1Introduction

FirstJobResume (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit and use our free resume builder at firstjobresume.com.

By using our service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you disagree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of our service.

This policy is written in plain language so you understand exactly what we do and do not do with your data. We do not use legal jargon to confuse you.

2Information We Collect

Resume data you enter: We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use our resume builder. The name, email, phone number, work history, and other details you enter in the builder are stored temporarily in your browser session only.

This data is sent to our backend servers only when you click the Download button, solely for the purpose of generating your PDF or Word file. The data is immediately and permanently deleted from our servers after your file is generated — typically within seconds.

We do not collect:

  • Usernames or passwords (no accounts)
  • Payment information (service is free)
  • Persistent personal identifiers linked to your resume content
  • Location data beyond what your browser provides to analytics

3Automatically Collected Information

When you visit firstjobresume.com, certain information is automatically collected by our analytics tools:

  • Page views and navigation: Which pages you visit and how you move through the site.
  • Session duration: How long you spend on each page.
  • Device and browser type: The type of device, operating system, and browser you use.
  • Referral source: How you found our website.
  • Approximate location: Country or city level only — not precise GPS location.

All analytics data is anonymised. We cannot identify individual users from this data. It is used solely to understand how people use our site so we can improve it.

4Google AdSense and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense is a service provided by Google LLC that helps us keep FirstJobResume free for all users.

Google AdSense may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to show you relevant advertisements based on your browsing history across websites that display Google ads. This is called interest-based or personalised advertising.

What Google AdSense does:

  • Uses cookies to track your browsing activity across sites
  • Shows ads based on your interests and browsing history
  • Collects data about ad impressions and clicks
  • May use device identifiers on mobile devices
Your choices: You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting Google's Ad Settings page. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from third-party ad networks at aboutads.info.

Advertising Cookies

Purpose: Display relevant ads

Cookie Consent

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. For more details, see our Cookie Policy.

6How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To generate your PDF or DOCX resume file when you click Download
  • To understand how visitors use our site and improve the user experience
  • To display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
  • To detect and prevent abuse, bot traffic, and security threats
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

7Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • HTTPS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS.
  • No persistent resume storage: Your resume data is deleted from our servers immediately after your file is generated.
  • Security headers: Our servers are configured with strict security headers including Content Security Policy and HSTS.
  • Rate limiting: We limit the number of requests per IP address to prevent abuse.
  • Input sanitisation: All user input is sanitised before processing to prevent injection attacks.
