Information We Collect
CV Builder Data
When you use our CV builder, the data you enter (name, email, work history, skills) is processed entirely in your browser. We do not store your CV content on our servers unless you explicitly create an account and save your CV.
Usage Analytics
We collect anonymous usage data including pages visited, features used, and general geographic region (country-level only). This helps us improve the product. We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled.
Account Information
If you create a Pro account, we collect your email address and payment details. Payment is processed by Stripe — we never store card numbers directly.
Cookies
We use essential cookies for site functionality, and optional analytics cookies. You can decline non-essential cookies through our cookie banner.
How We Use Your Data
Service Delivery
To provide the CV builder tool, save your progress (if you have an account), and deliver PDF downloads.
Product Improvement
Anonymous analytics data helps us understand which features are most used, where users encounter problems, and how to improve the experience.
Communications
If you opt in, we send product updates and tips by email. You can unsubscribe from any email with one click. We never send unsolicited marketing.
Security & Fraud Prevention
To protect our platform from abuse and ensure the security of all users.
Data Sharing & Third Parties
We Do Not Sell Your Data
BuildCVFast does not and will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Service Providers
We share data only with essential service providers: Vercel (hosting), Google Analytics (anonymous analytics), and Stripe (payment processing). All are bound by strict data processing agreements.
Legal Requirements

Data Security
Technical Measures
All data is transmitted over HTTPS (TLS 1.3). Our servers are hosted on Vercel with enterprise-grade security, automated threat detection, and regular security updates.
CV Data Processing
CV content you enter in the free builder is processed entirely client-side in your browser. It is not transmitted to or stored on our servers, giving you full control of your personal data.
