Privacy policy
This policy explains what information End Software ("we", "us") collects when you use endsoftware.net and Smart CV (smartcv.endsoftware.net), how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Account details. When you create a Smart CV account we store your email address and a securely hashed password. We never see or store your password in plain text.
- Content you add. The CV profiles, lines, tags, templates and settings you create in Smart CV, and any job descriptions you paste in to tailor your CV.
- Files you import or export. CV files you import are read to extract their text and are not kept. PDFs you export are generated on our server, held for a few minutes while you download them, and then discarded.
- Technical information. Like most websites, our servers and hosting providers record technical details such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. We use these to keep the service secure, limit abuse and fix problems.
How we use your information
- To provide Smart CV: signing you in, saving your CVs and producing your PDFs.
- To send account emails, such as confirming your email address or resetting your password.
- To keep the service secure and reliable, and to understand and fix problems.
- To show advertising that keeps Smart CV free (see below).
Your CV content is private to your account. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your CV content with advertisers.
Advertising and cookies
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our sites and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
- Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads or advertising cookies are used, and can change their choice at any time.
Smart CV also stores your sign-in session in your browser's local storage so you stay signed in. It is not used for tracking.
Service providers
We use trusted providers to run our services. They process data on our behalf only:
- Supabase: account sign-in and account emails.
- Neon: database hosting for your Smart CV content.
- Render: hosting for the Smart CV server and PDF generation.
- Vercel: hosting for our websites.
- Google AdSense: advertising.
These providers may store and process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. We choose providers that protect data with industry-standard security.
How long we keep information
We keep your account and Smart CV content until you delete it or ask us to delete your account. Profiles you delete in Smart CV are removed from our database. Server logs are kept for a limited time by our hosting providers.
Security
All connections use HTTPS. Every request to Smart CV is checked against your account, so your data can only be read or changed by you. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.
Your choices and rights
You can view, edit and delete your CV content in Smart CV at any time. You can also ask us to give you a copy of your information, correct it, or delete your account and all of its data by emailing us. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under local privacy laws, including the right to complain to your privacy regulator.
Children
Our services are not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page.
