Privacy Notice
CV UID provides candidate profile creation, controlled CV sharing and employer search services. This notice explains the personal data we process and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
Account data includes your name, email address, password hash, role, verification status, profile-completion status and consent records. Candidate profile data may include your date of birth, address, city, state, country, contact details, professional summary, skills, industry expertise, employment history, education, projects, languages, credentials, achievements, publications, patents, visibility choice and PIN hash. Employer data may include representative name, work email, job title, organisation name and website.
Service records include profile-completion reminder history, profile visits, employer access requests, approvals, revocations, PDF downloads, security events and abuse reports. We store a one-way hash of an IP address in limited anti-abuse and consent records instead of storing the address itself. We also retain aggregated daily website visit and page-view totals with a general source, medium and optional UTM campaign. These totals do not retain raw IP addresses, full referrer URLs or individual browsing histories.
Why we use it
We process this data to create and secure accounts, send limited account and profile-completion messages, publish or protect profiles according to candidate choices, provide employer search, manage access requests, produce CV PDFs, show candidates their activity history, prevent abuse, provide support and comply with applicable law.
Notifications and optional marketing emails
Your notification centre shows account updates, including CV access requests and decisions. We store these notifications and whether you have read them. You can choose to receive CV tips, feature news and promotional emails, usually once a week. Creating an account or reading an invitation does not subscribe you. We record your email preference and the time, source and version of an explicit subscription or withdrawal. Change your choice under Account and privacy → Email preferences, or use the unsubscribe link in a marketing email. Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop essential account, security or CV access messages.
Who can see candidate information
Public profiles can be viewed by anyone with the link and discovered by verified employers inside CV UID. Candidate profile pages are excluded from CV UID’s search-engine sitemaps and marked not to be indexed by public search engines. A PIN-locked profile shows the candidate’s name, city, professional headline, summary and skills as a limited preview; its complete CV requires the candidate’s PIN or approved employer access. Private profiles are visible only to their owners. Employers must not use profile information outside legitimate recruitment activity.
Service providers and retention
We may use hosting, database, email delivery, security and monitoring providers strictly to operate CV UID. Account and profile data is kept while the account remains active. Security, consent, access and moderation records may be retained for a limited period where necessary for legal compliance, dispute resolution and abuse prevention.
Your choices and rights
You can correct profile data, change visibility, change or remove a PIN, revoke employer access, download an account-data copy and delete your account from the account page. You may also request access, correction, erasure or grievance redressal by contacting us.
Children
CV UID is intended only for people aged 18 or older. Do not create an account if you are under 18.
Security and grievances
We use access controls, password hashing, signed links, rate limiting and audit records to protect the service. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Contact CV UID Grievance Officer at hello@cvuid.in for privacy requests or grievances. General privacy questions can be sent to hello@cvuid.in.
This operational privacy notice should be reviewed by qualified Indian counsel and updated with the legal entity’s registered name and address before public launch.
