F-1 Careers is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights. We designed this service for a community that often has significant concerns about data privacy, we take that seriously.
F-1 Careers ("we", "us", "our") is an immigration strategy platform for international students and professionals navigating F-1, OPT, H-1B, L-1, and EB-2 NIW / EB-1A pathways in the United States. Our services include a free public Risk Score tool, AI-generated immigration strategy reports, and employer workforce audit services.
Public tools (no account required)
When you use our free Risk Score or ROI Calculator tools, we do not collect personally identifiable information. We collect anonymous, aggregated usage data (e.g., country distributions, visa type distributions) to improve the tools. No questionnaire answers are stored or linked to any individual.
Account creation
When you create an account: your email address and password (managed by Supabase Auth). Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text.
Profile and questionnaire
When you complete a profile: your name, university, degree, field of study, graduation date, visa status, LinkedIn URL, and resume (optional). When you complete a questionnaire, your professional background, research contributions, awards, publications, and immigration goals are used to generate your AI strategy reports. These responses are stored in your account.
Payments
When you subscribe or purchase a report, your payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store card numbers or full payment details, only a Stripe customer ID and subscription status.
Employer leads
When your company submits a workforce audit request, we collect your company name, contact name, work email, company size, and optional message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry.
Your questionnaire responses and profile information are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate personalized immigration strategy reports and career recommendations. Anthropic processes this data according to their privacy policy at anthropic.com/privacy.
We use your email to send report-ready notifications and service updates. We do not send marketing emails without your explicit consent.
We use Stripe to process subscription payments and one-time report purchases.
We use Supabase (hosted on AWS) to store your data securely with row-level security, your data is accessible only by your account.
