What We Collect

When you use Career Gap, we collect the following:

• CV / Resume data — the PDF you upload or the text you paste. This is sent to our AI provider for analysis and is not permanently stored on our servers after processing.
• Account information — if you sign up, your email and password. Passwords are hashed and never stored in readable form. Even we cannot see your password.
• Analysis results — your match scores, skill gaps, and career advice are saved to your account so you can revisit them.
• IP address — used for rate limiting and guest trial tracking.
• Target location — the city or region you enter (or that we detect from your CV) to find relevant jobs.

We do not ask for or collect government IDs, financial records, or any other sensitive personal data. Please avoid including such information in your uploads.

How We Use It

Your data is used solely to power the service:

• Extracting your skills and experience from your CV.
• Searching live job postings that match your profile and location.
• Running AI-powered gap analysis between your CV and real job descriptions.
• Generating your career report and sending it to you when you request an email copy.

We use third-party services for AI analysis, job search, email delivery, and hosting. Your data is only shared with these providers as needed to deliver the service.

What We Don't Do

Your CV content is processed by our AI provider to generate your analysis only. It is not used to train AI models, sold to recruiters, or shared with any party beyond what is necessary to deliver the service.

Cookies

We use a session cookie to keep you logged in, and a signed cookie to track guest trial usage (up to 3 free analyses). We don't use analytics trackers, advertising pixels, or any third-party tracking scripts.

Data Retention & Your Rights

CV text is processed in memory during analysis and is not permanently stored after your report is generated. Saved analyses and account data are kept until you request deletion. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt and all connections use HTTPS.

You can:

• Export your data — download any analysis as a PDF directly from the app.
• Delete your data — request full account deletion by contacting us, and we'll remove your account along with all saved analyses.
• Access your data — all your saved analyses are visible in your account at any time.
• Opt out of emails — we only send report emails when you explicitly click "Send to Email." We do not send marketing emails.

Contact

If you have questions about this policy, want to request data deletion, or need to report a concern, please reach out via the email link in the footer. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
