3.1 Legal Basis for Processing

For users located in the UK, EU, or regions with similar requirements, we process information based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

  • Performance of the services you request
  • Fulfillment of our contractual obligations to you
  • Compliance with applicable legal requirements

4. How Our AI Features Work

MakeMyResume uses artificial intelligence to power the following features:

  • Resume generation and drafting
  • Resume analysis and feedback
  • ATS scoring
  • Cover letter generation
  • Job matching
  • Skill recommendations

Information is processed by our AI systems only to deliver the feature requested — for example, generating a cover letter, or scoring a resume submitted for review.

Our AI does not make hiring decisions and does not guarantee interviews or job offers. It is designed to support your work, not replace your judgment. AI-generated content should be reviewed before use, and you remain responsible for the accuracy of any resume, cover letter, or application material you submit to employers.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers for profiling purposes.

Information may be shared only in the following circumstances:

  • Cloud infrastructure providers: to host the platform and store data securely

  • Analytics providers: to understand usage and identify improvements
  • Payment providers: to process subscription payments securely
  • Legal authorities: where required by law, court order, or legal process

6. Data Security

We apply industry-standard measures to protect information, including:

  • Encryption in transit (HTTPS)
  • Secure password hashing
  • Secure cloud infrastructure
  • Authentication controls
  • Role-based access controls
  • Logging and monitoring
  • Regular backups, where applicable

No system is entirely secure. We work to protect your information on an ongoing basis and will notify affected users as required by applicable law in the event of a security incident.

7. Data Retention

Information is retained only as long as necessary to:

  • Provide the Service
  • Meet legal and regulatory obligations
  • Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
  • Improve the quality and reliability of our features

Accounts can be deleted directly from Account Settings at any time, or by contacting us at the email address above.
