At Career Studio, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our resume building, ATS optimization, and career guidance services.

3. Data Storage & Security

Your privacy and the security of your professional data are our highest priorities. Your resume data is stored securely in our enterprise-grade Supabase Postgres database. We implement strict Row-Level Security (RLS) policies, meaning your data is cryptographically isolated and only accessible to your authenticated user account.

We use industry-standard encryption for data at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We do not sell your personal information to recruiters, data brokers, or any third parties.

To provide you with cutting-edge tools, we securely integrate with the following trusted third-party service providers:

• Supabase: For secure database hosting, storage, and user authentication infrastructure.

• Google OAuth: To provide seamless and secure social login capabilities.
• Analytics Partners: To securely monitor platform traffic and performance.

5. Your Privacy Rights

We believe your data belongs to you. Depending on your location (such as under the GDPR or CCPA), you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you at any time.
• Correct or update inaccurate or incomplete data in your profile.
• Request full deletion of your account and all associated resume data.
