Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 19, 2026

1. Introduction

Fetchrole ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the Fetchrole service, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the rights you have over your data.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your CV or professional profile with employers or third-party advertisers without your explicit consent.

2. Data Controller

Fetchrole is the data controller responsible for your personal data. For any privacy-related enquiries, contact us at:

  • Email: privacy@fetchrole.com
  • Website: fetchrole.com

3. Information We Collect

Account Information

  • Name and email address (provided during sign-up).
  • Password (stored in hashed form — we never store your plain-text password).

Professional Profile

  • CV / résumé content: work experience, education, skills, and achievements.
  • Job preferences: target roles, locations, salary expectations, employment type.
  • Additional context you choose to provide (career goals, languages, certifications).

Usage Data

  • Pages visited, features used, and interaction patterns within the Service.
  • Device type, browser, operating system, and IP address.
  • Session timestamps and feature engagement metrics.

Payment Data

Payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited. We do not collect or store your credit card numbers or banking details. We receive only transaction confirmation and subscription status from Paddle.

Communications

If you contact our support team, we retain the content of that correspondence to resolve your request and improve our service.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and personalise the Service: match fresh job listings to your profile, generate tailored CV summaries and cover letters, and deliver your daily job digest.
  • To manage your account and subscription, including billing and support.
  • To send you transactional emails (job digest, account notifications, subscription receipts).
  • To send marketing communications — only with your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
  • To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve the quality and accuracy of our matching algorithms.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Contractual necessity — to deliver the Service you signed up for (account management, job matching, document generation).
  • Legitimate interests — to improve our service, prevent fraud, and ensure security, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Consent — for marketing emails and optional analytics cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legal obligation — where we are required to process data to comply with applicable law.

6. Data Sharing & Third Parties

AI Model Providers

To generate tailored documents, relevant portions of your professional profile and selected job descriptions are sent to third-party AI model providers. These providers act as data processors and are contractually bound to process data only for this purpose and to maintain appropriate security standards.

Payment Processor

Paddle processes subscription payments on our behalf as Merchant of Record. Paddle's privacy policy governs the payment data they collect.

Analytics & Infrastructure

We use industry-standard infrastructure and analytics tools to operate and improve the Service. These sub-processors are contractually bound to maintain data security and confidentiality.

Legal Disclosure

We may disclose your data if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Fetchrole, our users, or the public.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account:

  • Your professional profile and generated documents are deleted within 30 days.
  • Account logs may be retained for up to 90 days for fraud prevention and legal compliance.
  • Anonymised, aggregated usage statistics may be retained indefinitely.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Restriction — ask us to limit how we process your data in certain circumstances.
  • Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
  • Withdrawal of consent — withdraw any consent you have given at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@fetchrole.com. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. International Data Transfers

Fetchrole operates globally. Your data may be processed in countries outside your own. When transferring personal data internationally, we apply appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or rely on adequacy decisions recognised by applicable data protection law.

10. Cookies & Tracking

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you logged in and maintain session security. With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how the Service is used and to improve it. You can manage cookie preferences via the cookie banner or your browser settings.

  • Strictly necessary — authentication tokens, CSRF protection. Cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics — anonymised usage metrics. Require your consent.

11. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted storage, access controls, and regular security audits. While we take reasonable precautions, no system is completely secure. Please notify us immediately if you suspect a security incident involving your account.

12. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will notify you by email or in-product notice before material changes take effect. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
