Privacy Policy

IndustryResume ("we," "us," "our") respects your privacy. This Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to our website and services that link to this Policy.

We don't intentionally collect sensitive personal data.

3) Legal bases (GDPR/UK GDPR)

We process personal data on the following bases:

• Consent (e.g., when you subscribe to emails or download resources).
• Legitimate interests (e.g., website analytics, improving services).
• Contract (providing requested resources/services).
• Legal obligation (where we're required to keep certain records).

You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing or contacting us.

4) Cookies & analytics

• Essential cookies run the site (security, load balancing, preferences).
• Analytics cookies help us understand how the site is used (e.g., Google Analytics/GA4).

You can control cookies through your browser settings and Google's opt-out tools. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

5) Who we share information with (processors)

We use trusted providers to operate our services. Typical vendors include:

• ConvertKit – email delivery and subscriber management
• Google Analytics (GA4) – usage analytics
• GitHub Pages – website hosting

We share only what's necessary for them to perform their services for us, under contracts that limit how they use your data. We don't sell or rent your personal data.

6) International transfers

Your data may be processed outside your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your information during cross-border transfers.

7) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above:

• Email subscribers: until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
• Support messages: for as long as needed to handle your request.
• Analytics data: kept for operational analysis and then aggregated or deleted.

We may retain limited information as required by law or to establish/defend legal claims.

8) Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards such as HTTPS encryption, access controls, and periodic reviews. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.

9) Your rights

If you're in the EU/UK (GDPR/UK GDPR):

You can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can also withdraw consent at any time (e.g., unsubscribe).

If you're in California (CCPA/CPRA):

You have the rights to know the categories of personal information we collect, access and delete your data, correct inaccuracies, and not be discriminated against for exercising your rights. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

To exercise any rights, email privacy@industryresume.com. We may ask for information to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

10) Children's privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child provided us information, contact us to delete it.

11) Changes to this Policy
