Privacy

Diaspire is an international opportunity research and information service operated by Anco2 Innovations (A2I), based in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Canadian federal privacy law, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), is the primary framework governing how we handle your information.

Cornel Andrew Lyatuu is our Privacy Officer. Reach him at admin@anco2i.com.

When you answer the free matches questionnaire, your answers are saved in your own web browser so that closing the tab does not lose your progress. They are not stored on our servers.

This describes the free matches only, and it holds unless you ask us for something else. There are two places where you can: our short launch feedback form, which keeps what you write in exchange for a promo code and says so on the form; and the optional updates list, where you can ask us to hold your answers for 21 days so you can carry on from another device. Both are opt-in, both are described below, and neither happens by using the free matches.

To produce your matches, your answers are sent to us in a single request and matched against our route database. A summary of your answers (never your name or email, which the free matches do not ask for) is also sent to Anthropic, the AI provider whose Claude model writes the short verdict text on your result. Both copies are then discarded: we keep none, and under Anthropic's terms for the service we use, your answers are not used to train its models. What we do record is anonymous: which countries were matched and whether a next step was flagged, with nothing that identifies you.

Because the answers sit in your browser, they will still be there if you come back later , which also means they would be there for the next person if you are using a shared or public computer. Every teaser page has a Clear my answers from this browser button that removes them immediately.

Before you start, you tick a box to agree to our Terms and this notice. For the free matches, that agreement is remembered in your browser only and is not sent to us.

We do not ask for, and have no place to store, any of the following:

• ·Prior visa refusals, overstays, deportations or removals
• ·Your current immigration status
• ·Criminal record information
• ·Health, disability or accessibility information
• ·Your full date of birth: we ask only for birth month and year
• ·Language test scores such as IELTS or TOEFL: we ask only how you rate your own English

Where a route genuinely depends on one of these, we say so in general terms in your report and leave it to you to check against your own circumstances.

The questionnaire is short and every question is optional. You can skip anything and still get matches, a skipped answer is treated as unknown, never guessed at.

• ·What you want: work, study, settling long-term, or you are not sure yet
• ·Which parts of the world interest you
• ·Your passport country and where you live now
• ·Your birth month and year
• ·Whether you are travelling on a national passport, a refugee travel document, or something else
• ·Whether you would be moving alone or with family
• ·Your highest completed level of education, and in what field
• ·Whether you are studying at the moment, and roughly when you expect to finish
• ·If you are thinking of studying abroad, what level you are aiming for
• ·What kind of work you do and roughly how many years you have done it
• ·How you would rate your own English, and any other languages you speak
• ·Roughly how much you have saved, as a broad band rather than an amount

We ask these because programme rules genuinely turn on them. Some scholarships set different age limits depending on whether you apply for a master’s or a doctorate, and some accept students who will graduate before the course starts, without those two answers we would either hide options from you or show you ones you cannot win.

The matches screen offers to email you a copy. If you use it, your address is used for that single message and then discarded. It does not put you on any list, and we store nothing.

That is a different thing from the updates list below, which is the one place we do keep an address, and only if you ask us to, twice.

Separately, you can ask us to email you once a month about immigration, study and scholarship changes in up to five countries you choose. This is entirely optional, it is off unless you turn it on, and nothing about the free matches or a paid report depends on it.

Nothing happens until you confirm. When you submit the form we store what you asked for and send a confirmation link to your address. If you never click it, nothing takes effect and the whole record, address included, is deleted within 7 days. Clicking the link is what creates the subscription, and we record the date, the exact wording you agreed to, and where on the site you agreed to it.

That monthly email carries a short note from Diaspire about what we have added or improved, and we say so on the form before you agree. It travels inside the same message, so being on the list means one email a month in total, not two.

Every one of those emails carries a one-click unsubscribe link, and a link to change your countries. Your mail app’s own Unsubscribe button works too. We do not sell, rent or share your address, and we do not use it for anything except the monthly email.

What the monthly email contains, and what it does not. It is built from our weekly research, which is published first on our updates blog and is the same for everybody, plus what changed in our own route records. It contains nothing about you: not your questionnaire answers, not your matches, not anything we know or infer about your situation. The only thing in it that came from you is the list of countries you chose, which is what tells us which of our already-published findings to include. Two people who picked the same countries receive the same email.

The research itself is about countries, never about people. It reads public government pages and news reporting; it is not given your answers, your address, or anything else about any subscriber, and it could not be, it runs once per country and the result is shared by everyone who chose that country.

To send it we hold your address, the countries you chose, your consent record, and the date we last emailed you, that last one only so that you cannot be sent the same month’s update twice. Delivery is handled by Resend, listed below with the other services we use.

On the same form you can separately tick a box asking us to keep your questionnaire answers and the matches they produced for 21 days, so you can pick them up on another phone or computer. This is the only circumstance in which your free-matches answers are stored on our servers at all. Leave the box alone, which is how it starts, and they stay in your own browser exactly as described above.

There is still no account and no password. We email you a private link that loads the answers back; whoever holds that link can load them, so treat it as you would any other private link. After 21 days they are deleted automatically, the link stops working, and you can delete them yourself at any time before that from the same email.

We keep the answers and the matches, and nothing else. Unticking the box later deletes them immediately rather than waiting for the 21 days to run out.

To deliver a paid report we need your email address and the answers you give in the report questionnaire. Because a paid report is matched more precisely than the free matches, the report questionnaire asks a few things the free one does not:

• ·Your exact occupation, in your own words
• ·The title of your highest qualification and where you earned it
• ·Whether your profession needs a licence, and whether you hold one
• ·How many years you have worked in that occupation
• ·Whether you hold a current language test certificate such as IELTS or TOEFL, which test, never your score
• ·Your budget in US dollars: roughly how much you have available, and the most you would spend
• ·When you are hoping to move, and who would move with you

The report questionnaire also asks four optional questions. They help us decide which options to put first for you. They never decide what you qualify for, and leaving every one of them blank does not reduce your report in any way:

• ·Whether you already hold an offer of a place or a job
• ·How you finished your studies, as a broad band only, never a grade or a transcript
• ·Whether you have published academic or professional work, and roughly how much, never titles
• ·Whether anyone is helping to fund your move, such as family, an employer or a scholarship

We use them to generate the report, deliver it, and support you afterwards. Generating the report works the same way as the free matches: your questionnaire answers are sent to Anthropic, whose Claude model writes the report text from our route records, and are not used to train its models.

Payment is handled by Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe directly and never reach us, we never see or store them. Stripe has its own privacy policy covering the data it processes.

Before you pay, you tick a box to agree to our Terms and this notice. We keep a record with your order of the date you agreed and which version of the two pages you agreed to.

Your finished report file is stored so you can download it again, reachable only through the private link we send you. Report files are deleted automatically once they expire, and the linked record is anonymised at the same time. You can ask us to delete yours sooner.

This product needs more about you than anything else we do, because a CV is made of your history. We ask for:

• ·Your name, and the contact details you choose to show on the CV
• ·Each job: the employer, your job title, where it was, the months you started and finished, what you did and anything you achieved
• ·Each qualification: the institution, its exact title, and the years
• ·Any licences or certificates: what they are, who issued them, and the year
• ·Your skills, and the languages you speak with how well you speak them, never a test score
• ·The role and country you are aiming at, and the job advertisement or employer if you have one

Two details are yours to choose rather than ours to ask: whether your nationality and your year of birth appear on the CV. Some countries expect them and others discourage them. If you leave them off, they stay off. We never ask for a full date of birth.

If you ask us to improve a CV you already have, you upload that file and we read the text out of it. We accept Word and plain text files. The file is stored privately, is never shown to anyone, and is deleted with everything else below.

Your answers are sent to Anthropic, whose Claude model writes the documents, and are not used to train its models. Payment is handled by Stripe exactly as it is for a report, and we keep the same record of your agreement to our Terms and this notice.

What we delete, and when. You read a draft and confirm the facts before anything is finalised. As soon as your confirmed documents exist, we delete your questionnaire answers, the text we read from your upload, the uploaded file itself and the draft. The finished CV and cover letter are emailed to you as an attachment, and the copy we hold is deleted seven days later, so please save the attachment. If something goes wrong and your order fails, we keep your answers for a short period so we can put it right, and then delete them. We keep a record that each deletion happened, which contains no personal information.

The Permanent Residency questionnaire is free to answer, and answering it stores nothing: your answers are used once to find your matches and are gone when you close the tab, the same as the free matches above.

Buying the written list is different, and this is the difference. To make the document we have to keep your answers while it is produced. We store them with your order, use them to write the list, and then delete them: once the document exists, the answers that produced it are removed from our records. What we keep afterwards is the list of routes itself, so that we can answer you if you write to us asking why a route appeared, and your email address, so we can send you the file.

We ask nothing extra at this step. It is the same questionnaire either way, and it never asks for a passport number, an immigration file number, a test score, or anything about a refusal, an overstay or a criminal record. The list is built from your answers and from published government rules, and nothing in it is shared with anyone. As with a report, we keep a record with your order of the date you agreed to our Terms and this notice, and which version you agreed to.

The document is available for twelve months, and you can ask us to delete it and the order sooner.

We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and a few basic events, so we can see, for example, how many people finish the questionnaire. It does not use advertising cookies, does not build a profile of you, and does not follow you to other websites. We see totals, not individuals.

We do not sell, rent or trade your information. It is shared only with the services we need to run Diaspire, named here so you do not have to guess:

• ·Vercel: hosts the website (United States)
• ·Supabase: holds our database and finished report files (United States)
• ·Anthropic: the AI provider that writes match and report text from your answers (United States)
• ·Resend: sends our emails, such as your report delivery message (United States)
• ·Stripe: takes your payment; your card details go to Stripe directly and never reach us

Each processes your information only to provide its service to us, and where the law requires it. All of these operate outside Canada, so your information may be processed abroad and be subject to the laws of those countries, for all of them, the United States.

People who work with Diaspire can see your order and your finished document when they need to, for example to answer your question or fix a problem. Access is limited to the people who need it, and we keep a record of when documents are opened.

We never provide your information to immigration authorities, employers or institutions on your behalf. That is not something Diaspire does.

• ·Ask what personal information we hold about you and how we use it
• ·Ask us to correct anything inaccurate or incomplete
• ·Ask us to delete your information, subject to any legal or accounting duty to keep it
• ·Withdraw your consent
• ·Ask where your information has been sent, including outside Canada
• ·Complain about how we have handled it

Email admin@anco2i.com to exercise any of these. If you are not satisfied with our response you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca, or to your local data protection authority if another country's law applies to you.

Diaspire has no accounts and no passwords. You do not sign up, and there is nothing to log in to. If that changes we will update this page before it does.

Where something has to be private to you (your report, your updates settings, answers you asked us to keep), we do it with a private link sent to your email address instead of a login. That is why those links matter: anyone holding one can use it, and losing one is the only way to lose access.

This is our current, accurate description of how Diaspire handles information. A fuller policy is being prepared with legal review and will replace this page when it is ready; we will change the date above and, if the change is significant, say so plainly.
