This section is the main place we explain how long we keep information and how it is deleted. We keep information only as long as it is needed for the purposes in Section 2, unless the law, accounting, fraud prevention, security or a dispute requires longer.
Account and resume content
Kept while your account is active so you can edit and retrieve your work. You can delete individual resumes and cover letters at any time.
Coach and assistant conversations
Coach conversations are saved so you can return to earlier advice: each resume has one open conversation, and earlier conversations stay in your chat history. When you are signed in, assistant conversations may also be saved. In Account Settings, under chat history, you can delete individual conversations or clear all of them. No automatic deletion period currently applies; conversations are kept until you or we delete them. Records about the quality of assistant answers (such as topic, language and device type) are stored without the conversation text and without a visitor or conversation identifier.
Deleting a resume
Coach conversations can contain information copied from a resume. When you delete a resume, you can choose to delete its Coach conversations as well; if you do not, they stay in your chat history.
Temporary retry records
To avoid sending the same Coach message to the AI provider twice, a copy of each Coach request and reply is kept for about one day and then removed. These are separate from your saved conversations.
Account deletion
Deleting your account removes your account, resumes, cover letters, saved conversations, retry records and your website usage statistics from our active systems. Limited financial records may be retained as described below.
Billing and transaction records
Kept while your account exists to administer purchases, handle disputes and prevent fraud. After account deletion, Resumeva may retain limited records needed for tax, accounting, fraud prevention, refunds, disputes and legal compliance, where required or permitted by law. Records retained for those purposes are separated from the deleted account and access is restricted. Stripe, our payment processor, keeps its own payment records under its own policies. Resumeva does not store full card numbers.
Support requests and attachments
Support messages and request records are kept as needed to investigate and document the request. Uploaded support files receive a deletion deadline 30 days after the request is created, or 30 days after it is closed when a closure date is recorded. A protected cleanup job removes files after that deadline; a failed deletion remains queued for retry.
Published reviews
Kept while publication consent remains in place or while needed to manage the review. Reviewers can remove their review through the available controls or by contacting support.
Optional website usage statistics
Recorded only after a visitor allows optional tools. No automatic deletion period currently applies to these records: they are kept until we delete them, and we review whether they are still needed. Withdrawing consent stops new statistics but does not by itself delete statistics already recorded; you can ask us to delete them.
Diagnostics and security records
Kept only as long as reasonably needed to diagnose problems, protect the Services, prevent fraud and investigate abuse. Your accept or reject choices on job-tailoring suggestions are kept for up to 18 months, and records of reaching the Coach's message limit for 30 days. Our hosting, security and payment providers also keep logs under their own policies.
Backups
Deleted information can remain in backups until those backups expire under our hosting provider's backup schedule. Backups are used only to restore the Services after a failure.
