Privacy Summary

We collect minimal data and prioritize your privacy. We only collect anonymous usage analytics to improve our site. For client-side tools like our ATS Resume Checker, your data never leaves your browser.

We use cookies for analytics and affiliate tracking, but you can opt out at any time.
