GDPR Data Protection Policy

Last Updated: July 25, 2025

Introduction

This GDPR Data Protection Policy is for users of CVWale ("we," "us," or "our") residing in the European Economic Area (EEA). The purpose of this policy is to provide you with detailed information about your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and to explain how we collect, process, and protect your personal data in compliance with this regulation.

This policy supplements our main Privacy Policy and should be read in conjunction with it. For the purposes of GDPR, CVWale, accessible from https://cvwale.com/, is the "Data Controller" of the personal information you provide to us.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data under GDPR

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent: We process your personal data when you have given us clear and explicit consent to do so for the specific purpose of creating a CV. You provide this consent when you voluntarily input your information into our CV builder.
• Performance of a Contract: Although our service is free, the act of you using our tool to create a CV can be considered a contract to provide a service. We process your data to fulfill this service, i.e., to generate and allow you to download your CV.
• Legitimate Interests: We may process your information when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests, such as improving our services, ensuring the security of our website, and providing a better user experience, provided that our interests do not override your data protection rights.
• Legal Obligations: We may process your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

Your Data Protection Rights Under GDPR

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. CVWale aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data. These rights include:

1. The Right to Access

You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. Upon request, we will provide you with a copy of your personal data in an electronic format. This allows you to check that we are lawfully processing it.

2. The Right of Rectification

You have the right to have your information rectified if that information is inaccurate or incomplete. If you believe any data we hold about you is incorrect, you can contact us to have it corrected. Since our service is session-based, the easiest way to rectify information is to correct it in the form before generating your final document.

3. The Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data when there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. Please note that for a tool like ours, we do not permanently store the CV data you enter after your session ends, unless required for legal or security reasons.

4. The Right to Object to Processing

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest as the legal basis for our processing. You also have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

5. The Right of Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information. This means we would be permitted to store your data but not to process it further. You can exercise this right in certain circumstances, for example, if you contest the accuracy of the data.

6. The Right to Data Portability

You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information we have on you in a structured, machine-readable, and commonly used format. This right applies to personal data that you have provided to us, where the processing is based on your consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means.

7. The Right to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where CVWale relied on your consent to process your personal information. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You can withdraw consent by simply discontinuing the use of our service.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact information provided below. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.

International Transfer of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. Our servers are located in various locations globally.

If you are located in the EEA and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to these locations for processing. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

CVWale will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this GDPR Policy and our main Privacy Policy, and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

If you are not satisfied with our response to your data protection query, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a Data Protection Authority. For EEA residents, you can contact your local data protection supervisory authority for more information and guidance.
