Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

GlobalResumeHub ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at globalresumehub.com. We provide free country-specific resume and CV guides, downloadable templates, and an in-browser resume builder tool. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how we use that information, who we share it with, and what rights you have over it.

If you have questions about this policy or about how we handle your data, you can contact us at any time at support@globalresumehub.com.

2. The Resume Builder: Your Data Stays on Your Device

The most important privacy fact about GlobalResumeHub is this: everything you type into our resume builder stays entirely on your own device. We do not transmit your resume content to any server. We do not store it in any database. We cannot read, access, or recover anything you enter into the builder.

This is not simply a policy position. It is a technical reality. The builder is a client-side web application that runs inside your browser. When you enter your name, your work history, your contact details, or any other personal information, that data is processed locally by your browser and saved to your device's local storage so you can return and continue editing. It never leaves your computer or phone.

When you download a PDF or Word file, that file is generated by your browser and saved directly to your device. No copy is sent to our servers. We have no record that you downloaded anything, and we cannot access the file you created.

If you close your browser and later clear your browser's local storage or site data, your saved builder progress will be deleted. Because we never received it, we cannot recover it for you.

3. Information We Do Collect

Although we do not collect resume data, we do collect some information when you visit our website. This section explains what we collect and why.

3.1 Analytics Data

We use analytics tools to understand how people use GlobalResumeHub. This helps us identify which country guides are most visited, which pages have high exit rates, and whether the builder tool is working well. The data we collect for this purpose includes pages visited, approximate geographic location (country or region level only), the type of device and browser you are using, the website that referred you to us, and how long you spent on each page. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other information that would allow us to identify you as an individual from analytics data alone.

3.2 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser. We use two categories of cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the basic functioning of the site. These include the cookie that records your consent preferences. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies while still using the site.

Optional cookies include analytics cookies that help us understand site usage, and advertising cookies that allow our ad partners to deliver relevant advertisements. We only set optional cookies if you have consented through our cookie consent banner. If you decline optional cookies, none will be set. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or by adjusting your browser settings.

3.3 Advertising

GlobalResumeHub is funded by advertising. We work with third-party advertising networks to display advertisements on some pages. If you have consented to advertising cookies, our ad partners may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to show you advertisements that are relevant to your interests. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read. We do not control what data our ad partners collect, but we only work with partners who comply with applicable privacy regulations including GDPR where applicable.

3.4 Email Communications

If you contact us by email, we will retain your email address and the content of your message in order to respond to you and to follow up if necessary. We do not add you to any mailing list based on your contacting us. We do not use your email address for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Emails are stored securely and are accessible only to members of our team who need them to respond to your enquiry.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

• To understand how visitors use GlobalResumeHub and to improve the site's content and functionality
• To display advertising that helps fund the free service we provide
• To respond to emails and support requests that you send to us
• To detect and address technical problems, errors, and abuse of the service
• To comply with our legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We do not use your data to make automated decisions that have a significant effect on you.

5. Third-Party Services

GlobalResumeHub uses the following categories of third-party service providers, which may process some data about your visit:

• Web analytics providers who help us measure site traffic and user behaviour in aggregate
• Advertising networks who display ads on our site and may use cookies to personalise those ads if you have consented
• Content delivery networks (CDNs) that serve our website files quickly to users around the world
• Email service providers that route and store emails sent to us through our contact address

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy and data processing terms. We have selected providers who represent industry standards for data security and privacy compliance.

6. International Data Transfers

GlobalResumeHub is used by people around the world. Our service providers may be located in countries other than your own, including countries outside the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection law.

7. Data Retention

We retain analytics data in aggregated, anonymised form for as long as it is useful for understanding how our site performs. Individual session data is typically retained only as long as the analytics platform retains it according to its own policies.

Emails you send to us are retained for as long as the conversation is active and for a reasonable period afterward in case you follow up. We do not retain email communications indefinitely.

As noted above, we do not retain any resume or CV data because we never receive it. Your builder progress lives in your browser's local storage until you delete it.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data under laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, the UK Data Protection Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or other applicable legislation. These rights may include:

• The right to know what personal data we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate data
• The right to request deletion of your personal data
• The right to object to or restrict certain processing
• The right to data portability
• The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

Because we do not store resume data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side when it comes to your builder content. For any other data rights requests, please contact us at support@globalresumehub.com and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

GlobalResumeHub is not directed at children under the age of 13, or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

10. Security

We take the security of the information we do hold seriously. Our website is served over HTTPS. We use reputable service providers who maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, in the services we use, or in applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of GlobalResumeHub after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
