the Interview Intel API to save and analyze your captured data
