Privacy policy

We keep only what we need to make your CV and let you download it, and we delete it when you no longer need it. This page explains how, in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

What we keep

• The details you type into your CV, such as your name, phone number, work history and references.
• Your email address, if you pay, so we can send you your download link.
• A record of your payment: the amount, date and status. Our payment partner handles your card details; we never see them.

We never ask for your ID number, date of birth, marital status, race, gender or a photo. A South African CV does not need them.

Uploaded CVs

If you upload an old CV, we read the text out of it and delete the file straight away. When you use “Write it professionally”, the text of your CV is sent to an AI service to suggest better wording; you choose what to keep.

How long we keep it

• A CV you did not pay for is deleted after 30 days.
• A paid CV is deleted 90 days after your 30 days of access end.
• You can delete your CV at any time with “Delete my CV” on the preview page or from the emailed link.

No account, no password

Your CV is linked to your device by a secure cookie, and after payment to a private link we email you. Anyone with that link can open your CV, so do not share it. Download links stop working after a short time.
