Our platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) services to provide certain features. When you use AI-powered features, the following data processing occurs:

• CV Text Extraction: When you upload a CV, we extract the text content using automated document parsing. This extracted text is stored securely in our database.
• AI Summarisation: Extracted CV text is sent to third-party AI service providers (such as OpenAI or Google) for structured summarisation of your skills, experience, and industry. These summaries are stored in our database and used to personalise future AI-generated content.
• Cover Letter & Email Generation: Your CV summary, along with company and vacancy details, is sent to AI providers to generate personalised cover letters and emails. The generated content is stored in your account.

Third-Party AI Service Providers

By using our AI features, you acknowledge that portions of your data (including CV text, skills summaries, and professional information) may be processed by third-party AI providers. These providers have their own privacy policies and data handling practices. We select providers who maintain appropriate security standards, but we cannot guarantee how they process data once transmitted.

Data Retention for AI Features

• CV summaries are retained for as long as your account is active
• Generated cover letters and emails are retained as part of your application records
• Template usage records are retained for service improvement and rotation logic
• You may request deletion of AI-generated data by contacting us or deleting your account

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information. However, despite our efforts, no electronic transmission or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data, and you provide it at your own risk.

In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected users in accordance with applicable laws.

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:

• Access to the data we hold about you
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion of your data under certain circumstances
• Restriction or objection to processing
• Data portability

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on our platform or by other means. Your continued use of our services after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
