What Wideview is
Wideview is a private professional network tool. It is not a social platform, does not carry advertising, and does not monetize user data in any form. It is built for individuals who want a careful, private record of their professional relationships and career history.
What data we store
Wideview stores only the information you explicitly enter: your profile, work history, education, contacts, notes, timeline entries, and geography. None of this data is shared with third parties, indexed by search engines, or visible to anyone other than you — unless you choose to connect with another Wideview user, in which case only your public profile fields are shared with that specific person.
How your data is protected
Your data is protected at three independent layers:
- Route protection. Every page in the application requires a valid login session before it will load. Unauthenticated requests are redirected to the login screen before any data is touched.
- Application-level ownership checks. Every write operation — creating, editing, or deleting any record — verifies in code that the requesting user owns that record. A user cannot modify or delete another user's data even if they somehow obtained the record's ID.
- Database-level Row Level Security (RLS). The underlying database enforces access rules directly. Even if someone bypassed the application entirely and queried the database with Wideview's public API key, they would only ever receive their own rows. Private tables — Chronicle entries, contacts, notes — are completely inaccessible to other users at the database level. Semi-public tables — profiles, work history, education — are readable by any authenticated Wideview user (necessary for network features) but writable only by the owner.
Authentication
Authentication is handled by Supabase Auth using email and password. Sessions are stored in browser cookies and automatically refreshed. Passwords are never stored in plaintext — they are hashed by Supabase's authentication system before storage.
Third-party services
Wideview uses the following third-party services to operate:
- Supabase — database and authentication hosting.
- Anthropic Claude — AI features such as resume parsing and contact synergy analysis. Data sent to Claude is not retained or used for training.
Data deletion
You may request full deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting the administrator. Deletion is permanent and covers all records across every table — contacts, notes, timeline entries, work history, education, profile, and authentication credentials.
Changes to this notice
If this notice changes materially, users will be informed. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last updated.
