Your privacy

Next Step PM is a personal project by Rinaz Jainudeen. It isn't affiliated with any employer, and it isn't a business.

Your answers live in the web address of your plan, so you can bookmark or share it. They aren't sent to a database. The ticks, “Already done”, “Not relevant” and your self-check are saved in your own browser only, and you can clear them by clearing your browser's data for this site.

When you finish the questions, one is added to a count of plans built that day, by kind of plan (such as building a product or exploring the role). Nothing about you is stored with it.

The feedback form at the bottom of each plan stores:

• your rating, from 1 to 5
• your comment, if you write one
• your plan's answers, which are categories only, such as your kind of work, your level and your phase
• the date, and which version of the site you used

It doesn't store your name, email, company or network address. Please don't include anything in your comment that identifies you or your employer.

To stop the form being misused, the site keeps a scrambled version of your network address in its memory for up to an hour. It's never written to the database, and it can't be turned back into your address.

Feedback shows whether plans are useful and what's missing, so the plans can be improved. The count of plans built shows whether people use the site.

Feedback is deleted 12 months after it's sent. The daily counts of plans built are totals with nothing about you in them.

Only Rinaz. Feedback is never shared, sold or published, and it isn't used to train AI.

• Supabase stores the feedback and the counts, on servers in Frankfurt, Germany.
• Resend sends Rinaz an email with each piece of feedback.
• Vercel hosts the site, and its Web Analytics counts page visits without cookies and without identifying you.

The site sets no cookies of its own.

Send Rinaz a message on LinkedIn (opens in a new tab). Because feedback has no name on it, say roughly when you sent it and what it said, and it will be found and deleted.

You also have the right to ask what's held about you, and to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (opens in a new tab).
