Privacy Policy - Modern CV

Last update: April 12, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service (accessible via moderncv.eu and app.moderncv.eu). This policy is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR.

1. Data Controller

The controller of your personal data is Adam Bensari.
For data protection inquiries, please contact us at: modern.cv.polska@gmail.com

(Disclaimer: Modern CV is a product owned by Adam Bensari. References to "Modern CV", "us", "we", or "our" refer to the service provided by the owner.)

2. What Personal Data Do We Process?

To provide CV generation services, we process data that you voluntarily enter into the application forms. This may include:

• Identity data (name and surname),
• Contact details (phone number, email address, location),
• Professional experience and education history,
• Professional profile description ("About me"),
• Image (photo for the CV),
• Interests, skills, and project information,
• Links to social media profiles and other voluntarily provided information.

Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to perform the service (generate a CV file).

Important: With the exception of your name and email address, all data entered into the creator and generated CV files are permanently deleted from our databases immediately after you download the document. We retain your email address and name solely for the purpose of sending necessary operational messages (e.g., service confirmation).

Additionally, we use analytical tools (Google Analytics) that collect anonymous statistical data about website usage (e.g., visited subpages, time spent). This data is not used to directly identify the User.

3. Purposes of Data Processing

We process your data for the following purposes:

• Service Provision: Creating and generating a professional CV.
• Operational Communication: Sending notifications about service status (via Sender.net).
• Analytics and Improvement: Analyzing website traffic to optimize service performance (Google Analytics).
• Satisfaction Survey: Sending a request for feedback on the application (2 days after downloading the CV).
• Marketing: Only with your separate consent – sending commercial information.

4. Data Recipients

Your data may be shared with trusted external entities that support us in providing services:

• Vertex AI (Google Cloud): If you use the "Import CV" feature, the document is processed by Vertex AI to read the data. This takes place in a secure environment, and data is deleted immediately after processing (details in section 12).
• Google Analytics: Analytics service provider (anonymous data).
• Sender.net: Email service provider (we transfer name and email for communication purposes).

5. Data Retention Period

• CV Data: Stored only for the duration of the document creation session. Deleted immediately after the file is downloaded by the User.
• Name and Email: Stored until the termination of Modern CV service operations or until the User objects/requests deletion.
• Analytical Data: Stored according to Google settings (typically up to 26 months).

6. Your Rights (GDPR & UK GDPR)

In accordance with GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access your data,
• Rectify your data,
• Delete data ("right to be forgotten"),
• Restrict processing,
• Object to processing,
• Data portability,
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g., ICO in the UK or UODO in Poland).

To exercise your rights, contact us at: modern.cv.polska@gmail.com

7. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures (including SSL encryption) to protect your data against unauthorized access. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

8. Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

9. Children's Privacy

Modern CV services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16.

10. Contact

If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us via email: modern.cv.polska@gmail.com

11. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Editing Functions

To support the process of creating and editing CV content, we use language models from Google (Gemini AI). In the context of editing functions (excluding the "Import CV" feature described in section 12), AI does not process your identifying data (name, email). Only general descriptions of positions, education, or "About me" sections are transmitted to improve their quality or suggest skills.
