Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

RCVASTIAN ("we", "our", or "us") operates the RCVASTIAN browser extension (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

We take your privacy seriously. RCVASTIAN is designed to minimize data collection while maximizing functionality. Your CV and personal information are your property, and we treat them with the utmost care and respect.

2. Information Collection and Use

2.1 CV Data

When you upload your CV to RCVASTIAN, the data remains on your device. We do not upload, store, or transmit your CV to external servers without your explicit consent. The extension analyzes your CV locally using advanced AI models to extract relevant information for auto-filling job applications.

2.2 Application Data

RCVASTIAN tracks the job applications you submit through the browser extension to provide you with a comprehensive dashboard of your applications. This data includes: job title, company name, application date, and status. This information is stored locally on your device.

2.3 Browser Activity

The extension monitors URLs you visit to detect job application portals. We identify the platform (e.g., LinkedIn, Indeed) to provide context-aware form filling. We do not record or store the full URLs you visit or any content from websites unless you explicitly request application tracking.

2.4 Usage Analytics (Optional)

With your consent, RCVASTIAN collects anonymous usage data to improve the Service. This may include: number of applications submitted, most common job types, and platform popularity. No personal information is included in these analytics. You can opt-out at any time in the extension settings.

2.5 Communication Data

If you contact us via email or support channels, we collect your email address and the content of your communication for the purpose of responding to your inquiry and improving our Service.

3. Data Storage and Security

3.1 Local Storage

By default, all personal data collected by RCVASTIAN is stored locally in your browser's encrypted storage. Your CV, application history, and preferences are never transmitted to our servers without your explicit authorization.

3.2 Encryption

We implement industry-standard encryption (AES-256) for any data stored by the extension. All data in transit uses HTTPS with TLS 1.3 or higher encryption protocols.

3.3 Data Deletion

You can delete any stored data at any time through the extension settings. When you uninstall the extension, all locally stored data is permanently removed from your device.

3.4 Security Measures

We implement comprehensive security measures including: regular security audits, secure coding practices, and vulnerability management. We do not use third-party tracking libraries or malicious code.

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 Job Portals

RCVASTIAN interacts with third-party job application websites (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.). We do not control these platforms' privacy practices. Please review their privacy policies independently. The extension only reads information you authorize it to auto-fill.

4.2 AI Models

RCVASTIAN uses local AI models to process your data. These models run on your device and do not transmit data to external servers. Some advanced features may optionally use cloud-based AI services (clearly marked), which process data according to their privacy policies.

4.3 No Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties. We do not use third-party advertising networks or tracking services.

5. User Rights and Choices

5.1 Access and Portability

You have the right to access, modify, and export all your data. The extension provides built-in tools to download your data in a portable format (JSON).

5.2 Deletion Rights

You can delete specific data entries or your entire profile at any time. Deletion is permanent and cannot be recovered.

5.3 Opt-Out Preferences

You can disable optional features such as usage analytics, application tracking, and auto-sync in the extension settings.

5.4 Cookie Management

RCVASTIAN does not use cookies or web tracking technologies. The extension uses browser storage APIs for functionality, which can be cleared through your browser settings.

6. Children's Privacy

RCVASTIAN is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information and terminate the child's account.

7. Data Breach Notification
