Plain-English explanation of what Future Shoes stores and why. Last updated 20 August 2026.
Browsing without an account
If you explore careers without signing in, your saved careers and completed days are kept in your own browser's local storage. Nothing is sent to our servers until you create an account.
When you create an account
We store your email address, any name you give us, your saved careers and the results of career days you complete. This is held in our hosted database so you can pick things up on another device. If you had guest progress in your browser, it is copied into your account the first time you sign in.
Payments
Premium and school subscriptions are handled by our payment provider, Paddle, who acts as merchant of record. Card details are entered on Paddle's checkout and never reach Future Shoes. We receive and store your subscription status, plan and billing events so we know what access to give you.
We send account emails (sign-up confirmation, password reset) and subscription emails (welcome, payment problems). We keep a delivery log — recipient, template, status and any error — so we can debug failed sends. We do not sell your email address or pass it to advertisers.
Who processes your data
- Supabase — database, accounts and authentication
- Paddle — payments, invoices and subscription billing
- Resend — transactional email delivery
- Lovable/Cloudflare — application hosting
Schools
Where a school buys a licence, the school can see that seats are in use and aggregated, anonymised activity. Individual students' answers and results are not shared with staff unless the student chooses to share them.
Your choices
You can clear your local progress from your profile page, and you can ask us to delete your account and everything linked to it by emailing us. We will action deletion requests within 30 days. You can also ask for a copy of the data we hold about you.
