Privacy policy
Last updated: April 21, 2026
Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to the HREcho browser extension, mobile application, website, and related services ("Services"). Accessing or using HREcho constitutes your automatic agreement to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using HREcho immediately.
TL;DR (Straightforward Version)
- What we collect — only the basics: email, hashed password, social login ID, subscription info, as well as your resumes and vacancy viewing history.
- What we don’t collect — we don't see your card numbers, we don't use ad trackers, and we never sell your data.
- AI Processing — we analyze your resume text and job descriptions to generate recommendations, but we do not use your personal data to train models without anonymization.
- Vacancy Data — we store your interaction history with vacancies and recruiter contacts you've saved to help you manage your job search process.
- Where stored — on secured servers (may be located in the EU or US) in compliance with security standards.
- Your rights — you can request, delete, export your data, or file a complaint with a regulator.
- Children — the service is strictly 18+. We do not collect data from minors.
- Ads — zero ads in the app, we do not share data with advertisers.
- Account deletion — when a profile is deleted, all data is erased within 30 days (except for tax reporting on transactions).
Information We Collect
We only collect the minimal amount of personal information necessary to operate and improve our Services:
- Professional Data — the content of your resumes, cover letters, and their AI-driven adaptation history to track your job search progress.
- Email address — used for account identification and login.
- Password — used for account authentication and login.
- Third-party provider ID (Apple/Google, etc.) — if you choose to sign in using third-party services.
- Subscription data — such as plan type and activation date, obtained through integrations.
- Search data — vacancies you have saved and recruiter contacts you have found for professional purposes.
When using AI adaptation, we process your resume text and job description in real-time. We do not use this data to train models without first removing personal information (anonymization).
We store passwords only as hashed and salted data, never in plain text.
We do not collect or store your payment card details. All financial transactions are securely processed through the Apple App Store / Google Play Store / other certified providers. We receive purchase metadata (such as subscription type, purchase date, renewal status, and transaction identifiers) from Apple / Google / other certified providers via receipts and webhooks. This information is strictly limited to non-sensitive purchase metadata and does not include your card details. We use this data only to confirm the subscription, provide access to premium features, and fulfill legal obligations (accounting or tax records).
Your data may be stored and processed outside your country of residence, including in the European Union and/or the United States. We ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.
We may use local storage technologies (such as browser localStorage or app storage) to save your preferences and work history. We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.

How We Use Your Information
Your data is used exclusively for:
- Authenticating your account and ensuring login;
- Managing access to subscription-based features;

We do not transfer personal data to third parties, except for trusted service providers necessary for the operation of our Services (e.g., cloud hosting providers). These providers act only on our instructions and in accordance with data protection agreements.
Third-Party Service Providers
To provide certain functions, we use trusted third-party sub-processors:
- Cloud Infrastructure — to host our servers and databases (e.g., DigitalOcean, OVH Cloud, Hetzner, or AWS).
- AI Service Providers — for text analysis and recommendation generation (e.g., OpenAI/Google Gemini, or Anthropic).
- Payment Systems — Apple / Google / other certified providers, as described in the "Subscriptions" section.
These providers receive only the minimal amount of data necessary to perform their specific tasks.
Data Storage and Security
We apply industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit (SSL/TLS), the use of hashed and salted passwords, and restricted access to stored data.
Data Retention
We store your account data as long as your profile is active. If you delete your account, all associated personal data will be removed from our systems within 30 days. Purchase-related records may be retained in accordance with applicable legal requirements (e.g., tax or accounting obligations), but after account deletion, they are disconnected from the user's identity.

- Request correction or deletion;
