Privacy disclosure

This page describes what happens to your resume and to information about your visit.

Your file

Your PDF is processed in memory for one request and is discarded when that request ends.
We do not store your file or the text in it. From its metadata we keep only the name of the program that made it so we can make some pretty graphs with inferences about which tools are most common and error frequencies per tool. Data!
The name of your file is checked in your browser and is not sent to the server.

The site sets no cookies and loads nothing from other companies.
If you use the light or dark button, your browser remembers that choice until you close the tab. The choice stays in your browser and is not sent to the server.
The hosting platform keeps a standard request log for 30 days. Each line holds your IP address, the name of your browser, the time, and the address that was requested.
That log never contains your file, its name, or anything in it. We do not store your file at all, so there is no resume on our side to connect to an IP address.
To limit abuse, the server also holds a scrambled form of your IP address in memory. It is never written to disk. It is forgotten after a minute for the per-minute limit, and at the end of the day (UTC) for the limit of 30 checks a day. The scrambling starts over each day, so one day's form can't be matched to the next day's.
Before each check, your browser spends a moment on a small calculation set by the server. This makes it expensive to flood the service with automated requests. Your browser sends only the answer.

We keep anonymous counts to improve the tool. Examples are which app made a PDF, which problems were found, and which fixes were chosen.
The counts contain no text from your resume, no IP address and nothing that identifies you.
We keep the counts apart from the request log and we do not match one against the other.
