Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through the CareerBoard landing site, product workspace, login and signup flows, support communications, and related features used to support the job-search workflows described by the service.

CareerBoard is currently operated by Ilia Rychagov as an individual operator based in Armenia. If you have privacy questions or want to exercise a data-related request, you can contact careerboard@leverton.dev.

Depending on how you use CareerBoard, the service may collect:

• account data, such as your name, email address, authentication provider details, country, timezone, and internal user identifiers;
• career and profile data, such as resumes, work history, education details, skills, salary expectations, preferred roles, job-search locations, application history, notes, and cover letters;
• uploaded files and workspace materials, such as PDF, DOCX, or TXT resumes, job descriptions, interview recordings, transcripts, and supporting documents;
• payment and balance data, such as wallet addresses, transaction hashes, payment amounts, token or network details, tier status, balance activity, processor references, and payment timestamps;
• usage and technical data, such as feature usage, request logs, error reports, IP address, browser and device details, approximate location, page views, referring URLs, cookie or analytics identifiers, and session-related metadata;
• AI processing data, such as prompts, generated outputs, tailored resumes, generated cover letters, interview reports, and vacancy evaluations;
• support and contact data, such as emails or messages you send to CareerBoard.

CareerBoard may collect information directly from you, automatically through your use of the service, and from third parties involved in account access or payment processing.

• Directly from you: when you create an account, upload files, enter profile data, use AI tools, add notes, or contact support.
• From authentication providers: if you sign in through services such as Google, LinkedIn, or GitHub, CareerBoard may receive basic account identity data needed to authenticate and maintain your account.
• From payment providers: if you make a payment, CareerBoard may receive transaction and settlement details from providers such as Lemon Squeezy or other supported processors.
• Automatically: when you use the site or workspace, CareerBoard may collect logs, device information, session information, cookie-related data, analytics events, and operational telemetry, including through tools such as the Google tag.

CareerBoard may use personal information to:

• create, authenticate, and maintain user accounts;
• provide job-search workflow features requested by the user;
• generate resumes, cover letters, summaries, reports, and other AI-assisted outputs;
• analyze interviews, evaluate vacancies, and organize applications and documents;
• process payments, maintain account balance, and apply tier or pricing logic;
• prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and misuse of the service;
• monitor reliability, investigate incidents, fix bugs, and improve product performance;
• respond to support requests and communicate transactional or service-related updates;
• comply with legal obligations and enforce the applicable terms and policies.

CareerBoard may also use aggregated or de-identified operational analytics to understand usage patterns and improve the product, provided that such analytics do not reasonably identify a specific person.

If GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar laws apply, CareerBoard may rely on the following legal bases depending on the context:

• performance of a contract, where processing is needed to provide the service you use;
• consent, where required for certain uploads, cookies, or optional communications;
• legitimate interests, such as service security, fraud prevention, reliability, support, and basic operational analytics;
• compliance with legal obligations, including accounting, tax, and compliance duties.

Some CareerBoard features rely on third-party AI or automation providers. To generate outputs such as resumes, cover letters, interview reports, or vacancy evaluations, CareerBoard may send prompts, source materials, and related context to those providers as needed to complete the requested task.

CareerBoard may use providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic for this processing. CareerBoard expects to use API services under provider terms and configurations that are not intended to use submitted customer content to train general public models, but you should still avoid uploading information you do not have the right to disclose.

AI-generated output may be inaccurate or incomplete. Privacy protection does not change your responsibility to review generated content before relying on it or sharing it with employers or third parties.

CareerBoard may share information with service providers only to the extent reasonably necessary to operate, secure, support, and improve the service.

These providers may include, for example:

• AI providers, such as OpenAI and Anthropic;
• hosting, storage, database, and infrastructure providers, such as Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, BunnyCDN, AWS, or Google Cloud;
• payment processors and settlement providers, such as Lemon Squeezy, Stripe, or crypto-related providers;
• email delivery providers, such as Mailgun;
• analytics, logging, and error-monitoring providers, such as Google Analytics, Sentry, or Grafana;
• authentication, browser platform, or related technical providers used by the product.

CareerBoard does not sell your personal data. It also does not describe using personal data for third-party advertising sales or data-broker activities in this policy.

CareerBoard may use essential cookies or similar storage technologies needed to keep the site and workspace functioning, including authentication, session continuity, security, and basic user preferences.

CareerBoard also currently uses the Google tag and Google Analytics for website measurement and traffic analysis. Depending on browser behavior and configuration, these tools may use first-party cookies or similar technologies to distinguish users and sessions and to collect information such as page URLs, referring URLs, approximate geolocation derived from IP address, browser and device information, and interactions with the site.

CareerBoard does not currently describe enabling Google Ads remarketing or ad personalization features through this site. If additional advertising, preference, or non-essential tracking tools are introduced later, this policy may be updated and any required consent flow may be added or revised at that time.

CareerBoard uses Google Analytics through the Google tag (gtag.js) to understand aggregate website usage, measure traffic sources, review page performance, and improve the landing site and related flows. When a page with the Google tag loads, your browser may automatically send information to Google, which can include the page URL, IP address, browser details, and information about your interaction with the site.

CareerBoard does not intend to send directly identifying information such as your name, email address, or the content of workspace materials to Google Analytics through this site tag, and expects public page URLs and titles used for analytics to avoid that type of information.

Google may process information collected through the Google tag in accordance with Google's own policies. More information is available in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Google's Privacy Policy.

You can limit or control analytics-related cookies through your browser settings. Google also provides a Google Analytics browser add-on for users who do not want Google Analytics to be used in their browser. Where required by applicable law, CareerBoard may also rely on a consent mechanism for analytics cookies or similar technologies.

Because CareerBoard uses third-party providers, personal information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States and other jurisdictions where service providers operate.

Where applicable, CareerBoard will rely on contractual safeguards, provider commitments, or other lawful transfer mechanisms that are reasonably available for the services used.

CareerBoard keeps personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain account history, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and support security and product operations.

Current retention expectations may include the following:

• account records may be kept while the account remains active;
• payment and transaction records may be kept as long as required for legal, tax, or accounting reasons;
• interview audio recordings may be deleted automatically after analysis is completed;
• transcripts, reports, and other generated workspace materials may remain until deleted by the user or removed through account cleanup;
• application logs and technical logs may be retained for up to 180 days;
• website analytics data may be retained according to the configured retention settings of the relevant analytics provider and CareerBoard's operational needs;
• backups may persist for up to 360 days before cycling out of retention systems;
• uploaded files may remain until deleted by the user, removed with account deletion, or cleared through retention cleanup after extended inactivity, which may in some cases be around 180 days.

In some cases, advance notice before deletion or cleanup may not be provided, especially where automated retention rules, abuse prevention, legal requirements, or technical limits apply.

Depending on the product feature and applicable law, you may be able to access, update, export, correct, or delete certain information associated with your account or workspace.

CareerBoard may support deletion of or requests relating to items such as resumes, cover letters, interview preparation materials, interview summaries, notes, vacancy records, calendar-related items, and the account itself. You may also request correction, deletion, or export of personal data by contacting careerboard@leverton.dev.

If GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar laws apply, your rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, withdrawal of consent where consent is the basis, and the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

CareerBoard may retain certain data despite a deletion request where retention is necessary for legal compliance, payment reconciliation, fraud prevention, dispute handling, backup integrity, or enforcement of applicable terms.

CareerBoard may use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, which may include encryption in transit, access controls, limited administrative access, monitoring, logging, and backup procedures.

No internet-connected service or storage system can guarantee absolute security. You should also take reasonable steps to protect your account credentials and the devices you use to access the service.

CareerBoard is not intended for children under 18, and it is not knowingly offered to or designed for minors. If CareerBoard becomes aware that personal information from a child has been collected without appropriate authorization, it may take steps to delete that information.

CareerBoard may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the product, infrastructure, provider relationships, legal requirements, or business operations. The updated version becomes effective when posted on this page unless a different effective date is stated.

CareerBoard does not promise separate notice for every policy update. Your continued use of the service after an updated version is posted means you accept the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.
