Data Retention Policy
This policy explains what Avowly keeps, why it is kept, and how deletion works.
Simple principle
Avowly keeps only the data needed to provide saved resumes, versions, exports, AI assistance, job targeting, account access, security, and reliable product operation.
Account data
Avowly keeps basic account information while your account is active so you can sign in, manage your resume workspace, and access saved product history.
Resume data
Master resumes, resume versions, edited sections, parsed resume data, and structured resume content are retained while your account is active so your work can be saved, restored, improved, targeted, and exported.
Uploaded files
When you upload a resume file, it is read once to extract your text and create structured resume data. The file itself is not kept. What is saved is the extracted content, which is part of your resume data above.
AI rewrite history
AI suggestions are processed to generate improved wording, ATS aware recommendations, and job targeting guidance. Accepted changes become part of your editable resume data. Suggestions you reject do not become part of your resume.
Target job history
Job descriptions, their keywords, match results and targeting history are kept while your account is active, so you can see which resume version was tailored for which role.
Interview Prep answers
Answers you type or speak in Interview Prep are saved as text in your practice sessions so you can review them. Spoken recordings are sent for transcription and are not kept.
Tracker and application material
Jobs you add to the tracker, and the cover letters and other application material you save, are kept until you delete them or delete your account.
Export history
A record of each download is kept to show its format, template, resume version and when it was made, so you can tell which file came from which version.
Usage and diagnostic logs
Technical logs and error reports are kept for a limited time to keep the service secure, stop abuse and fix problems.
Deleting your account
When you delete your account from Settings, Avowly removes your account together with your resume data, resume versions, export history, targeting history, tracker entries, saved application material and Interview Prep answers, unless something must be kept for legal, security or abuse prevention reasons.
User control
You can edit your resume data, delete resume versions, tracker entries and saved application material, and delete your account from Settings. The Data we store page lists what is connected to your account.
