Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Document content. Anything you type or paste to build a document. This can include your name, email address, phone number, address, work history, education, skills, languages, references, and the text of job postings.
• Profile photo. If you add a photo to your resume, we use it to place it in your resume template.
• Feedback and messages. If you send feedback in the App or email us, we receive what you write and, for email, your email address.

Information collected automatically

• Device and app data. Device model, iOS version, app version, language, and crash or error reports.
• Identifiers. Device-level identifiers used by our analytics, advertising and security providers, and a push notification token if you allow notifications. We access the advertising identifier (IDFA) only if you allow tracking (see Section 5).
• Usage data. Which screens and features you use, and basic events such as creating or exporting a document, including the document type and language.
• Purchase data. Which products you bought and your subscription status. Apple processes your payment. We never receive your card number or Apple ID password.

On the Site

• The Site uses Google Analytics 4. It sets cookies (named _ga and _ga_ followed by an identifier) and collects pages viewed, browser and device type, referral source, and approximate location based on your IP address.

2. How we use information

• To create your documents and run App features, including AI drafting, resume templates and PDF export.
• To process purchases, AI credits and subscriptions, and to restore them when you ask.
• To keep the App working, fix bugs, and prevent abuse and fraud (for example, verifying that requests to our servers come from the genuine App).
• To understand how the App and Site are used, and to improve them.
• To show and measure ads, and to attribute installs from Apple Search Ads (Section 5).
• To send notifications, if you allow them.
• To reply to your messages and feedback.
• To meet legal obligations.

3. AI processing

When you use an AI feature, such as generating a cover letter or writing a resume section, the App sends the content needed for that request to our servers (Google Cloud Functions on Firebase), which forward it to OpenAI. OpenAI generates text and our servers return it to the App.

• What is sent. The details you entered for that request, such as job title, work history, skills and the job description. We aim to send only what the request needs.
• How the provider handles it. OpenAI processes your content on our behalf to return a response. Under OpenAI’s API terms, content sent through its API is not used to train its models by default. OpenAI may keep requests for up to 30 days to detect abuse, then deletes them.
• AI can be wrong. Drafts may contain mistakes or details that aren’t true for you. Read every draft, correct it, and make sure it is accurate before you send it to an employer. We can’t promise any hiring outcome.
• Keep sensitive data out. Don’t put Social Security or other government ID numbers, bank details, or health information into your documents. A resume doesn’t need them.

4. Who we share information with

We share information only as described here.

These companies may use the information only to provide services to us, except where this policy says otherwise, such as advertising partners in Section 5.

We may also disclose information:

• To follow the law, respond to legal requests, or protect the rights, safety and security of users and the public.
• In a business transfer, such as a merger or sale of assets. We would tell you if your information became subject to a different policy.

We do not sell your personal information for money. We do not share your document content with advertising partners. US residents can also read Section 9.

5. Identifiers, tracking and advertising

The App shows ads from Google AdMob and uses Asalyze to measure Apple Search Ads campaigns. This is what that means for you.

• What “tracking” is. Linking data about you from our App with data from other companies’ apps and sites for advertising, or sharing it with data brokers.
• Where it can happen. Through the advertising and measurement providers listed in Section 4. They may collect device identifiers and, only with your permission, the advertising identifier (IDFA).
• Your choice on iOS. We access the IDFA only if you give permission through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you haven’t given permission, or choose “Ask App Not to Track,” we don’t access it. You can change this any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
• Ad consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Where required, the App shows Google’s consent form before personalized ads are served.
• Ads without tracking. If you opt out, ads may still appear, but they won’t be tailored using the tracking described here.
• Install attribution. Asalyze uses Apple’s AdServices framework to tell us whether an install came from an Apple Search Ads campaign. This does not require the IDFA.

6. Analytics

• App. We use Google Firebase (Google Analytics for Firebase and Crashlytics) to see which features are used and where crashes and errors happen.
• Site. We use Google Analytics 4. You can block these cookies in your browser settings or install Google’s opt-out browser add-on. Learn how Google handles this data in “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services” (policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).

7. Purchases and subscriptions

The App is free to download. Some features need in-app purchases: AI credit packs and auto-renewing subscriptions (weekly, monthly or yearly). Prices and terms are shown in the App before you buy.

• Payment. Apple handles payment through your Apple ID. We never see or store your card.
• What we receive. Purchase confirmations and your subscription status, so we can unlock features, add credits and restore purchases.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Cancel or manage. Go to Settings > your name > Subscriptions on your iPhone. Deleting the App, or asking us to delete your data, does not cancel a subscription.
• Refunds. Apple decides refunds for App Store purchases. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.

8. How long we keep information

• Your documents. Your cover letters, resumes and resume profile are stored on your device. We don’t keep a copy of your finished documents on our servers.
• Resume rendering. To produce a resume from a template, the App sends your profile (and photo, if you added one) to our template server, which returns the formatted document. Our server uses this data only to produce your resume and doesn’t keep it after the document is returned.
• AI provider. OpenAI may keep requests for up to 30 days to detect abuse, as described in Section 3.
• Everything else. We keep other information only as long as we need it for the purposes above, to meet legal, tax and accounting duties, and to resolve disputes. Then we delete or de-identify it.

9. Your choices and rights

How to delete your data

• Email codebuster2021@gmail.com with the subject “Delete my data.”
• Tell us what you’d like deleted. We may ask for details to verify the request and find your records.
• We will complete the request within 30 days and confirm when it’s done.

Deleting the App removes the documents and profile it stores on your device. It doesn’t delete anything held on our servers or by our providers, and it doesn’t cancel subscriptions.

Other choices

• Tracking and ads: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
• Site cookies: your browser settings, or the opt-out add-on in Section 6.
• Access or correction: email us and we’ll help.

If you live in the United States

Depending on your state, you may have the right to know what we collect, get a copy, correct it, delete it, and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We don’t sell personal information for money. If the advertising described in Section 5 counts as “sharing” where you live, opt out through the iOS setting above or by emailing us with the subject “Do Not Share.” We won’t treat you differently for using these rights.

California residents may also ask for information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing (California Civil Code Section 1798.83). We do not make those disclosures without your agreement. Use the subject “California Privacy Policy Disclosure Information.”

If you live in the EEA, UK or Switzerland

You can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to our use of your personal information, ask for a portable copy, and withdraw consent at any time. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

We rely on these legal bases: performing our contract with you (providing the App, including AI features you request), your consent (personalized ads, tracking and notifications), our legitimate interests (security, analytics and improving the App), and legal obligations.

We and our providers, including Google and OpenAI, may process information in the United States and other countries whose data protection laws differ from yours. Where required, we use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

10. Children

The App and Site are not directed to children under 13, or under the higher minimum age in your country. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. The App Store age rating reflects the App’s content. It doesn’t mean the App is designed for children.

If you believe a child has given us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including encrypted connections and Firebase App Check on our AI servers. No system is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security. We aren’t responsible for how other people use information you choose to share with them.

12. Third-party links

The App and Site may link to other websites. This policy doesn’t cover them, and we aren’t responsible for their privacy practices.

13. Changes to this policy

We’ll update the date at the top when we make changes. For material changes, we’ll give notice in the App or on this page before they take effect, and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
