How CV Maker handles your data

Resume data stays in your browser

Resumes, folders, drafts, and uploaded photos are stored locally using IndexedDB. There is no CV Maker account and no application backend that receives this information. Clearing site data can permanently remove it, so export important resumes as JSON backups.

The AI assistant is optional

AI features remain off until you choose a provider and supply your own API key. When you request a rewrite or generation, the relevant resume or cover-letter text and, when applicable, the job description are sent directly from your browser to that provider. The request does not pass through a CV Maker server. The provider's own privacy and data retention terms apply.

API key storage

The selected AI provider, model, and API key are stored in localStorage in the same browser. Treat an API key like a password: restrict its permissions where the provider supports that, review usage regularly, and remove or rotate it when it is no longer needed.

ATS checks, PDF export, and analytics

• The ATS keyword check runs locally and does not use an AI service.
• PDF output uses the browser's print engine; CV Maker does not generate it remotely.
• JSON import and export happen locally in the browser.
• The application contains no advertising, analytics, or telemetry integration.

Your controls

You can export individual resumes as JSON, delete resumes and folders from the dashboard, and delete all local application data from Document settings. Browser settings can also clear stored site data. Because there is no server copy, deleted local data cannot be recovered by CV Maker.
