Vitae
Privacy Policy
Vitae is a CV and resume builder for iPhone, made by Goodstar Apps (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what data the app handles, where it goes, and the choices you have. We wrote it to be short and plain.
The short version
- There is no account. Your CVs, cover letters and photo are stored on your iPhone.
- When you use an AI feature, the text needed for that request is sent to our server and to OpenAI to generate a reply.
- Purchases are handled by Apple, and subscription status is managed through RevenueCat.
- We do not show ads, sell your data, or track you across other apps and websites.
Data stored on your device
Everything you enter, such as your name, contact details, work history, education, skills, summary, job postings and cover letters, is saved in the app’s storage on your iPhone. An optional photo is saved in the app’s own folder. We cannot see this data. Deleting a CV removes it, “Delete all data” in Settings removes all of it, and deleting the app removes everything.
AI features
Review suggestions, Improve with AI, rewriting, translation, tailoring to a job and cover letters are generated by an AI model. When you use one of them, the app sends the content needed for that request to our server, which runs on Cloudflare, and our server forwards it to OpenAI. This can include your CV text (including your name and contact details), the job posting you pasted, and your answers to the app’s questions. Your photo is never sent.
- Our server passes the request on and returns the reply. It does not keep your CV content.
- OpenAI processes the request under its API terms. Under those terms, data sent through the API is not used to train OpenAI’s models, and OpenAI may keep it for a limited time to monitor abuse. See OpenAI’s privacy policy.
- Some automatic review checks run on your device and send nothing.
If you do not want your content processed this way, you can still build and export a CV without using the AI features.
Purchases
Subscriptions are bought through your Apple Account. Apple processes the payment, and we never see your payment details. To know whether Premium is active, the app uses RevenueCat, which receives an anonymous app user ID, your purchase history and basic device information such as the app version and country of your App Store. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.
Apple services
The app may ask iOS to show the standard App Store rating prompt, and links open in Safari or an in-app browser. These are handled by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy.
Photo library
If you choose to add a photo, iOS lets you pick one picture. The app only receives that picture, crops and resizes it, and stores it on your device.
What we do not do
We do not use analytics or advertising tools, we do not sell or share your data for advertising, and we do not track you as defined by Apple’s App Tracking Transparency.
Legal basis and your rights
We process the content of an AI request only to provide the feature you asked for, and subscription data only to provide what you bought. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, or to object to its processing. Since your CV data stays on your device, you can view, change and delete it in the app at any time. For anything else, write to us at the address below.
Children
Vitae is meant for people preparing job applications and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date. Significant changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
