Who We Are

Blaze Apply ("we", "us", "our") is an internship job search platform that aggregates publicly available job listings and helps students find and track internship opportunities. We are operated by the Blaze Apply team and can be reached at privacy@blazeapply.com.

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a user. By creating an account or using Blaze Apply, you agree to this policy.

How We Use Your Data

We do not use your resume or application data for advertising. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Data Storage & Security

While we use industry-standard security practices, no system is 100% secure. If we learn of a security incident that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by law. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.

Third-Party Services

Blaze Apply uses the following third-party services to operate:

Each of these services has their own privacy policy. We only share data with them to the extent necessary to operate Blaze Apply. Loading fonts and scripts from these services shares your IP address with them, as with any website.

The job listings shown in Blaze Apply come from publicly available sources, such as company career pages and public job boards. We link to the original posting and do not control the content or privacy practices of the sites we link to.

Push Notifications

If you enable push notifications, your browser sends us a push subscription token. We use this solely to notify you about new internship postings that match your profile. Logging out turns notifications off for that browser, and logging back in turns them on again. You can also turn them off with the Notifications switch in your dashboard or in your browser settings. Disabling notifications does not affect any other part of your account.

Local Storage

We store your authentication token, username and app preferences (such as your notification setting) in your browser's localStorage to keep you logged in between sessions. This data stays on your device and is cleared when you log out. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

Your Rights (CCPA & General)

As a user you have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@blazeapply.com with the subject line "Privacy Request". We will respond within 30 days.

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information and do not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights.

Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account (Settings → Delete Account), we immediately and permanently delete your account record, résumé text, extracted skills, job application history, match scores, activity events and push subscription. Copies in our hosting providers' backups, if any, expire on their normal schedule.

IP addresses from sign-up and log-in attempts are not linked to your account and are kept for security and abuse prevention.

Aggregate, anonymized analytics (such as total job counts) may be retained indefinitely as they contain no personally identifiable information.

Children's Privacy

Blaze Apply is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from users under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Blaze Apply after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
