Privacy policy
Last updated 13 September 2026. Merit is operated from a Hetzner server we rent. This is the store and product privacy notice.
What we collect
Account identifiers from the sign-in method you choose: Apple, Google, GitHub, or phone number. Interview messages you type. Files you upload (PDF, Word, or text). Evidence you confirm in the vault. A session cookie so you stay signed in.
What we do not collect
No microphone. No speech-to-text. No contacts. No location. No advertising ID beyond what Apple or Google attach to their own sign-in.
Where it lives
Your vault is a private SQLite file on our Hetzner disk, isolated from other accounts. Interview text may be sent to the language-model provider we have configured (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek) so the interviewer can ask a follow-up. We do not sell your data. We do not use it to train a public model of our own.
How long we keep it
Until you delete the account. Deleting signs you out, revokes sessions, and removes your tenant directory.
Your rights
You can export a CV you confirmed, and you can delete the account from the signed-in app. Questions: hello@meritcv.com.
