Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Avowly handles account data, resume data, uploaded files, AI supported workflows, exports, and the control you have over them.

Our privacy promise

Avowly is designed around user control. Your resume content stays editable, AI wording suggestions require your approval, and exports are generated from structured resume data rather than uncontrolled AI text.

Information we collect

Avowly collects the account details you sign up with and the content you add or create: your resume, the data read from your uploaded file, resume versions, target job details, cover letters and other application material, tracker entries, Interview Prep answers and export history. If you choose Continue with Google, Google shares your name and email address with us. Avowly also records basic usage information needed to run the service, such as your plan, how many times you have used a feature this month, and how you found us when you arrive from a campaign link.

How we use your data

Your data is used to help you build resumes, read uploaded files, improve wording, analyze ATS readiness, match resumes to job descriptions, find job postings that fit your resume, write cover letters, practice interviews, keep track of applications, generate exports, and maintain your account.

AI processing

When you import a resume, its text is sent to OpenAI to convert the file into structured fields such as roles, dates, education and skills. This happens on every import. OpenAI does not use this text to train its models and deletes it within 30 days. Separately, AI features that suggest improved wording or job targeting are never applied on their own. Those suggestions are shown to you and applied only when you accept them. You remain responsible for reviewing and approving final content. Because resumes are free-form text, they may occasionally include personal details beyond what a resume needs, such as health information or religious affiliation you choose to mention yourself; we do not ask for this and never use it for anything beyond generating your resume. This processing is governed by a signed Data Processing Addendum between Avowly and OpenAI, which contractually limits OpenAI to processing this data only to provide the service and prohibits using it to train OpenAI's models.

Other AI features and voice

Other AI features also use OpenAI. To write a cover letter, an Interview Prep question set or a reworded line, the text needed for that task, such as parts of your resume and any job description you add, is sent to OpenAI to produce the result. When you answer an Interview Prep question by speaking, the recording is sent to OpenAI to be turned into text. Avowly keeps the text of your answer, not the audio. Questions can also be read aloud, which uses OpenAI to produce the speech. For the Jobs page, the job titles in your resume are sent to OpenAI to work out the titles employers usually post such roles under. The free tools you can use without an account send what you paste to OpenAI in the same way, and Avowly does not save what you paste.

Other services we use

Avowly relies on a small number of service providers, and each receives only what its task needs. A job listings provider receives the job title and city we search for, never your name or contact details. An email provider receives your email address to send password resets and the job emails you turn on. If you add a photo to your resume, it is kept with a photo storage provider. Our servers and database are run by hosting providers. Avowly does not sell your data.

Where your data is stored

Your data is stored and processed mainly in Singapore and the United States, by Avowly and the providers described above, which may be outside the country you live in.

Data ownership

You own your resume content, uploaded files, edits, exports, and final application material. Avowly does not claim ownership over your resume or career information.

Data control

You can edit your resume, delete resume versions, tracker entries and saved application material, and delete your account from Settings. Deleting your account removes it together with your resumes, versions, exports, tracker entries, saved application material and Interview Prep answers.

Job emails

If you turn on job emails in Settings, we use your email address to send you a short email when new jobs fit your resume, at most one a day. The email lists job titles and companies that you can also see on the Jobs page. Job emails are off until you turn them on, and you can turn them off in Settings or with the link at the bottom of any email.

Data security

Avowly uses reasonable technical safeguards to protect user data, including authenticated access, ownership checks, upload limits, validation, and production safety controls.

Retention

Your resume and account data are kept while your account is active, so your versions, downloads and targeting history are there when you come back. When you delete your account, they are removed.

Age

Avowly is meant for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly keep accounts of anyone younger; if you believe one exists, email us and we will delete it.
