Privacy Policy — FileForge
FileForge does not require an account or sign-in, and stores all resume data locally on your device.
Data We Collect
- Resume content (name, contact info, work history, education, skills, etc.) — stored only in a local database on your device, never uploaded to our servers.
- Profile photo — captured via camera or gallery, stored locally, not transmitted by us.
- AI writing assistance — text you explicitly submit to an AI feature is sent to Groq, Inc. via their API to generate suggestions. No other resume data leaves your device. See Groq's Privacy Policy.
- Advertising — ads are served via Google AdMob, which may collect device identifiers, IP address, and usage data. See Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalized ads via Device Settings → Google → Ads.
- Version check — the app checks the Play Store for updates via a standard request containing no personal data.
- Exported files — PDF/Word files are generated entirely on-device and saved to your Downloads folder; nothing is uploaded.
