Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 9, 2026

ForgeResume (“we”, “our”, or “us”) operates the website forgeresume.work and provides an AI-powered resume analysis service. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using ForgeResume, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Resume Content

When you upload a resume, we process the text content of your PDF or DOCX file to provide ATS analysis and improvement suggestions. This may include your name, contact information, work history, education, and skills.

If you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication data (via Google OAuth or magic link). We do not store passwords.

We automatically collect standard server logs including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This data helps us maintain and improve the service.
