What we collect

  • Account information (name, email) via Clerk authentication

How we use your data

We use your data to provide career intelligence features: resume parsing, job fit analysis, tailored document generation, and application tracking. AI processing (Anthropic Claude) receives only the data needed for each feature. We do not sell your personal data.

AI processing

CV Blacksmith sends relevant profile and job text to AI providers to generate analyses and documents. Generated content is constrained by Truth Lock to verified facts you approve. You are responsible for reviewing AI output before submitting applications.

Storage & security

Data is stored in encrypted PostgreSQL databases. Resume files are stored in secure object storage. Access is limited to authenticated users for their own data.

Third-party services

  • Clerk — authentication
  • Stripe — payments and subscription management
  • Anthropic — AI processing
  • Vercel — hosting and infrastructure

Your rights

You may delete your account via Clerk, which removes your CV Blacksmith data. For data requests, contact support@cvblacksmith.com.
