CV ZA, run from Johannesburg, South Africa, is the responsible party for personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act.
We use information from the service to operate CV ZA, improve it, and keep it free.
The CV you write, your references, and anything you put into the document stay on your phone.
At the download step there is one tick box: Send me matching jobs and offers on WhatsApp. It starts unticked. If you leave it, we never message you.
If you tick it and change your mind, reply stop to any message we send.
The buttons that write bullet points, polish your summary, tailor your CV to an advert or draft a cover letter use an AI that does not run on your phone. When you tap one, the words that job needs are sent through our server to the company that does the writing, then the draft comes back.
Information is stored on our servers. Hosting may be outside South Africa. We keep it for as long as it is needed to run the service.
Reply stop to any message we send and we stop. We never message anyone who did not tick the box.
If you believe we have broken the law, you can complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa.
