Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 4, 2026
Resume88 is a free resume builder. We built it to need as little of your data as possible — your resume lives in your own browser, our analytics are anonymous, and we never sell your information.
- Your resume is saved in your browser, not on our servers — until you choose to download it.
- We collect anonymous usage analytics (page views, device, approximate country). We don’t store your IP address.
- We use a few trusted services (storage, payments, ads, contact). We never sell your data.
- You can ask us to delete your data any time via the contact form.
1. Who we are
Resume88 (“we”, “us”) operates the website at www.resume88.com and its free resume-building tools. This policy explains what data we process and why. If you have questions, reach us through the contact form on our homepage.
2. Your resume content
As you build a resume, everything you type (and any photo you add) is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. It is not transmitted to us while you edit, and it stays on your device. You can wipe it any time using the “clear saved data” option on the homepage, or by clearing your browser storage.
When you click download to export your PDF, we save a snapshot of activity data to our database so we can review submissions, improve the product, and respond if you contacted us. These snapshots are automatically deleted after 90 days.
3. Analytics we collect
To understand how the site is used, we record anonymous events such as page views, resume builds, and downloads. With each event we may store:
- A random, non-identifying visitor ID and session ID (stored in your browser) to count unique visitors and active sessions;
- Device type, browser, and operating system;
- The page you’re on and the referring site (where you came from);
- Your approximate location (country and city) derived from your IP address at the network edge. We do not store your IP address itself, and we don’t determine precise/GPS location.
If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal, we skip the location lookup entirely.
4. Cookies & local storage
We use browser localStorage to save your in-progress resume and the anonymous visitor/session IDs above. These are essential to how the tool works.
If advertising is enabled, our advertising and partner providers (see below) may set cookies to measure and personalize ads. Where required by law (e.g. the EU/UK and California), we ask for your consent before non-essential cookies are set, and you can change your choice at any time.
5. Third-party services
We rely on a small number of reputable providers, each of which processes only what it needs:
- Supabase — hosts our database (analytics events and download snapshots).
- Stripe — processes optional donations and the one-time Premium upgrade. Payments happen on Stripe’s secure page; we never see or store your card details, though we keep a record of the purchase (the email you provided to Stripe and the amount) to provide support and prevent abuse.
- Web3Forms — delivers messages you send through our contact form.
- Resend — if you ask us to email you a copy of your resume, we use Resend to deliver it to the address you provide. The resume content is sent only to that address.
- Anthropic (Claude) — if you use an optional AI writing feature, the relevant resume text you choose to improve is sent to Anthropic’s API to generate suggestions. It is used only to return your result.
- Geolocation — approximate country/city is derived from your IP via our hosting edge network, with public IP-geolocation services (ipwho.is, geojs.io) as a fallback.
- Google AdSense (when ads are enabled) — serves ads on our content pages and may use cookies. See Google’s advertising policies.
- Affiliate & job partners — when you click a partner link, that partner may set its own cookies and apply its own privacy policy.
6. Affiliate disclosure
Some links on Resume88 — for example “find jobs,” resume-review, or course recommendations shown after you download — are affiliate or partner links. If you click one and sign up or purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps keep Resume88 free. We only feature services we believe are genuinely useful to job seekers.
7. Advertising & your choices
We may show ads on our content pages (blog, examples, glossary, tools) — never inside the resume builder itself. Advertising partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads. You can manage ad personalization through Google’s Ad Settings or opt-out tools such as YourAdChoices and Your Online Choices (EU).
