Privacy Policy

Your privacy

How CVWiser collects, uses, and protects personal data under the GDPR and Belgian data protection law.

Last updated: May 22, 2026Cookie PolicyTerms of Service

This Privacy Policy describes how CVWiser processes personal data when you use our website and application. It is written for users in the European Economic Area and explains your rights under the GDPR.

Who we are (data controller)

CVWiser is operated from Belgium and acts as the data controller for personal data processed through cvwiser.com. For privacy requests, contact support@cvwiser.com.

Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data when you create an account, build a profile, generate CVs and cover letters, export documents, track applications, or contact support. It applies to visitors and registered users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and elsewhere, with additional rights for EEA residents under the GDPR.

Data we collect

Depending on how you use CVWiser, we may process:

  • Account data — email address, authentication identifiers, and account settings.
  • Profile & CV content — name, contact details, work history, education, skills, links, profile photo (if uploaded), and other information you enter.
  • Application documents — job descriptions you paste, generated CV and cover letter content, template choices, ATS analysis results, and export history.
  • Application tracking — company names, job titles, application status, notes, and follow-up dates.
  • Billing data — plan status, Stripe customer id, subscription period, generation credits, and payment-related metadata. We do not store full card numbers.
  • Technical & usage data — IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and analytics events (see our Cookie Policy).
  • Support communications — messages you send via contact forms or email.

How we use data

We use personal data to:

  • create and maintain your account and profile;
  • generate and store tailored CVs, cover letters, and related analysis;
  • enable exports, editing, and application tracking;
  • process subscriptions and one-time purchases;
  • send service emails (e.g. welcome, billing receipts, follow-up reminders if enabled);
  • respond to support requests;
  • monitor security, debug issues, and improve the product.

We do not sell your personal data or share it with third parties for their own marketing.

AI processing

To tailor documents, we send relevant profile fields and job descriptions to AI providers for processing. Outputs are stored in your account. Do not submit special category data (e.g. health, religion, trade union membership) unless you choose to include it in your CV content — you control what you enter.

Service providers (processors)

We use trusted providers who process data on our instructions under data processing agreements where required:

  • Supabase — authentication, database, and file storage.
  • Stripe — payment processing.
  • Google — Analytics (GA4) and AI document generation services.
  • Vercel — website hosting and delivery.
  • Email providers — transactional and reminder emails.

International transfers

Some providers may process data outside the EEA (for example in the United States). Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms, and provider commitments under their data protection terms.

Retention

We keep personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. If you delete your account or request erasure, we delete or anonymise data within a reasonable period, except where we must retain records for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or billing purposes (typically up to seven years for financial records where required by law).

Your GDPR rights

If you are in the EEA, you have the right to:

  • access your personal data;
  • rectify inaccurate data;
  • erase data ("right to be forgotten") in certain cases;
  • restrict or object to processing in certain cases;
  • data portability for data you provided, where applicable;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, email support@cvwiser.com. We respond within one month as required by GDPR, or inform you if an extension applies.

Security

We use authentication, access controls, encryption in transit (HTTPS), and industry-standard hosting practices. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please keep your login credentials confidential.

Cookies & analytics

We use essential cookies for login sessions and, with your consent where required, analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) to understand site usage. Details, legal bases, and how to opt out are in our Cookie Policy.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Where appropriate, we may notify you by email or in-app notice.

Contact & complaints

Privacy questions: support@cvwiser.com or our contact page.

EEA residents may lodge a complaint with their local supervisory authority. In Belgium, this is the Data Protection Authority (APD/GBA).
