Plain-English summary: essential cookies keep the site secure and remember your preferences. Google AdSense is only loaded on selected public content pages after you consent. We do not intend to serve ads inside dashboard, admin, sign-in, sign-up, or account recovery flows.
1. Overview
SmartCVjob is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, and how advertising technologies such as Google AdSense are handled on our public pages.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide directly
Depending on how you use the service, we may collect information you choose to submit, including your name, email address, account details, resume content, job application data, portfolio or profile information, contact messages, and payment-related details processed by third-party payment providers.
2.2 Technical and usage information
We automatically receive limited technical information when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser and device information, preferred language, pages viewed, and timestamps needed for security, stability, and product operations.
To understand the public signup funnel, we also count limited aggregate events such as a public page view, completion or sharing of the free job-match check, and completion of signup. These growth events store the page path and optional campaign or referring host. They do not store resume text, job-description text, email addresses, IP addresses, user-agent strings, or a persistent visitor identifier.
2.3 Consent and advertising data
If you consent to advertising cookies, Google AdSense and related partners may collect or receive information such as cookie identifiers, web beacon data, approximate location, browser or device identifiers, IP address, and ad interaction information for ad delivery, frequency capping, measurement, and fraud prevention.
3. How We Use Information
We use collected information to operate, secure, and improve the service. This includes:
- Creating and managing your account
- Providing resume, job-search, AI, and career tools
- Processing transactions and subscription activity
- Responding to support requests and service communications
- Preventing abuse, fraud, and technical incidents
- Serving and measuring ads on eligible public pages when you consent
4. Google AdSense and Advertising Technologies
We may use Google AdSense to display ads on selected public content pages such as our home, features, pricing, FAQ, about, and contact pages. We do not intend to serve Google ads inside dashboard, admin, sign-in, sign-up, or account recovery screens.
- Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information.
- Those technologies may process IP address, browser and device details, identifiers, approximate location, and ad engagement signals.
- Third parties may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to collect information during ad serving.
- You can learn more here: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
5. Cookies and Consent Controls
We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions such as authentication, security, and language preferences. Advertising cookies are optional. Where consent is required, we do not activate Google AdSense on eligible public pages until you make a choice in our cookie prompt.
You can revisit your choice at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the footer and by adjusting your browser settings. If you decline non-essential cookies, the site remains usable, but advertising features stay disabled.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information only in limited situations such as:
- With service providers who help us operate the service under confidentiality obligations
- With payment providers to process subscriptions and billing
- With advertising partners when you have consented to advertising cookies
- When required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security
7. Data Security and Retention
We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. No storage or transmission method is perfectly secure, but we work to reduce risk and limit access appropriately. We retain personal information only for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access, update, or correct your information
- Request deletion of personal data
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Request a copy of your data where applicable
- Withdraw consent for advertising cookies at any time
9. Children's Privacy
The service is not intended for children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided data to us, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect product, legal, or operational changes. When we do, we will post the updated version here and revise the last updated date.
