• Cookies and similar technologies - small data files stored on your device that help us understand usage patterns and improve the Service (see Section 4 for details).

1.3 Information We Do Not Collect

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide the Service - processing your resume data and job descriptions to generate tailored resumes using AI technology.
• To improve the Service - analyzing usage patterns to identify bugs, optimize performance, and develop new features.
• To communicate with you - responding to your inquiries, providing customer support, and sending occasional product updates, tips, and newsletters (only if you have given your consent).
• To ensure security - monitoring for fraudulent or abusive activity and enforcing our Terms of Service.
• To comply with legal obligations - responding to lawful requests from public authorities or as required by applicable law.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers - we engage trusted third-party providers to perform functions on our behalf, including AI processing services that power our resume tailoring feature, cloud hosting and infrastructure services that store and deliver our website, and form data processing services that handle contact form submissions. These providers only receive the data necessary to perform their specific functions and are contractually obligated to protect your information.
• Legal requirements - we may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
• Business transfers - in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies - necessary for the Service to function properly. These cookies enable core functionality such as remembering your resume profile locally in your browser and processing form submissions. The Service cannot operate without these cookies.
• Analytics cookies - help us understand how visitors interact with the Service by collecting information about pages visited, time spent, and features used. This data is aggregated and anonymized.
• Preference cookies - remember choices you make, such as your cookie consent status and density preference (detailed vs. concise).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. However, disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Service. By continuing to use our Service without changing your settings, you consent to our use of cookies.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your resume profile information is stored locally in your browser using local storage technology. This means your resume data remains on your device and is not stored on our servers unless you explicitly submit it through a form.

When you use the resume tailoring feature, your resume information and job description are transmitted to our AI processing service to generate the tailored output. This transmission occurs over encrypted connections (TLS/SSL).

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy:

• Local storage data - your resume profile stored in your browser remains until you clear your browser data or use the "Clear Form" button in the resume form.
• Form submissions - contact form submissions and resume tailoring submissions are retained for customer service and analytics purposes. You may request deletion at any time.
• Usage data - aggregated and anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely for trend analysis.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access - request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction - request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion - request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain exceptions.
• Opt-out - unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe mechanism in our emails.
• Data portability - request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 9. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers. We ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information when transferred internationally.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
