Privacy Policy
We built ProfileNova to be useful without being intrusive. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you have.
Overview
ProfileNova (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides free career tools including salary calculators, a resume builder, and skill analysis. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use our website and tools. By using ProfileNova, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We aim to collect as little as possible. The data we may process falls into three groups:
- Information you provide — such as your name, email, and message when you contact us or subscribe to our newsletter.
- Information processed in your browser — calculator inputs like salary, country, and skills, which are used locally to produce your results.
- Technical information — standard data such as browser type, device, approximate region, and pages visited, collected through cookies and analytics.
Calculator and tool data
Our calculators run in your browser. The salary figures, country selections, skills, and dates you enter are used to compute results on your device and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. If you reload or close the page, those inputs are gone unless your browser independently caches form values.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember basic preferences, and understand aggregate usage. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some non-essential features.
- Essential cookies — required for core functionality and security.
- Preference cookies — remember choices such as a selected country.
- Analytics cookies — help us measure usage in aggregate, never to identify you personally.
Advertising & Google AdSense
We may display advertising served by third-party vendors, including Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick/DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings, and you may control third-party advertising cookies via www.aboutads.info. Disabling these cookies does not stop ads from showing; it makes them less relevant to you.
Analytics
We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand which tools and pages are most useful. Analytics data is aggregated and used to improve the product. We do not sell this data, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.
Forms and email
When you submit our contact form or subscribe to updates, we use the details you provide solely to respond to you or send the content you requested. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in each message or by contacting us directly.
Third-party tools
We rely on a few reputable third parties to operate — for example, hosting, font delivery, and analytics providers. These providers process limited technical data on our behalf and are expected to maintain appropriate safeguards. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites we link to.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these, contact us and we’ll respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information under our control. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our product and legal obligations evolve. When we make material changes, we’ll revise the “last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice.
