Privacy Policy

The short version

ResumeSlash doesn't have a server that your resume, job descriptions, or tracked applications pass through. The Checker, Builder, and Tracker all run entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your files and text are read, parsed, and scored on your own device, and are never transmitted anywhere. We don't have a database of resumes because there's nothing sending resumes to us to store.

What happens to a resume you upload or type

When you upload a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file to the Checker, it's read and parsed locally using in-browser libraries. When you type into the Builder, that data is held in your browser's memory for that session. Neither ever leaves your device as part of using the core tools — there is no upload step, because there is no server endpoint for a resume to be uploaded to.

What is stored, and where

The Job Application Tracker is the one feature that persists data between visits, and it does so using your browser's localStorage — a storage mechanism built into your browser, not a database we operate. That data stays on your device, tied to that specific browser. We have no access to it, no copy of it, and no way to see it. Clearing your browser's site data for ResumeSlash will delete it permanently, which is also why the Tracker includes an Export/Import feature — it's the only way to back it up or move it to another device, since there's no account to sync it through.

The Checker and Builder don't persist anything between visits — refreshing the page clears whatever you'd typed or uploaded, by design, since nothing is being saved anywhere for you.

Accounts and signups

There aren't any. ResumeSlash doesn't ask for an email address, doesn't have a login, and doesn't build a profile of you. There's nothing to delete when you're done, because nothing was created in the first place.

Analytics and tracking

As of this writing, ResumeSlash does not run any analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts. If that ever changes — for example, adding privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to understand which tools people use — this page will be updated first, and it will not involve reading the contents of your resume or tracked applications.

Third parties

Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which may see your browser's request for font files (this is standard for most websites that use hosted web fonts). No resume content, job descriptions, or tracker data is sent as part of that request. Aside from font loading, ResumeSlash does not share data with any third party, because it does not collect any to share.

Children's privacy

ResumeSlash is a general-audience tool intended for people preparing job applications and isn't directed at children. Since we don't collect personal data from anyone who uses the site, there's no age-gating mechanism in place.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes — most likely because a new feature changes what's stored or where — the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change accordingly.
