Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 24, 2026

Overview

CVack is a CV/resume builder that runs entirely in your browser. There is no backend server: CVack does not have a database, does not run analytics or tracking scripts, and does not collect, sell, or share your personal information with anyone.

This policy explains what information CVack handles, where it is stored, and how the optional Google Drive backup feature works.

Information you enter into CVack

When you use CVack, you may enter personal information to build your CV, such as your name, contact details, work history, education, skills, and an optional profile photo.

This information is entered directly by you and is never transmitted to any server operated by CVack. It exists only on your device, inside your browser.

Local storage (your browser only)

CVack automatically saves your CV data in your browser's localStorage, under the key orange-cv, so you don't lose your progress between visits. This data stays on your device and is only accessible to CVack running in that specific browser.

You can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data for CVack, or by using the "Export JSON" feature to save a copy before doing so.

Google Drive backup (optional)

CVack offers an optional "Back up with Google" / "Restore from Google" feature. If you choose to use it, CVack uses Google Identity Services to ask you to sign in and grant access to the drive.appdata scope, entirely from your browser — no CVack server is involved at any point.

  • Your CV data is saved as a single JSON file inside your own Google Drive's hidden "Application Data" folder, a space that only CVack can read or write to. It is not visible in your regular Google Drive.
  • This backup is only created, read, or updated when you actively click the backup or restore buttons — CVack never accesses your Google Drive in the background.
  • The OAuth access token Google issues is kept only in your browser's sessionStorage for the current tab, and is cleared automatically when you close the tab.
  • CVack does not have, and cannot obtain, access to any other file in your Google Drive.
  • You can revoke CVack's access at any time from your Google Account permissions page.

What CVack does not do

  • No analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts.
  • No cookies used for tracking purposes.
  • No sharing or selling of your data to third parties.
  • No server-side storage of your CV data.

Children's privacy

CVack is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from children.
