ResumeDesk is built so that your resume stays yours. This page explains, in plain language, what happens to your data when you use it.

Where your resume lives

The resume you are working on — including any photo you add — lives in your own browser (local storage on your device). While you are signed in, your resumes are also saved to your account on our servers so they can follow you to another browser or device. You can delete any of them from your resumes page, and deleting your account removes them all. If you never sign in, nothing is stored on our servers and clearing your browser data removes your resume entirely.

Accounts

You can build a resume without an account. Editing it, scoring it, and downloading the PDF require a free account. When you sign up with email we store your email address, the name you optionally provide, and a securely hashed version of your password (never the password itself). When you sign in with Google or Apple we store the identifier and email address they share with us, and nothing else from those accounts. While you are signed in, your resumes are saved to your account so you can continue on another device. To delete your account and the resumes saved with it, send us a message through the contact page.

AI features

  • When you use an AI feature (generating, scoring, improving, tailoring, or the assistant), the text of your resume — and, where relevant, a job description you paste — is sent to our AI provider to produce the result, then returned to your browser.
  • Your photo is never sent to the AI. It is stripped from every AI request.
  • The short text prompts you type (the description on the landing page, instructions to the editor assistant, and import notes) are kept in a private log so we can improve the product. Your resume content itself is not stored on our servers after the response is returned.

Uploaded files

When you upload a CV (PDF, DOCX, or TXT), it is parsed to extract its text and photo and build your editable resume. A copy of the uploaded file is kept on the server so we can review import quality and improve the product; only the most recent uploads are retained, and older ones are deleted automatically.

PDF export

When you download your resume as a PDF, it is rendered on our server for the duration of the request and returned to you. The rendered document is not retained.

Cookies and tracking

ResumeDesk sets no advertising cookies and runs no third-party analytics or trackers. We keep our own first-party statistics: page visits (with an anonymous identifier, the referring page, and the ad campaign if you arrived through one), whether a visit led to a resume being created, and when a PDF was downloaded. These statistics never include the content of your resume.

Billing

Pro subscriptions are processed by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe and never touch our servers; we store only a reference to your Stripe customer record and the state of your subscription (plan, renewal date, cancellation). Stripe's own privacy policy covers how they handle payment data.

Contact messages

If you send us a message through the contact page, we store what you wrote (and the name you optionally provide) so we can read and act on it. Don't include sensitive personal information in a message.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated. Meaningful changes will be visible here before they take effect.
