This Privacy Policy explains how Free Resume Builder ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit freeresumebuilder.pro (the "Site"). We are committed to being transparent about what data we collect and how we use it. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Enter Into the Resume Builder
Any information you enter into the resume builder — including your name, contact details, work experience, education, skills, and any other content you type or upload — is stored only in your browser's local storage on your device. This data is never transmitted to our servers, never stored in a database, and never accessible to us or any third party. When you clear your browser data or use a private browsing window, this information is deleted.
You can export your resume data as a JSON file at any time using the "Save JSON" button, and re-import it later. This JSON file is stored locally on your device and is never uploaded to us.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we collect certain technical information automatically when you visit the Site. This includes:
- Usage data: pages visited, time spent on pages, referral source, and general interaction patterns.
- Technical data: approximate geographic location (country/city level, derived from IP address), browser type, device type, operating system, and screen resolution.
- Cookie and similar technologies data: anonymous identifiers stored on your device to distinguish unique visitors and measure aggregate traffic patterns.
This information is collected through Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, as described in Sections 4 and 5 below. It is used in aggregate and does not personally identify you.
1.3 Information You Provide Via Email
If you contact us at support@freeresumebuilder.pro, we will receive whatever information you include in your email (such as your name, email address, and the content of your message). We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and do not add you to any marketing list.
2. How We Use Information
We use the automatically collected information described in Section 1.2 for the following purposes:
- Understanding how visitors use the Site — which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and what paths they take through the Site.
- Improving the Site — identifying confusing pages, broken flows, and areas where users drop off, so we can make targeted improvements.
- Measuring the effectiveness of our content — understanding which resume guides are most read and shared, so we can prioritize similar content.
- Detecting and diagnosing technical issues — identifying errors, slow-loading pages, and compatibility problems across browsers and devices.
- Understanding aggregate audience demographics — approximate geographic distribution, device types, and language preferences, to ensure the Site serves a global audience.
We do not use collected information to:
- Build individual profiles of users.
- Sell or share data with advertisers.
- Send marketing or promotional emails.
- Track you across other websites for advertising purposes.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as those used by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity) to collect the usage data described in this policy. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us recognize unique visitors and measure how the Site is used.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that some parts of the Site may not function properly if you disable cookies.
Because we do not require accounts and do not store any personal data on our servers, disabling cookies does not affect your ability to use the resume builder itself — it only affects our ability to measure aggregate traffic patterns.
4. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), to understand how visitors interact with the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used before coming to the Site. Google uses this information to generate aggregate reports about Site traffic.
The specific data collected by Google Analytics includes:
- Anonymized or pseudonymized user identifiers (a randomly generated client ID stored in a cookie).
- Page URLs visited and the order of pages viewed.
- Approximate geographic location (country, region, city — derived from IP address).
- Device and browser information (browser type, operating system, screen resolution).
- Traffic source (how you arrived at the Site — direct, search, referral, etc.).
- Session duration and engagement metrics (time on page, scroll depth).
Google Analytics processes this data on Google's servers. Google may transfer this data to a third party where required to do so by law, or where such third party processes the data on Google's behalf. We do not have access to individual-level data that would allow us to identify you personally. You can review Google's Privacy Policy and learn more about how Google handles data at Google Analytics Help.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents your data from being sent to Google Analytics.
5. Microsoft Clarity
We use Microsoft Clarity, a free analytics service provided by Microsoft Corporation, to understand how users interact with the Site through heatmaps, session recordings, and user behavior analytics. Microsoft Clarity helps us identify usability issues and improve the Site experience.
The specific data collected by Microsoft Clarity includes:
- Anonymized session recordings showing how users navigate the Site (mouse movements, clicks, scrolls).
- Heatmaps showing where users click and how far they scroll on each page.
- Aggregate behavior metrics such as rage clicks, dead clicks, and quick-back behavior.
- Device and browser information.
- Approximate geographic location (country level).
Microsoft Clarity is configured to mask or redact personal information entered into forms, and session recordings are anonymized — Clarity does not associate recordings with individual identities. You can review Microsoft's Privacy Statement and learn more about Clarity's data handling at Microsoft Clarity Documentation.
6. Third-Party Services
In addition to Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, the Site may use the following third-party services:
- Google Fonts — used to load the Poppins font family. Google Fonts may collect usage data; see Google's Privacy Policy.
- Your hosting provider or CDN — if you access the Site through a CDN, that provider may log standard request data (IP address, request time, URL).
We do not share any data collected by the Site with advertising networks, data brokers, or social media platforms.
7. Data Retention
Because we do not maintain user accounts and do not store resume data on our servers, there is no user data to retain beyond what is described in this policy. The aggregate analytics data collected by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity is retained according to those services' respective retention policies, which are typically 14 months for Google Analytics and up to 24 months for Microsoft Clarity session data.
Information you send us via email is retained for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter to handle any follow-up. You can request deletion of your email correspondence at any time by contacting us.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding the personal data that third-party services collect about you when you visit the Site:
- Right of access: the right to request a copy of the personal data held about you.
- Right to rectification: the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure: the right to request deletion of your personal data.
- Right to object: the right to object to the processing of your personal data.
- Right to withdraw consent: the right to withdraw consent to processing at any time.
Because we do not collect or store personal data on our own servers, most of these rights are exercised through the third-party services themselves. For Google Analytics, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For Microsoft Clarity, you can review Microsoft's privacy controls at Microsoft Privacy Statement.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are a resident of California, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@freeresumebuilder.pro.
9. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us (for example, via email), please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information. Students aged 13 and older are welcome to use the resume builder for school, college, and internship applications.
10. International Users
The Site is accessible globally. If you access the Site from outside the country where our infrastructure is hosted, your data may be transferred to and processed in a country with different data protection laws. By using the Site, you consent to such transfers. We rely on the standard contractual clauses and other lawful transfer mechanisms described in the privacy policies of Google and Microsoft for international data transfers.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the services we use, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle information.
If we make material changes to this policy that affect how your data is handled, we will provide a more prominent notice (such as a banner on the Site's homepage) for a reasonable period before the changes take effect.
