Privacy Policy
Effective August 9, 2026
ResumeHQ is a resume scoring and rewriting service operated by an individual. This page describes exactly what the service collects, where your resume goes, and how to have it removed.
What we collect
- Account details. Your email address and a hashed form of your password. We never store your password itself.
- What you submit. The resume text and job postings you upload or paste, and the results generated from them.
- A device identifier. If you run a check without an account, we store an identifier for your browser so we can apply the free-check limit. It is not linked to a name or email address.
- Usage records. Which actions you ran and when, so we can enforce plan limits.
Where your resume is processed
Your resume is uploaded to our servers and scored there. It is not processed inside your browser. If you are not signed in, the check still creates an anonymous record tied to the device identifier described above.
For AI features — resume rewriting, cover letters, and deep analysis — the text of your resume and the job posting is sent to Anthropic (the Claude API) to generate the result. Anthropic is the only third party that receives your resume content. We do not sell your data, and we do not send it to advertisers or data brokers.
Payments
Subscriptions are processed by Stripe. Card numbers go directly to Stripe and never reach our servers. We store only the Stripe customer and subscription identifiers needed to keep your plan in sync.
How long we keep it
- A resume you explicitly save stays in your account until you delete it from Account.
- Account details and usage records are kept while the account exists.
- Anonymous check records are kept so the free-check limit continues to work.
Your choices
- Delete any saved resume yourself from the Account page.
- To delete your entire account, or to request a copy of your data, email support@getresumehq.com. There is no self-serve delete-account button yet; we handle these by hand.
- Cancel your subscription anytime from Account → Manage subscription.
Security
Passwords are hashed, sessions use signed tokens, and traffic is served over HTTPS. No service can promise perfect security; if you believe you have found a vulnerability, email support@getresumehq.com with "SECURITY" in the subject.
Children
The service is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects how your data is used, the effective date above will change. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the updated policy.
