What happens to your CV

Your PDF is read, then deleted at once. Here is what happens to what we read from it.

The file

We never store your PDF. We read its text, then delete the file straight away.
To read it, we send that text to Groq, an AI service from a US company. It picks out your skills, roles and experience.

We keep only what matching needs from your latest CV: your skills, the roles you aim for, your level, years of experience, education level, location and the languages you speak.
Also the file name, the date we read it, and a fingerprint of the text so we know the same CV again.
We never keep the file or its text. We never keep your name, contact details, links or summary, or the companies, dates and schools on your CV.
Your years of experience are worked out from your job dates when we read the CV. Then the dates are dropped.
We also keep your latest scan results and the applications you track.
A new CV replaces the old one. We keep only the latest.

In your profile, under Your data, you can delete the skills we kept, or all your data at once.
Deleting your account removes everything.

The rest of how we handle data is on the privacy page.
