Last updated 11 November 2026. This page explains exactly what this platform stores, where it lives, and how you get it back or delete it. It covers this platform only — not the official isdb-bisew.org site.
Who runs this platform
An independent project. It is not operated by, endorsed by, or affiliated with IsDB-BISEW. Official records stay on isdb-bisew.org; this site only mirrors public content and lets you keep your own notes about it.
What we store
- Account: name, email, hashed password, language and timezone, email verification state, notification preferences.
- Your workspace: saved notices, application tracker entries and their status history, reminders, and any documents you upload.
- Security logs: login timestamps and API tokens (hashed), so a session can be revoked.
- No tracking pixels, no third-party analytics scripts, no advertising cookies on this build.
We never store your IsDB-BISEW password, and we do not ask for it. Do not reuse it here.
Where it lives
Account and workspace data live in this platform's own MySQL database on our server. Uploaded documents are stored outside the web root and are served only to your own authenticated session. Public content (notices, programmes) is mirrored into search indexes — personal data is never indexed.
Cookies
One essential cookie holds an encrypted session token so you stay signed in. It is httpOnly, is not readable by JavaScript, and expires after 30 days or when you sign out. There are no advertising or cross-site cookies.
AI answers
When you use the ask box, your question is used to retrieve matching public notices and is sent to a language model that runs on our own infrastructure to compose the answer. Questions are not used to train models and are not shared with third-party AI providers. Answers are grounded in mirrored notices and always show their sources.
Retention
Your data stays while your account exists. Deleting your account soft-deletes the profile, revokes every session and removes your uploaded documents. Nightly database backups are kept for 14 days, after which deleted data is gone from backups too.
Your rights, in the product
- Export everything as JSON:
GET /api/v1/me/export(or ask support). - Delete your account from the workspace settings, or by emailing [email protected].
- Correct your profile at any time.
Children
The platform is intended for applicants, trainees and alumni. If you are under 16, use it with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
