Privacy Policy

How we handle your data

This Privacy Policy explains how Verlane (Veniamin Rybnikov) processes personal data when you use the app. You are the data controller for content you upload; we process it on your behalf to provide the service.

What we collect

  • Account data (email, name, avatar) when you sign in
  • Resume data you create or upload
  • Mindbase notes and uploaded files
  • Chat messages and tailoring sessions
  • Voice profile and rules you configure

Why we use it

  • Provide resume building, tailoring, cover letters, and application answers
  • Authenticate you and keep your data separated from other users
  • Improve reliability and security of the service

AI processing

To answer you in chat and to write suggestions, tailored resumes, cover letters, application answers and health checks, we send the parts of your resume, Mindbase and chat that the task needs to an AI provider. Which provider depends on the task:

  • DeepSeek (Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd., a company based in China) — chat, tailoring, cover letters, application answers, the resume health check, and reading and organising the documents you upload. DeepSeek's terms for business customers do not say where it processes what we send. Its privacy policy says it processes and stores personal data in the People's Republic of China, so you should assume your data may be processed there.
  • Anthropic (Anthropic PBC, a company based in the United States) — only to read scanned PDFs and images, such as screenshots, that have no text we can copy out. For these we send the whole file. Anthropic stores this data in the United States and may process it in other countries, including in Europe, Asia and Australia.
  • TypeSafe AI — the fit check that grades a job posting against your experience. We send short excerpts of your documents, resume lines and answers you confirmed — never whole documents. It returns a grade per requirement and generates no text.

This means that when you use AI features, your data is sent to companies outside the EU. The European Commission has not recognised China as protecting personal data to the same standard as the EU.

We do not sell your data. Verlane itself does not train AI models on your content. That could change in the future — if it does, we will update this policy and tell you before it takes effect.

Anthropic's terms for business customers forbid it from training its models on what we send. DeepSeek's terms for business customers do not say whether it may use what we send to train its models, so we cannot promise that it will not.

Where data is stored

Your account and database data are stored on Supabase servers in the EU (Paris, France). The app is hosted on Vercel. When you use AI features, the parts of your data a task needs are also sent to the AI providers above — see AI processing.

Subprocessors

  • Supabase — authentication, database, file storage (EU)
  • Vercel — application hosting
  • DeepSeek — AI for chat, tailoring, cover letters, application answers, health checks and organising your uploads (based in China)
  • Anthropic — AI reading of scanned PDFs and images (based in the United States)
  • TypeSafe AI — fit-check grading of document excerpts
  • Google — OAuth sign-in (when you choose Google login)

Retention

We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete content from Mindbase and resumes in the app. You can delete your entire account from Profile → Delete account.

Your rights (GDPR)

  • Access, correction, deletion, and export of your data
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority

Cookies & analytics

Essential cookies/session storage are required to keep you signed in. Non-essential analytics (e.g. Vercel Web Analytics) will only run after cookie consent when enabled.

We also record which product features you use and when (for example resume saved, tailoring run, or download) as event names and timestamps in our database to improve Verlane. We never store the text of your resume, Mindbase entries, or chat in this usage log.
