Privacy Policy

Effective date: 1 January 2026  ·  Last updated: 26 February 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how JOBVIAN (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our platform at jobvian.com. Please read it carefully.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed password. If you sign up via Google or LinkedIn OAuth, we receive your name and email from those providers.

CV & Document Data

You may upload CV documents (DOCX format) to the platform. These files are processed by our AI systems to extract skills, experience, and other professional data. Your original and optimised CV versions are stored securely in AWS S3.

Job Search Preferences

We collect job search parameters you configure, including job titles, locations, experience levels, and scheduling preferences. This data is used to run automated searches on your behalf.

Application Tracking Data

When you track job applications, we store information about the roles, companies, application status, and any notes you add.

Usage & Technical Data

We collect standard server logs including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This data helps us diagnose issues and improve the platform.

Billing Information

Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card details. We receive limited billing metadata (subscription tier, payment status) from Stripe.

2. How We Use Your Information

Service Delivery

Your CV and job search preferences are used to run job discovery searches, generate ATS-optimised CV versions, and power the application tracking dashboard.

AI Processing

CV content and job descriptions are sent to OpenAI's API (GPT-4) for analysis, keyword extraction, and content generation. This processing is governed by OpenAI's data processing agreements. We do not use your data to train third-party AI models.

Job Discovery

To surface relevant job listings, we use an automated job data service that retrieves publicly available job postings from LinkedIn based on your configured search parameters. This process runs on our behalf using the Apify platform, which scrapes publicly visible LinkedIn job listings. We do not access your personal LinkedIn account.

Account & Security

We use your email for authentication, password resets, and service-critical notifications. We do not send marketing emails without your explicit consent.

Analytics & Improvement

Aggregated, anonymised usage data helps us understand how the product is used and where we can improve it.

3. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We Do Not Sell Your Data

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

Service Providers

We share data with trusted third-party service providers strictly to operate the platform:

• OpenAI

CV content and job descriptions are sent to OpenAI's API for AI-powered optimisation. Data is processed per OpenAI's API data usage policies.

• AWS (Amazon Web Services)

CV files are stored in AWS S3 buckets with encrypted access URLs. AWS processes data per their SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

• Stripe

All billing and payment processing is handled by Stripe. We share only what Stripe requires to manage your subscription.

• Apify

We use the Apify platform to run automated job discovery tasks that retrieve publicly available job listings from LinkedIn. Your personal login credentials are never shared with Apify.

• Upstash / Redis

Background job queues are managed using Redis (via Upstash). Temporary job task data may pass through these systems.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public.

4. Data Retention

Account Data

We retain your account data for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or billing purposes.

CV Files

Original and optimised CV files are retained in AWS S3 for the duration of your account. You may delete individual files from your dashboard at any time.

Billing Records

Transaction records may be retained for up to 7 years to comply with financial regulations.

5. Your Rights

Access & Portability

You may request a copy of your personal data at any time by contacting us at privacy@jobvian.com.

Correction

You can update your account information directly from your dashboard settings.

Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting privacy@jobvian.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

Objection & Restriction

If you believe we are processing your data unlawfully or wish to restrict processing for legitimate reasons, please contact us.

EU/UK Residents (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

6. Security

Technical Safeguards

All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. CV files in AWS S3 use server-side encryption. Authentication tokens are signed using industry-standard JWT with RS256.

Access Controls

Access to production systems is restricted to authorised personnel. Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes and are never stored in plaintext.

No Guarantee

While we implement industry-standard security practices, no system is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach affecting your information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

7. Cookies

Authentication

We use a single HTTP-only cookie to maintain your authenticated session (JWT token). This is strictly necessary for the service to function.

No Tracking Cookies

We do not use third-party tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or analytics cookies such as Google Analytics.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify you by email. Your continued use of JOBVIAN after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
