Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

At PathfAI, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our platform. Please read it carefully.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us and information generated through your use of PathfAI.

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and password (stored as a secure hash).

CV & Career Data: When you use our CV scoring, CV builder, or career coaching features, we process the content you upload or enter — including work history, education, skills, and career goals. This data is used solely to deliver the service.

Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you interact with PathfAI, including pages visited, features used, session duration, and clickstream data. This helps us improve the product.

Payment Information: If you subscribe to PathfAI Pro, payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number or CVV — only a Stripe customer ID and subscription status.

Communications: If you contact us for support, we retain those communications to resolve your request and improve our service.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

- Provide, maintain, and improve PathfAI's features and functionality - Personalize your experience — for example, Dr. Morgan uses your CV and career goals to generate tailored coaching advice - Process transactions and send billing-related communications - Send weekly progress digests and product updates (you can unsubscribe at any time) - Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents - Comply with legal obligations - Respond to your requests and provide customer support

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your CV content to train AI models without explicit consent.

3. Third-Party Services

PathfAI integrates with the following third-party services to deliver its functionality:

OpenAI: AI-powered features (career coaching, CV scoring, interview preparation) are powered by OpenAI's API. Content you submit to these features is processed by OpenAI subject to their data processing agreement. We have a DPA in place with OpenAI that restricts them from using your data to train their models.

Supabase: We use Supabase for database storage and authentication. Your account data and career information are stored in Supabase's infrastructure, hosted on AWS. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit.

Stripe: Payment processing is handled by Stripe. When you subscribe to PathfAI Pro, your payment information is collected and stored by Stripe under their Privacy Policy. We receive only a token and subscription status.

Resend: We use Resend to send transactional emails (welcome emails, weekly digests). Your email address is shared with Resend for this purpose.

Each of these providers is contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purpose of providing services to PathfAI.

4. Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement industry-standard measures:

- All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher - Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and never stored in plaintext - Database access is restricted to authorized services only - We conduct regular security reviews of our infrastructure - Access to production systems is limited to essential personnel

Despite these measures, no system is completely secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately at privacy@pathfai.com.
