Privacy Policy for Skill Up Online Resume Engine
Effective Date: January 26, 2026
Skill Up Online (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website https://skilluponline.online and the associated Resume Engine application (the “App” or “Service”), a free online tool that allows users to create, customize, and download professional resumes.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we safeguard it when you use our Service. Since the App is provided free of charge and requires no registration or account creation, we collect and process only minimal data necessary to deliver the functionality.
1. Information We Collect
A. Information You Provide Directly
- Uploaded resume files (PDF, DOC, DOCX) or any manual input you enter (e.g., name, contact details, professional summary, work experience, education, skills, certifications, awards, profile photo).
- Public LinkedIn profile URL (if provided) — we fetch only publicly available data from your profile.
- Profile photo (JPEG/PNG) if you choose to upload one.
B. Automatically Collected Information
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, approximate location (derived from IP), pages visited, time and date of access.
- Usage data: Interactions with the App (e.g., template selections, color changes, sections edited) for performance and improvement purposes.
C. No Account Data We do not require email addresses, passwords, or any login credentials. No persistent user accounts are created.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information solely to:
- Process and parse uploaded files or LinkedIn data to auto-populate resume sections.
- Enable real-time editing, preview, customization (templates, colors, photo integration), and PDF generation.
- Provide the Service as requested.
- Improve the App (anonymous analytics only — no personal identification).
- Ensure security, detect errors, and prevent abuse.
We do not use your resume content for marketing, training AI models, selling, or any purpose unrelated to providing the Service.
3. Data Storage and Retention
- All data (uploaded files, entered information, fetched LinkedIn data) is processed in-memory during your active session and is not stored permanently on our servers after you close the browser/tab or the session ends.
- Temporary server-side processing may occur for PDF generation (typically seconds to minutes), after which data is deleted.
- Uploaded photos and any temporary caches are deleted immediately after download or session timeout.
- We retain minimal server logs (IP, access time) for up to 30 days for security and debugging purposes only.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or advertising.
Limited sharing occurs only with:
- Service providers (e.g., cloud hosting like Google Cloud Run) under strict confidentiality agreements — they process data only to host and run the App.
- Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
No data is transferred to advertising networks, data brokers, or analytics platforms that track individuals across sites.
5. International Data Transfers
The App is hosted in the United States (Google Cloud). If you access it from outside the US (e.g., Pakistan), your data may be transferred to and processed in the US. We rely on standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions where applicable to ensure appropriate safeguards.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR for EU/EEA users, similar rights in other jurisdictions):
- Right to access, correct, or delete data we hold (though most data is session-only and auto-deleted).
- Right to object to processing or withdraw consent (processing is based on your use of the Service).
- Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Since we do not store personal data long-term, most requests will confirm that no identifiable data remains.
To exercise rights, contact us at the email below.
7. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data during transmission and temporary processing (e.g., HTTPS encryption, secure cloud infrastructure). However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our Service is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
