Privacy
This page explains what personal information Minha collects, why, who processes it on our behalf, how long we keep it, and what you can do about it.
What we collect
- Account: email address, optional display name, interface language, password (stored only as a secure hash), and the Google account identifier if you sign in with Google.
- Study profile: nationality and residence, qualifications, desired levels, fields, destinations, languages, and funding needs. Grades, language test results, experience, and age are optional and asked for only when a result depends on them.
- Your work: saved opportunities, applications, tasks, notes, drafts and their history, and assistant conversations.
- Payments: the plan you chose, the payment reference, the amount, the receipt you upload, and the verification record.
- Messages you send to support, and feedback you choose to give.
- Technical records: sign-in sessions, email delivery status, and server logs needed to run and secure the service.
How we use it
- To provide the service: match opportunities to your profile, keep your work, send the reminders and updates you asked for, and answer support requests.
- To verify payments and manage your access.
- To keep the service secure and to fix problems.
- To improve the product using aggregate counts, such as how many students saved an opportunity. These counts never include the text of your drafts or conversations, or your exact grades.
We do not sell your information and we do not show advertising.
AI processing
When you use the assistant or draft suggestions, your question and the context you choose to share (for example one draft version or selected profile facts) are sent to an external AI provider to generate the answer. Nothing else from your account is sent. You decide what to share each time.
Service providers
We use a small number of providers that process data on our behalf: our server hosting provider, an email delivery service for account and reminder emails, the AI provider described above, and Google if you choose to sign in with Google. They may only use the data to provide their service to us.
How long we keep it
- Your work: 12 months after your last paid period ends, with email warnings 30 and 7 days before removal. Accounts that were never activated are removed after 12 months of inactivity.
- Payment receipts: 90 days after the payment is approved, rejected, or cancelled.
- Payment and subscription records: 24 months after the transaction.
- Server logs: 30 days. They never contain your drafts, conversations, or receipts.
- Backups: up to 30 days, encrypted.
Your choices and rights
- See and correct your account and profile at any time in the app.
- Export your work as a file from your account.
- Choose which notifications and emails you receive, or unsubscribe from optional emails with one click.
- Delete your account from Account settings. You are signed out at once and your personal data and work are erased within 7 days; payment records are kept for the period above.
You can also contact us about any request concerning your personal data. We handle it under the applicable data protection law, including Algerian Law No. 18-07 on the protection of natural persons in the processing of personal data.
Cookies and browser storage
We use one cookie to keep you signed in. Your browser also stores your language choice and, until the server has saved it, any draft text you typed, so it is not lost if your connection drops. This copy is removed when you sign out. We use no advertising or tracking cookies.
