We're committed to protecting your data and respecting your privacy.
Last Updated: April 9, 2025
At ResumeParser API, we prioritize the security and privacy of your data. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our service. We designed our API with privacy at its core — parsed resume data is not stored on our servers after processing.
ResumeParser API ("we," "our," or "us") provides resume parsing services to businesses and developers. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use or interact with our services, including our website (resumeparserapi.com) and API services.
By using ResumeParser API, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
API Privacy: Our API service is designed with privacy as a priority. We do not collect or store personal information within API requests or responses. The API uses key-based authentication rather than personal credentials, and we do not track individual API usage beyond the metrics needed for billing and security purposes.

We automatically collect certain information when you use our services:

Note: Since we do not store resume data after processing, we do not use actual resume content to improve our algorithms. Service quality improvements are based on anonymous performance metrics and error rates, not on the content of processed resumes.

Our resume parsing service operates as follows:
Important: Resume data is processed transiently and is not stored on our servers after the parsing is complete. Once we return the structured data to you, the original resume and extracted information are purged from our systems. We operate on a "process and forget" model where data is only held in memory for the duration of the parsing operation.
We store your account information and API usage metrics for as long as you maintain an active account with us, and for a reasonable period thereafter for legal and accounting purposes.
We retain technical information such as API usage logs, performance metrics, and security events for up to 90 days to support service operations, security, and analytics.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:
We may engage trusted third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our service, provide the service on our behalf, or help us analyze how our service is used. These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated to not disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Our service providers include:
If ResumeParser API is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
We may disclose your information to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of ResumeParser API, our users, or the public.
The security of your data is important to us. We implement and maintain appropriate technical, physical, and administrative safeguards:
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
