Introduction
Welcome to CV Builder Pro ("the App"), developed and operated by Kartik Gupta ("we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our Android application available on the Google Play Store.
By downloading or using CV Builder Pro, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you disagree with any part of this policy, please uninstall the App and discontinue use.
If you have questions, please contact us at the address provided in Section 11.
Information we collect
We collect two categories of information:
| Category | What it includes | Where it is stored |
|---|---|---|
| CV content data | Full name, email, phone, address, job title, work history, education, skills, languages, certifications, projects, references, and profile photo — everything you enter into the CV form. | Locally on your device only. Never sent to our servers. |
| Anonymised usage data | App crashes, error logs, and anonymous usage statistics (e.g. which screens are visited, which features are used). | May be collected in anonymised form via Google's Firebase Crashlytics. |
We do not collect payment details, passwords, biometric data, precise GPS location, or any sensitive identifiers beyond what you voluntarily enter into your CV.
How we use your information
We use information solely for the following purposes:
- CV creation: To allow you to build, edit, preview, and export your CV as a PDF or Word (.docx) document.
- Draft saving: To save your CV data locally so you can resume editing across app sessions.
- App improvement: To fix bugs and improve performance using anonymised crash reports from Firebase.
- Customer support: To respond to support inquiries you send to us directly via email.
We do not use your data for advertising, user profiling, behavioural tracking, or any automated decision-making that affects you.
Data sharing and third parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party — ever. Limited data sharing occurs only in these specific circumstances:
- Google / Firebase: Anonymised crash and diagnostic data may be shared with Google as part of standard Android infrastructure. This data cannot personally identify you. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
- File sharing (your action): When you share an exported PDF or Word file via Android's share sheet, the file is passed to the app you select (e.g. Gmail, WhatsApp). We have no control over how that third-party app handles the file.
- Legal obligations: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, regulation, or valid legal process, or to protect our legal rights and interests.
Local storage and exported files
All CV data is stored using Android's DataStore and internal app storage — accessible only to the App on your device. Exported PDF and Word files are saved to your device's Documents/ folder, accessible to you and any file-browsing app on your device.
We strongly recommend protecting your device with a secure screen lock to prevent unauthorised access to your CV data and exported files.
When you uninstall the App, all locally stored CV draft data is automatically removed. Exported files you have saved to your Documents folder will remain until you delete them manually.
Permissions we request
All permissions are optional. You may deny any permission and continue using the core CV-building features of the App.
Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information:
- Your CV content never leaves your device through our App
- Exported files are saved only to your device's local storage
- We use Android's built-in security mechanisms (DataStore, FileProvider with scoped access) for all data handling
- The App does not require an account, login credentials, or an internet connection to function
- No advertising SDKs or tracking libraries are included in the App
No method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to keep your device software up to date and use a strong screen lock.
Children's privacy
CV Builder Pro is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The App is intended for individuals seeking employment or professional opportunities who are of working age.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used the App to submit personal information, please contact us at the address in Section 11. We will take prompt steps to remove any such information.
Your rights
Since your data is stored only on your own device, you have full and immediate control at all times:
- Access: All your CV data is visible and accessible within the App at any time.
- Edit: You can update, correct, or modify any field in your CV at any time.
- Delete: Use the "Delete CV" option within the App, or uninstall the App entirely to remove all stored data from your device.
- Export / Portability: Export your CV as a standard PDF or .docx file at any time, compatible with any device or platform.
- Withdraw consent: You may revoke any App permissions at any time via your device's Settings → Apps → CV Builder Pro → Permissions.
For any data handled by Google's services (e.g. crash reports), you may review and manage your settings at myaccount.google.com/privacy.

- For significant changes, request renewed consent where required by law
Your continued use of the App after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
