Your data is yours.
Always. No exceptions.

1. What data do we store?

CVontwerper stores your CV content in your browser's localStorage. This includes: name, contact details, work experience, education, skills, languages, chosen template and accent colour.

This data stays in your browser only. We don't store it on our servers or in a database. Only when you use an AI feature or upload an existing CV is the related text sent temporarily, as described under section 5.

2. What do we do with your data?

We use your data for three things: showing your CV in the browser, generating a PDF and, at your request, having text processed by an AI feature or when reading an uploaded CV. Nothing else.

We don't analyse what you write. We don't index your CV content. We don't process your data for marketing purposes.

3. Cookies and analytics

CVontwerper doesn't use personal tracking cookies. In the future we may track anonymous usage stats (e.g. number of visitors, most chosen templates), but never linked to your person or CV content.

If we ever deploy analytics tools, we'll mention this explicitly in this policy.

4. PDF generation

Your CV PDF is generated fully client-side, in your own browser, without involving a server. Your CV content is never sent to us for PDF processing.

5. AI features and processors

The AI writing help, the cover letter generator and reading an uploaded CV use an external AI provider. At the moment that is Groq (US). If you use one of these features, we send the related text through our server to that provider, for example your work experience, a pasted job posting or the text from your uploaded file. For an upload this only happens if reading it with our own rules doesn't work well enough.

• · We don't keep the text we send or the result in a database
• · What the provider does with the text is governed by their own terms and privacy policy
• · If you don't want this, fill in your CV manually and don't use the AI features
• · Leave out anything you don't want to share from the text you enter or upload

6. Your rights (GDPR)

As an EU resident you have the right to:

• · Access your data
• · Deletion of your data
• · Portability of your data
• · Object to processing

Data in your browser you can manage yourself via the browser settings. Of what was processed through an AI feature, we keep nothing. Questions about what the provider itself keeps can be put to us. Need help? Contact us.

7. Security

Although your data is stored in your own browser, we take security seriously. Our website uses HTTPS. We build with privacy by design as our principle.

8. Changes to this policy

If we change this privacy policy, we publish the new version on this page with an updated date. We actively notify you of significant changes.
