Privacy and data handling
UNlockit keeps the product useful without treating personal career data casually. This page explains what we collect, why, and how to control it.
Account data
We store the email address and profile details needed to provide the service, including saved roles, watchlists, and preferences. You can change your email or delete your account at any time from the Account page; deletion enters a grace window before data is hard-deleted.
CV handling
Uploaded CV files are used for profile extraction and matching. The original PDF is removed after the configured retention window; structured fields extracted by AI (skills, experience, languages, etc.) are kept so matching keeps working. You can delete the file or the entire account from the Account page.
Cookies and analytics
We use a session cookie (signed, not personal data) to keep you logged in, and a language cookie to remember your locale. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand site usage in aggregate — visit counts, page popularity, traffic sources — so we can prioritise improvements. Analytics data is anonymised and IP-truncated. You can opt out by disabling cookies in your browser or by installing the official Google Analytics opt-out add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
Advertising
We may serve ads through Google AdSense. AdSense and partner networks use cookies to deliver and personalise ads, and to measure their performance. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google’s Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com/) and via the EDAA opt-out (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/) or DAA opt-out (https://optout.aboutads.info/). Disabling ad cookies still allows ads to be shown, but they will not be personalised.
Transactional emails (verification, password reset, billing receipts, subscription notices) are sent through our SMTP provider. If you opt in, we may send a periodic AI-curated job digest — each digest carries a one-click unsubscribe link as required by RFC 8058.
Payments
Subscription billing is processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card data. Stripe holds payment-related personal data under its own privacy policy (https://stripe.com/privacy).
Third-party services
We rely on infrastructure providers (database hosting, mail delivery, edge / DNS) and a Large Language Model provider for the AI matching and content features. These vendors process data only to perform the service and are bound by their own data-processing terms.
Your rights and control
You can: (1) view and edit your profile and CV-extracted fields on the Profile page; (2) change email or password, sign out other devices, and delete your account from the Account page; (3) unsubscribe from email digests with one click; (4) email [email protected] for any data access, correction, or deletion request not covered by the self-service tools.
