Data We Collect
| Type | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Account Info | Registration / Google Sign-In | Account creation, authentication, activation |
| CV Content | User input / imported file | AI processing, CV generation & improvement, ATS check, PDF/Word export |
| Technical Data | Automatic collection | Error diagnosis, performance, security monitoring |
| Payment & Subscription Data | Google Play Billing | Processing subscriptions (Pro Monthly $7/mo, Pro Yearly $70/yr) & verifying purchases |
Current Subscription Prices: SmartCV is free to use with a limited free plan. Paid plans are billed through Google Play — the only payment method supported by the app: Pro Monthly at $7/month and Pro Yearly at $70/year (USD). Prices may change in the future, but changes never affect an already-paid period.
Note: We never collect sensitive personal data such as national IDs, bank details, or biometric information. Credit card data is never handled by us — it is processed entirely by Google Play.
How We Use Your Data
- Process your CV text through AI models (OpenRouter) to generate professional, formatted content.
- Convert outputs to downloadable PDF/Word files and enable client-side preview on your device.
- Publish your personal portfolio site on GitHub Pages via our managed hosting account — it becomes publicly accessible via a unique URL.
- Manage your subscription, its validity period and auto-renewal status via Google Play Billing.
- Send essential service notifications: verification codes, password reset codes, policy updates.
- Track daily usage counts per account to enforce fair-use limits and prevent abuse.
Data Security Measures
- Passwords are hashed with BCrypt — never stored or transmitted in plain text.
- All data transmission encrypted via HTTPS/TLS.
- Server access restricted to authorized personnel only; backups are encrypted.
- CV content processed by AI is not retained on our servers after generation completes. Your CV text stays on your device and is not stored server-side.
Your Data Rights
You have the right to:
- Access a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request permanent deletion of your account and associated data ("Right to be Forgotten").
- Withdraw consent for data processing at any time (may limit service functionality).
- Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
Response Time: We commit to responding to all valid requests within 14 business days. For deletion requests, data removal is completed within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
Children's Privacy
Age Requirement: SmartCV is not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware of such collection, we will promptly delete the account and associated data.
Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided data to us should contact us immediately for account removal.
Contact & Data Deletion Requests
To exercise your rights, request data deletion, or ask questions about this policy:
Deletion request from the app (fastest): Open the SmartCV app → profile menu (top-right ⚙) → "Delete account" → confirm. Your browser then opens our account deletion page, where you send the request from the email registered in the app. We permanently delete your account and ALL of its data (subscription, payments, usage) within 30 days of the request and email you when it is done.
Deletion by email (alternative, for uninstallers): If you already uninstalled the app, email us from your registered address with the subject "Delete My Account" and we will permanently remove your account and associated data within 30 days. Deleting your account does not cancel an active Google Play subscription — cancel it in your Google Play subscriptions settings.
Please include your registered email address for faster verification. We aim to respond within 14 business days.
