We do not sell your personal information.

We share information only when it is needed to run the Service:

• Service providers: trusted third parties who help us with hosting, storage, payments, analytics, email and AI technology. They may use your data only to provide their services to us.
• Legal reasons: when required by law, a court order or a government request, or to protect our rights and our users.
• Business transfer: if ApplyFolks is merged or sold, your information may move to the new owner under this policy.

• Your account and resume data are kept while your account is active.
• Tailored resumes are deleted from our storage after you download them.
• Payment records are kept for as long as tax and accounting laws require.
• When your account is deleted, we delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where the law requires us to keep it.

We use your browser storage to keep you signed in and to remember your settings, such as light or dark theme. We also use privacy-friendly analytics to understand how the Service is used. You can clear this storage from your browser settings, but some features may stop working.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections and limited access. No online service is 100% secure, so we cannot promise complete security.

You can ask us to:

• Give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct information that is wrong.
• Delete your account and data.
• Stop using your data, by withdrawing your consent at any time.

To make any of these requests, email us at support@applyfolks.com. We will reply within 30 days.

ApplyFolks is not meant for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has given us their data, contact us and we will delete it.

Your data may be stored and processed in countries other than your own. We take steps to protect it wherever it is processed.

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make important changes, we will tell you by email or on the website. Using the Service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
