Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 14, 2026

1. Who we are

HireCurve is operated by Mbanwi Ventures LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("HireCurve", "we", "us" or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use hirecurve.net, the HireCurve web application and any related browser extension (the "Service"), how we use and share it, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Terms of Service.

2. Information we collect

Account information. When you sign up, our authentication provider, Clerk, collects your name, email address and sign-in details. If you sign in with a third-party account, we receive basic profile information from that provider.

Resume and profile content. When you upload or paste a resume, we extract its text and build a structured profile of your contact details, work history, education, skills and related details. We store the extracted text, the file name, the profile and its revision history. We do not keep the uploaded file itself after it has been processed.

Resumes can contain sensitive information, such as citizenship or immigration status, security clearance, veteran or disability status. We use whatever you include only to provide the Service you ask for, not to infer anything about you. Please include only what you want to use in your applications.

Job and application content. We store the job descriptions you provide, the instructions and preferences you set, the resumes, cover letters and interview preparation generated for you, your edits and version history, and your application tracker.

Beta reviews. If you join our beta and leave a review, we store it with your account and quote it publicly only if you allow it, with the name you choose and a note that you received 30 days of free Pro as a beta tester.

Billing information. Payments are processed by Stripe, which collects your payment details directly. We do not receive or store your full card number. We store your Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, your plan and its status, and a record of your credit pack purchases and credit balance.

Usage information. We record each tailoring run and the applications and credits it used, including its status, timing and the AI model that processed it, so that we can enforce plan limits, bill correctly and keep the Service reliable.

Technical and diagnostic information. Our hosting and infrastructure providers automatically log technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information and request times. When an error occurs, our error monitoring provider, Sentry, receives diagnostic information about it, linked to your account ID. Before these reports are sent, we filter them to remove fields that can contain resume content, job descriptions, generated documents, credentials and payment identifiers. When an error occurs inside the signed-in application, Sentry also receives a session replay: a reconstruction of the pages, clicks and navigation leading up to the error, with all on-page text (including what you type) masked and all images and media blocked. No replays are sent from our public pages.

Support chat. Our marketing pages offer a live chat provided by tawk.to. Nothing is loaded from tawk.to until you choose to open the chat. When you do, tawk.to collects technical data about your visit, such as your IP address, browser and the page you are on. If you start a chat, we receive your messages and any contact details you choose to share.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • provide the Service, including building your profile and generating tailored documents;
  • manage your account, subscription, credits and usage limits;
  • process payments, refunds and chargebacks;
  • respond to support requests and send you service and billing messages;
  • keep the Service secure, prevent fraud and abuse, and diagnose and fix problems; and
  • comply with our legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. We do not use your information to make decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.

4. AI processing

To build your profile and generate and check your documents, we send the relevant content, such as your resume (including an uploaded PDF), your profile, the job description and your instructions, to OpenAI through its API. OpenAI processes this content on our behalf to return the output to us.

We do not use your resumes, profiles, job descriptions or generated documents to train AI models. We do not use them to evaluate or improve the quality of the Service unless you explicitly opt in, as described below. Under OpenAI's API terms, OpenAI does not use data sent through its API to train its models by default, and we have not opted in to sharing it for training. OpenAI may retain API data for up to 30 days to provide the service and to monitor for abuse, unless the law requires it to keep data longer, as described in OpenAI's policies.

Quality evaluation (opt-in). In Settings, under Your data, you can choose to let us use your resumes and job posts to test the quality of what HireCurve writes. This is off unless you turn it on. If you do:

  • we periodically copy the resume text of your confirmed profiles and a sample of your job descriptions into a private test set;
  • before a copy is stored, we remove your name, email addresses, phone numbers, web and profile links and street addresses, and replace the names of your employers and schools with placeholders such as "Company A" and "University A". Job titles, dates, skills and results are kept, because they are what we test. Removal is automated, so a personal detail written in an unusual way could remain; the test set is restricted for that reason;
  • the test set is not linked to your account by name, email or account ID, is kept in restricted storage that only HireCurve's owner can access, and is used only to evaluate and improve the Service. When we run tests, its content is sent to OpenAI on the same terms as above;
  • it is never sold, never shared for advertising and never used to train third-party AI models; and
  • you can withdraw at any time by turning the setting off. Your data is left out of every later copy, and copies already taken are deleted the next time the test set is refreshed. Deleting your account has the same effect.

5. Service providers we share information with

We share personal information only with service providers that help us run the Service, only as needed for them to do so, and under terms that restrict how they may use it:

  • Vercel: hosting of the website and application.
  • Neon: database hosting for your account, profile and application data.
  • Clerk: sign-in, account management and session cookies.
  • OpenAI: AI processing of resumes, profiles, job descriptions and instructions.
  • Trigger.dev: running tailoring jobs and scheduled maintenance in the background.
  • Stripe: payments, subscriptions, refunds and the billing portal.
  • Resend: sending account emails, such as when a resume is ready or a payment fails.
  • Sentry: error monitoring and masked session replays.
  • tawk.to: live chat on our marketing pages.
  • PDF rendering: when you export a PDF, the document is sent to a PDF rendering service that we operate on a cloud hosting provider, which uses it only to produce the file.

We may also disclose information if required by law or legal process, to protect the rights, safety or property of our users, HireCurve or others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of all or part of our business, in which case the recipient will be bound by this policy or one at least as protective.

6. Cookies and browser storage

We use cookies that are strictly necessary for the Service, mainly Clerk's cookies to keep you signed in. If you open the tawk.to chat on our marketing pages, it sets its own cookies to recognize your browser and keep a conversation going. When you pay, you are taken to Stripe, which sets its own cookies for payment and fraud prevention. If you open someone's referral link, we set a first-party cookie holding only their referral code for up to 30 days, so that both of you can receive referral credits when you sign up; we record which account referred yours, and the referrer sees only counts, never your name or email. If you follow a beta invite link and choose to sign up, we set a first-party cookie holding only the invite code for up to 30 days, so your new account can join the beta. On your first visit we set a first-party cookie, for up to 60 days, holding the campaign tags in the link you followed, the referring site's domain (not the page) and the page you landed on, and store them with your account if you sign up, only to understand which channels bring signups; no third-party tracking is involved.

The application also saves some information in your browser's storage, such as your theme, unsaved cover letter edits and the status of tailoring runs in progress, so they are there when you return. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.

Because we do not sell or share personal information, there is nothing for a Global Privacy Control signal to opt you out of, but we treat it as a valid opt-out request where the law requires. There is no common standard for Do Not Track signals, so we do not respond to them.

7. Browser extension

If you install the HireCurve Job Clipper browser extension, it reads a web page only when you click the extension. It takes the text you have selected or, if nothing is selected, the main text of the page, and sends it with the page address, page title and company name to your HireCurve account. The extension itself stores nothing on your device. A clipped job description expires after one hour if you do not open it in HireCurve, and expired clips are deleted from our database by routine daily maintenance.

8. How long we keep information

  • We keep your account, profiles and applications for as long as your account is open.
  • When you delete a profile, it and its revision history are deleted immediately. Resumes already written from it stay in your applications.
  • When you delete an application, it is removed from your account immediately and permanently deleted from our database 30 days later.
  • When you delete your account, your account, profiles, applications, documents, usage records and settings are deleted from our database, your sign-in is removed from Clerk and any subscription is canceled.
  • Copies of deleted data may remain in database backups for up to 30 days before they are overwritten.
  • Stripe keeps payment records as required for tax, accounting and fraud prevention, under its own policies. Error reports and session replays are kept by Sentry for up to 90 days. Support chats are kept until they are no longer needed to help you, or until you ask us to delete them.
  • We may keep information longer where the law requires it or to resolve disputes.

9. Your choices and rights

You can view and edit your profiles and applications in the Service at any time. In your account settings you can download an export of the data in your account, turn quality evaluation on or off, and delete your account.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, and to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of it, to opt out of its sale, sharing or use for targeted advertising (we do none of these), and to appeal our decision on a request. We honor these requests from all users, wherever they live. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

To make a request, email us at support@hirecurve.net from the email address on your account. We may need to verify your identity before acting on it. We will respond within 45 days; if we need more time, we will tell you why, and we may extend this by up to another 45 days where the law allows. An authorized agent may make a request for you where the law allows, with your signed permission, and we may ask you to confirm your identity directly. If we decline your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision with the word "Appeal"; we will respond to an appeal within 60 days. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, you may contact your state attorney general.

10. California residents

In the past 12 months we have collected these categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name, email address, IP address and account IDs); professional, employment and education information from your resume and profile; commercial information (plan, purchases and credits); internet or other electronic network activity (such as usage records, diagnostic data and masked session replays); and, only if you include it in your resume, sensitive personal information such as citizenship or immigration status. We collect it from you, from your use of the Service and from the sign-in provider you choose. We use it for the purposes in section 3, disclose it for those business purposes only to the service providers in section 5, and keep it for the periods in section 8. We do not sell or share personal information, including that of consumers under 16, and we use sensitive personal information only to provide the Service you request.

11. European Economic Area and United Kingdom

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your information to perform our contract with you, on the basis of our legitimate interests in securing and improving the Service, to comply with legal obligations, and with your consent where we ask for it. You also have the rights to object to or restrict certain processing and to withdraw consent, and you may complain to your local data protection authority.

12. Security

We protect your information with measures such as encryption in transit, access controls and limited access by personnel. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you as the law requires.

13. International users

We are based in the United States, and our service providers process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. If you use the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

14. Children

The Service is not directed to children, and no one under 16 may use it. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe someone under 16 has given us personal information, contact us at support@hirecurve.net and we will delete it.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. If a change is material, we will notify you by email or in the Service before it takes effect. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
