Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Our Zero-Data Retention Guarantee

At ATS MatchProof, your privacy is our foundational architecture. We recognize that resumes contain sensitive personal identifiers, employment history, and contact details.

100% In-Memory Ephemeral Processing: Uploaded PDF files and pasted job descriptions are processed exclusively within volatile server memory (RAM) during analysis execution. No resume files, text snippets, or candidate data are ever written to disk, databases, or cloud storage buckets.

2. Information Collected & How It Is Used

When you use our free verification engine, the following data interactions occur:

  • Resume & Job Description Content: Used solely to benchmark keyword overlap, assess seniority gaps, and output tailoring suggestions via AI models. All inputs are immediately purged from RAM upon response rendering.
  • Third-Party AI Model Processing (Google Gemini & Groq): ATS MatchProof utilizes third-party AI APIs for real-time inference. While ATS MatchProof operates with zero persistent databases and immediately purges files from server memory, we transparently disclose that requests processed under Google Gemini's free developer tier are subject to Google's standard terms, under which free-tier inputs may be processed by Google to train and improve their machine learning technologies.
  • Technical Logs & Anti-Abuse Metrics: We collect temporary, obfuscated IP addresses strictly to enforce rate limits (requests per minute) and protect against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
  • Language Preference Cookie: A lightweight functional cookie (lang) is stored locally on your device to remember your preferred language selection (EN or PT).

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

To keep this career optimization service 100% free with zero paywalls, we serve contextual advertisements via Google AdSense.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this website.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or AboutAds.info.

4. GDPR, CCPA, & Global Privacy Rights

In accordance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • No account registration or personal identity submission is required to access our tools.
  • We do not sell, rent, trade, or distribute your personal data to recruiters, employers, or third-party brokers.
  • Because all resume data is discarded immediately after execution, no persistent user records exist to export or erase.

5. Security Measures

All transmissions are protected with end-to-end HTTPS (TLS encryption). We enforce strict security headers (X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN), strict file size limits (200KB max), and XML tag isolation to prevent adversarial prompt injection.

6. Automated Operation & Privacy Inquiries

As an automated, zero-account web utility with zero persistent database storage, no user data is retained after generation of your analysis. For architecture details, please consult our About Us page or the FAQ Section.
