Information We Collect

Most of this website does not require registration. We collect minimal, anonymized data to understand how visitors use the site and to improve performance.

Some features of the CV Editor require authentication via Google Sign-In. When you sign in, we collect and store:

  • Your email address (from your Google account)

  • A unique user identifier

  • CV customizations you create (version names, job context)

This data is stored securely in Supabase (our database provider) and is used solely to provide you with the CV customization feature. We do not share this information with third parties or use it for marketing purposes.

Analytics Data (Vercel Analytics)

We use Vercel Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service that collects:

  • Page views and navigation patterns

  • Referring websites

  • General geographic location (country/region level)

  • Device type and browser information

Important: Vercel Analytics is designed to be privacy-friendly and does not use cookies for tracking. It does not collect personal information such as IP addresses, and data is anonymized.

We use Vercel Speed Insights to monitor website performance. This collects anonymized metrics about page load times and user experience, helping us optimize the website. No personal data is collected.
