Local-First Core Builder
The current core builder uses browser-managed storage and browser-based PDF and DOCX export. This policy explains how the site handles technical data and services.
Our Local-First Approach
The current core resume builder is designed around a local-first architecture. Resume creation, editing, preview, and PDF and DOCX export run in your browser rather than requiring a cloud document account.
You can create, edit, preview, and export resumes without creating an account or providing your personal information to CareerContainer for an account profile. This Privacy Policy explains how CareerContainer handles data and how our local-first architecture shapes the current core workflow.
No Account Required
You can use CareerContainer's core resume-building features without signing up, creating an account, or providing an email address. The current core builder does not maintain user accounts, user profiles, or cloud resume records.
Because CareerContainer does not require an account for the current core experience, your resume information is not associated with a cloud account.
Local Browser Storage
When you create or edit a resume, CareerContainer stores your resume data locally in your web browser, primarily using IndexedDB. This information is managed by your browser and device. CareerContainer does not offer cloud resume storage for the current core builder.
Your local browser storage is controlled by your browser and operating system. Local resume data may be removed if you:
- Manually clear your browser history, cache, cookies, or site data.
- Reset or remove data for the CareerContainer website.
- Use private or incognito browsing modes that remove local storage when the session ends.
- Use browser, disk-cleaning, or device-maintenance software that removes website data.
- Uninstall or reset a browser or device in a way that removes its local website storage.
Because local storage is managed by your device and browser, CareerContainer cannot recover resume data that has been permanently deleted from your device.
Browser-Based PDF and DOCX Export
CareerContainer is designed to generate resume PDF and DOCX files directly in your browser. Your resume content is rendered locally by your browser, and the resulting files are generated and downloaded to your device.
The current PDF and DOCX export flows are designed not to require a remote document-processing service.
Information We Do Not Collect
CareerContainer is designed so that we do not need to collect or store the personal information contained within your resumes. We do not intentionally collect, read, analyze, or store the content of your resumes, including information such as:
- Your name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Home address
- Employment history
- Education history
- Skills
- Professional summary
- Job titles
- Other information you enter into your resume
For the core builder, resume content remains within the local browser environment used to operate the application.
Analytics and Usage Data
When enabled, CareerContainer uses Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand public-site usage and improve reliability and performance. These services may collect limited technical or usage information, such as:
- Page visits
- Basic interaction events
- Browser or device information
- Approximate usage patterns
- Performance information
- Error or diagnostic information
Analytics are not designed to include resume field text, cover letter text, or document bodies. Google Analytics routes exclude query strings, hashes, and local resume or cover-letter identifiers; the current event definitions exclude document content. Microsoft Clarity is not initialized on the workspace or print routes, stops before navigation into those routes, and their content containers are explicitly masked.
Google signals and ad-personalization signals are disabled in the current configuration. Microsoft Clarity is configured without analytics or advertising storage consent until a jurisdiction-specific consent flow is approved. These providers may still process information under their own policies. If the analytics configuration or providers used by CareerContainer change, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.
Advertising
If advertising is enabled, CareerContainer may display advertisements to help support the free availability of the core service. Advertising providers may collect information about your interaction with advertisements or the website in accordance with their own privacy policies.
The current core builder is not designed to provide resume content to advertising providers or use resume content for advertising targeting.
Third-party advertising providers may nevertheless collect standard web information through their own scripts, cookies, or similar technologies. Their handling of such information is governed by their respective privacy policies.
Your Resume Data and Your Control
You retain ownership and control over the resume content you create using CareerContainer. Because your resume data is stored locally, you can:
- Create and edit: Modify your resume content at any time.
- Export: Download your resume as PDF or DOCX.
- Delete: Remove locally stored resumes through the application's local-data controls or your browser's site-data settings.
CareerContainer does not need access to your resume content in order for you to exercise these controls.
Deleting Your Local Data
You can delete your locally stored CareerContainer resumes through the application's Clear Local Data functionality, where available. You can also remove CareerContainer's stored data through your browser's website-data settings.
Once local data has been deleted from your device, CareerContainer generally cannot recover it because the current core builder does not maintain a cloud copy of your resume content.
Consider saving a PDF or DOCX copy before deleting local data or resetting your browser.
Third-Party Services
CareerContainer may rely on third-party services for certain website functions, such as hosting, analytics if configured, advertising if enabled, security, performance monitoring, or other infrastructure. These services may process limited technical information necessary to provide their respective services.
Third-party providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. The current core builder is designed to use third-party services for site operations, not as part of normal resume editing or PDF and DOCX export. Any feature that requires other processing will describe it when it is offered.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect CareerContainer and the information associated with the service. However, no website, browser, device, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Because your resume content is primarily stored locally on your device, the security of that data also depends on the security of your device, browser, operating system, and any third-party services you choose to use.
We recommend keeping your device and browser updated and using appropriate device security measures.
Children's Privacy
CareerContainer is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the core resume builder does not require an account or submission of resume content to our servers, CareerContainer is not designed around collecting children's personal information.
If you believe that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to CareerContainer, our services, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices. When we make changes, we will update the Last updated date at the top of this page.
If a significant change affects how we handle personal information or resume content, we will provide appropriate notice where required.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or CareerContainer's privacy practices, please contact us through the contact method provided on the CareerContainer website. We will make reasonable efforts to review and respond to privacy-related inquiries.
