Your data, how we use it

ChangeCV ("we", "us") helps you build and maintain a structured Master Profile of your career history, and generate role-specific CVs from it. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the app, how we use it, and what control you have over it.

• Account information. Your name and email address, handled by our authentication provider (Clerk) when you sign up or log in.
• Career data you enter. Everything you add to your Master Profile: personal details and links, summaries, work experience, projects, skills, education, achievements, certifications, languages, interests, and any custom sections.
• Uploaded documents. If you use the CV import feature, we temporarily process the PDF or Word file you upload to extract text, so you can review and save it to your profile. The file itself is not kept longer than needed to complete the import.
• CV configurations. The target role, section order, template choice, and which profile items you've selected for each CV you create.
• Basic technical data. Standard server logs (timestamps, error traces) needed to operate and debug the service. We do not log the contents of your resume or your contact details.

• To store your Master Profile and let you generate CVs from it.
• To render CV previews and generate PDF/DOCX exports you request.
• To keep your account secure and show you only your own data.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the reliability of the service.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not send your career data to a third-party AI model or use it to train one. We do not use your data for advertising or share it with recruiters or employers without your explicit action (such as downloading a file yourself and sending it).

Your Master Profile and CV configurations are stored in our database, scoped to your account. Access to your records is enforced server-side — only requests authenticated as you can read or modify your data. We don't publish or expose your profile data through any public URL unless you explicitly use a sharing feature we clearly label as public.

We keep your Master Profile and CVs for as long as your account is active, so you can keep reusing and updating them. Uploaded import files are processed and then discarded; we don't retain the original document after its content has been added to your profile. If you delete your account, we delete the associated career data within a reasonable operational period.

• You can review, edit, or delete any item in your Master Profile at any time.
• You can delete individual CVs, or your entire account, from Settings.
• You can request a copy of the data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by contacting us (see Section 9).

We use essential cookies/local storage required to keep you signed in and to remember your consent to this policy and our Terms.

We also use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to understand how the site and app are used (for example, which pages are visited and which features are clicked). These set analytics cookies and send usage data such as page views, device and browser information, and approximate location to Google. We do not send the contents of your Master Profile or CVs to analytics. We do not use advertising cookies. Analytics cookies are off until you accept them in the cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time: Change your cookie choice. You can also block them in your browser settings.

ChangeCV is intended for people old enough to be building a professional resume and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

If we make a material change to this policy, we'll ask you to review and accept the updated version before you continue using the app. For privacy questions or data requests, contact us at privacy@changecv.com.
