This page is maintained by WJL Engineering to explain how CareerSynth ("we", "us") handles personal data when you visit our website and use the free Career Quickscan. It is written in plain language and is not legal advice. If anything is unclear, email us at hello@careersynth.com.
Who we are
The data controller is WJL Engineering, based in the Netherlands. For any privacy question or request, contact us at hello@careersynth.com.
What data we collect
- CV content you upload (PDF or DOCX) and the answers to the five Quickscan questions.
- Name and email extracted from your CV so we can identify the submission.
- Usage data such as pages viewed, referral source, approximate location, device and browser type. This is only collected if you accept analytics cookies.
- Communications you send us by email or the contact form.
Why we use it
- To generate and deliver your personalized Career Quickscan report.
- To operate, secure, and improve the website.
- To measure aggregate traffic and content performance (only with your consent).
- To reply to messages you send us.
Legal bases (GDPR)
We rely on performance of a service to process your CV and questionnaire so we can generate your report, legitimate interest to keep the site secure and functional, and consent for analytics and marketing cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie banner.
Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies. When you first visit, we show a cookie banner and use Google Consent Mode v2. Until you choose, analytics and advertising storage are denied by default, so Google Analytics does not store identifiers or send analytics events tied to your device.
| Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Remembering your language and cookie choice, keeping the site secure. | Always on |
| Analytics (Google Analytics 4) | Aggregate pageviews and CTA interactions to improve the site. | Only if you accept |
| Advertising | Not used today. Reserved via Consent Mode and denied by default. | Only if you accept |
You can change your choice any time by clearing the cs_cookie_consent value in your browser storage, which will re-show the banner on your next visit.
Who we share data with
We keep the number of processors small:
- Supabase: database and file storage for your CV and submission.
- Lovable AI Gateway: generates the Quickscan report from your CV and answers.
- Google Analytics: measures aggregate traffic, only if you accept analytics cookies.
- Cloudflare: hosting and edge delivery of the site.
Where a processor is located outside the EEA, transfers rely on the provider's Standard Contractual Clauses. We do not sell your personal data.
How long we keep it
Uploaded CVs and submission records are retained for 3 months, after which they are deleted from our database and storage. Contact emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your request.
Your rights
Under GDPR you can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your data, and object to processing based on legitimate interest. Email hello@careersynth.com and we will respond within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
Security
Data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored on managed infrastructure with access controls. No system is perfectly secure. If you believe you have found a vulnerability, please email hello@careersynth.com.
