How CV Optimiser handles your CV

CVs can contain personal information, so this page explains what the tool needs, how it is used, and what you should avoid sharing.

CV Optimiser provides AI-assisted CV checks and practical suggestions. It does not guarantee interviews, job offers, ATS acceptance, or employer responses. Results are guidance only and should be reviewed before you apply.

What you provide

To run a useful check, CV Optimiser needs your CV content and the job description you want to apply for.

  • You can paste CV text or upload a CV where upload is available
  • You paste the job description so feedback is specific to that role
  • The tool does not need passport details, bank details, national insurance numbers or a full home address

How the content is used

Your CV and job description are used to generate your role-fit score, missing keyword guidance, recruiter-style verdict and improvement suggestions.

  • The check compares your CV with the exact role
  • The report highlights gaps, weak evidence and wording opportunities
  • Suggestions are guidance only and should be reviewed before you apply

AI processing

CV Optimiser uses AI-assisted analysis to produce feedback. Do not upload content you are not comfortable having processed for this purpose.

The safest approach is to remove details that are not needed for judging CV quality before running a check.

Accounts, reports and payments

  • Signed-in users may have access to saved results or report history where available
  • Payments are processed by Stripe
  • CV Optimiser does not store full card details

Good CV upload hygiene

Before checking a CV, keep only the details that help assess the application.

  • Use email and phone details only if you are comfortable including them
  • Remove national insurance numbers, passport numbers and bank details
  • Check every suggested rewrite remains truthful before using it
