3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect information about you:

When you use AI-powered features, the content you provide (such as resume text or job descriptions) may be sent to OpenAI or Google Gemini for processing. We do not permit these providers to use your data for training their models. Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their policies.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), secure authentication, and regular security reviews. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and resume data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Usage and analytics data may be retained in anonymized form for product improvement.
