This Privacy Policy explains how Aasha Technologies (“Aasha”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses and shares personal information through the Aasha app, website, survey and Aashatype Cards (the “Service”).
The most important point: we share your Aashatype Card, including your name and photo, with Signed Employers only when you choose to share it, and you can stop sharing at any time.
1. Information We Collect
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiers and contact details | Name, email address, phone number, city and state | You |
| Profile photo | A photo you upload (optional) | You |
| Survey answers | Your answers to the Aasha survey | You, through our survey provider |
| Aashatype profile | Archetype, trait scores, charts, motivations, Bring and Need statements | Created by us from your answers and choices |
| Eligibility information | Confirmation that you are at least 16 and allowed to work | You |
| Professional information | Work experience, skills or job preferences you choose to give | You |
| Device and usage data | Device type, operating system, app version, IP address, crash logs, pages and features used | Your device, automatically |
| Communications | Emails and support messages between you and us | You |
We do not ask for, and ask you not to include, Social Security numbers, government ID numbers, health information, or information about your race, religion, sexual orientation or other sensitive characteristics.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- create, review and deliver your Aashatype Card;
- share your card with Signed Employers when you have chosen to share it;
- check that you meet the minimum age and work eligibility requirements;
- operate, secure, fix and improve the Service;
- communicate with you about your card, your account and changes to our terms;
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
We do not use your photo for facial recognition or any other biometric identification.
3. How We Share Your Information
With Signed Employers, at your direction. If you choose to share your card, we share it with businesses that have signed an agreement with us. They receive your card, including your name, photo, Aashatype profile, Bring and Need statements and the contact details you choose to include. Their agreement with us limits use to evaluating you for jobs, bans resale, and requires them to keep the data secure and delete it on request.
With service providers. We use trusted providers to run the Service, such as survey tools, cloud hosting, email delivery and analytics. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
For legal reasons. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, where the new owner must keep this policy’s protections.
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
4. Your Choices About Sharing
You decide whether your card is shared with employers. You can turn sharing on or off in your account settings or by emailing support@aasha.com. When you turn sharing off, we stop sending your card to new employers and instruct employers who already received it to delete it.
You can remove your profile photo at any time. Your card will then be shown without it.
5. Minimum Age
The Service is for people who are at least 16 years old and legally allowed to work. Candidates aged 16 and 17 may use the Service to find part-time and summer jobs, as allowed under applicable child labor laws. Signed Employers must use the Service through a representative who is at least 18. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If we learn we have, we delete it and do not share it with any employer. If you believe a person under 16 has used the Service, contact us at support@aasha.com.
6. How Long We Keep Your Information
| Information | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Account, survey answers and Aashatype Card | While your account is active, plus 24 months after your last activity |
| Profile photo | Until you remove it or delete your account |
| Records of your sharing consent | 3 years after consent ends, to show we followed your choices |
| Device and usage data | 12 months |
| Support communications | 24 months |
When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your information within 30 days, except where the law requires us to keep it longer.
7. How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including encryption in transit, access controls and limited staff access. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please keep your device and login details secure.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- know what personal information we hold about you and how we use and share it;
- get a copy of your information;
- correct inaccurate information;
- delete your information;
- withdraw consent to sharing your card with employers;
- not be treated differently for using these rights.
To use these rights, email support@aasha.com or use your account settings. We will confirm your identity before acting on a request. An authorized agent may make a request for you with your written permission.
9. Additional Information for California Residents
If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, gives you the rights listed in section 8 and the following additional protections.
- Categories collected: identifiers, personal records (name, contact details, photo), professional or employment-related information, inferences drawn to create a profile (your Aashatype profile), and internet or device activity. Sources, purposes and retention are set out in sections 1, 2 and 6.
- Disclosures: we disclose identifiers, personal records, professional information and profile inferences to Signed Employers only when you direct us to, and all categories to service providers for business purposes.
- Sale and sharing: we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we have not done so in the past 12 months. We do not knowingly sell or share the information of consumers under 16.
- Sensitive personal information: we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would give rise to a right to limit its use.
- Shine the Light: we do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
10. International Users
Aasha operates from Florida and California, United States, and stores information in the United States. If you use the Service from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. We will post the new version on this page with a new effective date. If a change materially affects how we share your Aashatype Card, we will notify you directly and ask for your consent again where the law requires it.
