Privacy Policy
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how 25 Fathoms, LLC (“Resume Credibility,” “we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit resumecredibility.com or use the Resume Credibility service (the “Service”). It applies to visitors to our site, prospects who contact us, and customers who request an audit. The resumes and role descriptions you submit are governed primarily by your instructions and by our Terms of Use.
Information We Collect
We collect information in three categories. First, account and contact information you provide when you request an audit, ask a question, or sign up: your name, work email, company, and role. Second, site and usage data generated when you use the site or Service: log entries, IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. Third, the material you submit — the resumes and role descriptions you upload to request an audit. This material typically contains personal information about a third party, the candidate, including name, work history, education, and contact details.
How We Use Information
We use account and contact information to provide the Service, respond to you, send service notices, and process payment. We use site and usage data to operate, secure, and improve the site and Service. We use the material you submit only to produce and deliver your audit. We use automated analysis, including an AI model, to help produce the audit; that processing generates your report only. We do not sell any of this information, and we do not use the resumes you submit to train external machine-learning models.
Cookies and Analytics
Our site uses cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality and traffic analytics. When you first visit, a consent banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the cookie preferences control on the site. Non-essential cookies, including any analytics such as Google Analytics, do not load until you consent. Where your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) or similar signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out and non-essential cookies stay off without any banner interaction. We do not use your information for targeted or behavioral advertising.
Sharing and Subprocessors
We share information with the third-party providers that operate the Service: Stripe (payment processing), an AI model provider used to help produce the audit, and our hosting, file-storage, and email-delivery providers. Each processes data only to provide its service to us, under terms that limit their use of it and bar the use of your material to train their models. We disclose information to authorities only when required by law or to protect rights, property, or safety. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
The Material You Submit
You own the resumes and role descriptions you submit. We act as a processor of that material on your behalf and under your instructions, and our handling of it is governed by our Terms of Use. You are responsible for having a lawful basis to share candidate information with us. If a candidate contacts us directly about their information, we will refer them to you as the party that submitted it, except where the law requires us to act.
Data Retention
Account and contact information is retained for the life of your relationship with us plus a reasonable period afterward for billing, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Site and usage data is retained for security and audit purposes. The resumes and role descriptions you submit, and the audits we produce, are deleted or de-identified within 90 days of delivery. Marketing prospect data is retained for two years from last contact unless you ask us to delete it sooner. You can ask us to delete material you submitted at any time.
Security
We protect information using reasonable technical and organizational measures, including encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest where supported by our providers, and role-based access controls. No system is perfectly secure. If we become aware of a breach that affects your information, we will notify you without undue delay and in compliance with applicable law.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we honor it as a valid opt-out. If you have questions or want to confirm your preferences, email privacy@resumecredibility.com.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), including the right to know what we collect and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising (see the Do Not Sell or Share section above). Where you send a Global Privacy Control signal, we honor it as a valid opt-out. You can opt out of marketing email using the unsubscribe link in any message. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the time required by applicable law, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
International Data Transfers
Resume Credibility and our primary providers are based in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. Where required, we rely on standard contractual clauses or other approved transfer mechanisms.
Children’s Privacy
The Service is intended for business use by adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe we have collected information from a minor, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date and, where the change affects an active customer, communicated by email at least 30 days in advance. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance.
