Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-11-09. This policy covers the LinkedIn Resume Consistency Checker at this site.
What we collect
We collect anonymous usage data to improve this tool. Specifically:
- Never collected: your resume text, LinkedIn text, file names, file paths, or full URLs. Documents are parsed locally in your browser; the text is sent once to compute a comparison and is never written to our telemetry or stored afterward.
- Interaction metadata: event names and counts, text-length buckets (e.g. “2k–8k characters”), PDF page-count buckets, processing time in milliseconds, result-render timestamps, dwell seconds, and run counts.
- Comparison categories: field category (title / dates / employer / location / skill), severity (P0–P3 / info), and suggestion type. Conflict value pairs are only reported after server-side normalization and only once the same pair has been observed at least 10 times on this site; below that threshold we record category counts only.
- Feedback you give: correction reason tags from a fixed list (no free text), confirmation / ignore / missed-issue actions, and per-item correction attempt counts.
- Context: a salted, per-site session identifier (not linkable across sites), page path, device type (desktop / mobile / tablet), and referrer host only.
- Device fingerprint for rate limiting: to prevent abuse, a device-based fingerprint is used solely for quota enforcement. It contains no business data from your documents.
If you decline the consent banner, only anonymous aggregate counts (event name + count) are sent — no session identifier, page path, device type, referrer, or feedback details.
How we use it
- Product improvement and industry insights based on anonymized aggregates.
- Model fine-tuning and rule-engine optimization — for example, learning that “company renamed” is a leading cause of LinkedIn/resume mismatches.
- Abuse prevention and rate limiting.
Retention
- Raw events: 90 days.
- Aggregated data: 24 months.
- Your local check history lives only in your browser's local storage (last 20 checks, counts only — never document text) and is never uploaded.
How to withdraw
You can withdraw at any time:
- Clear this site's data in your browser settings (this removes consent choice, local history, and session identifier).
- Or contact us at privacy@resumeconsist.com with the subject “Privacy withdrawal”.
After withdrawal, the checker remains fully usable; only aggregate event counts are sent.
