4. Privacy-First Approach

FineTunedCV.ai is intentionally designed to minimise tracking and unnecessary data collection.

At the time of writing:

  • we do not require user accounts
  • we do not run advertising trackers
  • we do not use behavioural advertising systems

  • we do not sell personal information
  • we do not profile users for advertising purposes

We believe CV and employment information should be treated with care and discretion.

5. Cookies

FineTunedCV.ai currently uses only limited operational or essential technologies required for the service to function.

We do not currently use advertising cookies or behavioural tracking cookies.

Where payments are enabled, Stripe or related payment providers may use essential cookies or similar technologies required to securely process payments and prevent fraud.

If analytics, advertising, or optional cookies are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy and any related cookie notices will be updated accordingly.

We do not use user-submitted CVs or job descriptions for advertising purposes.

7. AI Processing and OpenAI

FineTunedCV.ai uses OpenAI APIs to process and generate CV-related content.

When you use the service, relevant content may be securely transmitted to OpenAI for processing.

At the time of writing, OpenAI states that API data submitted through its business API services is not used to train its public models by default.

However, users acknowledge that AI-generated outputs may:

  • contain inaccuracies
  • misunderstand context
  • generate incomplete or imperfect suggestions
  • include industry terminology or phrasing users should independently review

Role fit analysis and application recommendations are AI-generated and intended only as informational guidance. These outputs may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or subjective interpretations and should not be treated as professional recruitment, hiring, or career advice.

Users remain fully responsible for reviewing and approving all generated content before use.

8. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR and applicable data protection law, we rely on:

  • contractual necessity
  • legitimate interests
  • legal obligations
  • user consent where applicable

Our legitimate interests include maintaining platform security, preventing abuse, processing payments, and improving service reliability.

9. Data Retention

FineTunedCV.ai aims to minimise long-term storage of personal data.

Uploaded CVs, generated documents, and related session information are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • generate outputs
  • provide downloads
  • maintain operational reliability
  • resolve disputes or technical issues
  • comply with legal obligations

We do not intentionally maintain long-term user profiles or persistent accounts.

Retention periods may change as the service evolves.

10. Payment Processing

Payments are processed through Stripe.

FineTunedCV.ai does not directly store full payment card information.

When payments are enabled, Stripe may collect and process:

  • payment details
  • billing information
  • fraud prevention information
  • technical payment metadata

Users should review Stripe’s own privacy documentation for additional information.

11. Download and Operational Logging

For operational, security, and dispute-resolution purposes, FineTunedCV.ai may log:

  • payment completion events
  • export generation events
  • download attempts
  • download timestamps
  • technical delivery status

This helps us:

  • diagnose technical failures
  • investigate support issues
  • confirm digital delivery
  • prevent abuse or fraud

12. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information.

We may share limited information with:

  • OpenAI
  • Stripe
  • hosting or infrastructure providers
  • service providers required to operate the platform
  • legal or regulatory authorities where required by law

We aim to use providers with appropriate security and privacy protections.

13. International Transfers

Your information may be processed outside the United Kingdom.

Where international transfers occur, we aim to use providers that implement appropriate safeguards and security protections.

14. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

Users should avoid uploading information they are unwilling to process through online AI tools.

15. Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights including:

  • access to your personal data
  • correction of inaccurate data
