Privacy Policy

Understand how we protect and use your personal data on our platform.

Effective date: 19 April 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to the KiwiCV website at https://www.kiwicv.co.nz, the KiwiCV application at https://app.kiwicv.co.nz, and any related public profile pages, contact forms, order flows, and support channels we operate.

In this Privacy Policy, we, us, and our mean KiwiCV.

1. Who we are

We provide CV, resume, cover letter, job-targeting, document editing, public profile, and related career-document services through our website and application.

If you have any privacy questions, you can contact us at:

Privacy contact: legal@kiwicv.co.nz
Contact page: https://www.kiwicv.co.nz/contact

2. What personal information we collect

We may collect the following personal information:

Account and identity information

Your name, email address, account identifiers, authentication details, and related account settings.

Order and transaction information

Your order details, selected service level, uploaded document types, revision history, job-target details, billing records, and payment status.

Uploaded content and generated content

Documents and information you upload or enter, including CVs, resumes, cover letters, employment history, education history, skills, achievements, referee details, job descriptions, structured extracted data, generated drafts, revision requests, and edited outputs.

Payment information

Payment-related information provided through our payment processor, such as Stripe session data, payment status, and transaction identifiers. We do not store your full payment card number.

Communications

Messages you send through our contact forms, support requests, order-related emails, and other communications with us.

Marketing and waitlist information

Your email address and related subscription status if you join our waitlist or marketing audience.

Technical and usage information

IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referral information, timestamps, cookies, analytics events, and similar technical data.

Public profile information

If you choose to publish a public profile, the information you choose to publish may become publicly accessible.

3. How we collect information

We collect information:

  • directly from you when you create an account, place an order, upload files, complete forms, request support, or publish a profile

  • automatically when you use our website or application, including through cookies and analytics tools

  • from service providers involved in authentication, payments, support, analytics, cloud hosting, email delivery, and document processing

  • from your use of our services, including by generating structured data and outputs from the information you submit

4. Why we collect and use your information

We collect and use personal information to:

  • provide, operate, maintain, and improve our website, application, and services

  • create and manage your account

  • process orders, payments, revisions, and document delivery

  • analyse and transform uploaded documents into editable and generated outputs

  • provide optional public profile functionality

  • communicate with you about your account, orders, support requests, and service updates

  • send marketing or waitlist emails where you have asked to receive them

  • monitor usage, performance, quality, and security

  • prevent fraud, misuse, and unauthorised access

  • comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms

5. AI-assisted processing

Our services may use AI-assisted tools to process uploaded documents, extracted text, job descriptions, and revision instructions in order to create or improve outputs.

This means that information you submit may be processed by third-party AI infrastructure or model providers acting on our behalf. We use this processing to provide the service you requested, not to make legal, credit, employment, or similarly regulated decisions about you.

You should review all generated outputs carefully before using them.

6. When we share your information

We may share personal information with trusted service providers that help us operate KiwiCV. Based on our current setup, these may include providers for:

  • authentication and account management, such as Clerk

  • payments, such as Stripe

  • email delivery and contact management, such as Resend

  • customer support tools, such as Plain

  • hosting, storage, and infrastructure, such as Vercel and Vercel Blob

  • analytics and product measurement, such as PostHog, Google Analytics, and Vercel Analytics

  • AI processing infrastructure and model routing, including providers accessed through Vercel AI Gateway

We may also disclose information:

  • where required by law

  • to protect our rights, users, systems, or services

  • in connection with a business sale, merger, restructure, or similar transaction

  • with your consent or at your direction

We do not sell your personal information.

7. Overseas disclosure

Some of our service providers may store or process personal information outside New Zealand.

Where we disclose personal information outside New Zealand, we will take steps intended to comply with the Privacy Act 2020, including seeking to ensure that the recipient is subject to appropriate safeguards, or obtaining authorisation where required.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website and application, keep you signed in, remember order-access state, measure usage, and improve performance.

This may include:

  • essential cookies used for login, security, and order flow

  • analytics cookies and similar tools

  • temporary cookies used to let you continue an in-progress guest order flow

For example, our application may set a temporary order-access cookie for up to 14 days so a guest user can continue an order before claiming it to an account.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of KiwiCV may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

9. Public profiles

If you choose to publish a public profile, the information you make public may be visible to other users, employers, search engines, and the public internet.

Please do not publish information you do not want to make public. If you un-publish or delete a profile, cached or archived copies may remain visible for a period of time outside our control.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information against loss, unauthorised access, use, modification, or disclosure.

However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.

In general:

  • account and order records may be retained while your account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward

  • uploaded and generated documents may be retained while needed to provide your services, revisions, document history, and downloads

  • marketing contact information may be retained until you unsubscribe

  • public profile information may remain available until you remove or unpublish it, subject to backups and technical delays

We may also retain de-identified or aggregated information that does not reasonably identify you.

12. Your rights

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you generally have the right to:

  • ask whether we hold personal information about you

  • request access to your personal information

  • request correction of your personal information

If you make an access or correction request, we will aim to respond within the time required by law.

To make a request, contact us using the details above.

13. Privacy breaches

If we become aware of a privacy breach involving your personal information, we will assess it promptly. If the breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 2020, we will notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals as required by law.

14. Third-party websites and services

Our website and application may link to third-party websites or integrate with third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on our website or application and update the effective date above.

16. Contact us
