1Who we are
Resukai (“the app”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is an iOS application published by Andrii Matiushev, publishing as “Zydeno” (“the developer”), the party responsible for this app. You can reach us any time at [email protected] or via zydeno.com.
Developer / data controller: Andrii Matiushev, independent developer publishing as “Zydeno” (Ukraine). For privacy questions, the fastest route is email. This policy applies to the Resukai app for iPhone and iPad and its bundled Home Screen / Lock Screen widgets and Siri Shortcuts.
2Scope of this policy
This policy explains how the Resukai iPhone & iPad app, its Home Screen / Lock Screen widgets, and its Siri Shortcuts / App Intents handle information. It does not cover Apple’s services (App Store / StoreKit purchasing, on-device intelligence, the system photo picker, the system share sheet, on-device speech recognition and text-to-speech), which are governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy; or the Apple App Store itself. It also does not cover what happens to a document after you choose to export or share it out of the app (see §9).
3What we do not collect
Because Resukai has no backend of its own and makes no network connections, the developer collects no personal data about you. Specifically, we do not:
- require or offer an account, login, email, or phone number;
- run any Resukai server that receives, logs, or stores your data — the app has no networking code at all;
- embed advertising, analytics, attribution, or crash-reporting SDKs;
- assign you an advertising identifier, device fingerprint, or tracking ID;
- track you across other apps or websites (so iOS App Tracking Transparency is not used);
- upload, read, or scan the résumé content, photos, or contact details you enter;
- receive your name, address, or payment details when you buy Resukai Premium — all payments are processed by Apple (see §10);
- sell, rent, or share your personal information with data brokers — there is nothing for us to sell.
This corresponds to a “Data Not Collected” App Privacy label on the App Store. The app ships with an Apple Privacy Manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) declaring NSPrivacyTracking = false, no tracking domains, and no collected data types. The only “required-reason” APIs it declares are routine on-device ones — reading app preferences (UserDefaults), file timestamps, and available disk space — none of which leave your device or identify you.
Resukai is actively developed. It offers an optional paid upgrade, Resukai Premium — processed entirely by Apple without giving us any personal data (§10). Beyond that, we don’t promise the app will stay ad-free or offline forever: a future version could add an optional account, cloud sync, advertising, or analytics, which can involve collecting or sharing some data. If we make such a change, we will revise this policy and the App Store privacy label, and (where the law requires it) ask for your consent, before the change takes effect. Everything below describes the app as it works today.
4Data stored on your device
Everything you create lives only on your device (using Apple’s on-device SwiftData store and standard app preferences). There is no developer cloud and no iCloud sync (§5), and none of it is sent to us. This includes:
- Résumés & CVs — your name, contact details (email, phone, location/address, website, and social or portfolio links), professional summary, work experience, education, skills, languages, certifications, projects, volunteering, interests, and any custom sections you add;
- An optional headshot photo you choose to add to a résumé;
- Cover letters you write or generate;
- Tailored copies created when you adapt a résumé to a specific job posting;
- Job application tracker entries — company, role, status, dates, the job posting URL, your notes, and any follow-up reminder you set;
- Résumé Strength scores and the results of on-device résumé checks and job-description matches;
- Saved interview-practice answers — the answers you type or speak and choose to save while practicing interview questions. Only this text is stored; the voice recording itself is temporary and is not kept (see §11);
- Settings — appearance, language, your chosen template, accent color, fonts, spacing, paper size, QR-code toggle, and similar preferences;
- a local “Premium is active” flag (see §10).
You stay in control: you can edit or delete any item in the app, export it (§18), and deleting the app removes its local copy from that device.
5Storage & device transfer (no iCloud sync)
Your data is stored only on your device. There is no iCloud sync and no developer cloud in this version — your career data is deliberately kept off the network. Moving to a new device is something you control:
- Encrypted device backup. If you back up your iPhone or iPad, your Resukai data is included in your standard encrypted device backup (iCloud Backup or a Finder/computer backup). Those backups are governed by your own Apple backup settings, not by us, and are not something the developer can access.
- Your own exports. In Settings you can use “Export all my data” to create a JSON file of your résumés, cover letters, and job tracker, and you can export or share any individual document (for example a PDF) through the standard iOS share sheet — save it to Files, AirDrop it, or email it to yourself, then re-create or import it on another device. The file is yours — handle it as you would any personal career record.
- No cross-device account. Because there is no sync service, your devices do not share data automatically, and there is nothing on our side to lose, leak, or hand over.
Resukai does not sync your documents through iCloud and does not advertise iCloud sync. If a future version adds optional iCloud sync, your documents would be stored in your own private iCloud account (governed by Apple), the developer still could not access them, and we would update this policy first.
6Sensitive information in a résumé
A résumé can contain information that some laws treat as sensitive or special-category personal data — for example a photograph (which may reveal racial or ethnic origin), or details you choose to include such as a disability, health status, religious or political affiliation, trade-union membership, sexual orientation, or nationality. Whether and what to include is entirely your choice.
Because this data never reaches us — it stays on your device (§5) — it is not collected, accessed, sold, or processed by the developer, in any country. We treat all of it as sensitive and never see it.
Once you export or share a résumé (for example, sending a PDF to an employer or job board), that copy is outside the app and outside our control. In some regions, including certain sensitive details on a résumé is discouraged or restricted. Resukai never requires any of it — include only what you’re comfortable sharing with the people you send your résumé to.
7On-device AI & writing tools
Resukai’s smart writing features — generating a professional summary, rewriting or strengthening a bullet point, drafting a cover letter, “Tailor to a job”, the quantifier coach, a LinkedIn headline/About, drafting an interview answer from your experience, and résumé translation — run on your device. Where your device and region support Apple’s on-device intelligence (Apple Intelligence / the system language model), those features use it locally; otherwise the app falls back to a built-in library of professionally written phrases included in the app.
Processing happens locally. Your résumé text is not sent to the developer, and the app does not use any external or third-party cloud AI service and does not transmit your content to one. AI-generated text is a starting point — review and edit it for accuracy before you use it (see the Terms of Use, §6).
8Photos
Adding a headshot to a résumé is optional. When you tap to add one, Resukai uses Apple’s system photo picker. The picker runs outside the app: you choose a single image, and only that image is handed to Resukai — the app does not get access to your photo library and does not need the “Photos” permission. The image you pick is downscaled and stored locally with your résumé, and is never uploaded to us. If you use “Remove background,” that is processed on your device. You can remove the photo from your résumé at any time.
9Data sent to third parties
In normal use, Resukai sends nothing to anyone. The app has no analytics, no ads, and no networking of its own — it does not phone home, and there is no third-party SDK collecting data in the background.
Data only ever leaves the app when you deliberately send it out, using a standard Apple mechanism:
| When this happens | What is sent | To whom |
|---|---|---|
| You export or share a document (PDF, ATS-text, RTF, DOCX) via the iOS share sheet, Mail, Messages, Files, AirDrop, or Print | The document you chose to share | Only the destination you pick (e.g. an email app, an employer, a job board) — not the developer |
| You make a purchase or restore Premium | A purchase request | Apple (App Store / StoreKit) — see §10 |
After a document leaves Resukai, it is handled by whatever app or service you sent it to, under that party’s own terms and privacy policy. We are not a party to that and have no visibility into it.
10Purchases & subscriptions (Resukai Premium)
Resukai is free to download and includes a genuinely useful free tier. An optional paid upgrade, Resukai Premium, is offered as an auto-renewing weekly or yearly subscription (each starting with a 3-day free trial), or a one-time “Lifetime” purchase. Premium changes nothing about the app’s zero-collection design:
- Apple processes the payment. Purchases are made through your Apple Account under Apple’s Media Services Terms & Conditions. We never receive your name, email, billing address, or payment-card details. Apple’s handling of this data is described in Apple’s Privacy Policy.
- The app only verifies your entitlement. Using Apple’s on-device StoreKit framework, the app receives a signed, pseudonymous transaction record (the product purchased, a transaction identifier, purchase/expiry dates, and trial/refund status) that contains no contact or payment information. It is used solely to unlock Premium features and show your plan in Settings, and it is processed and stored on your device (and cached locally so the app and its widget can read it) — we run no server it could be sent to.
- “Restore Purchases” simply asks the App Store (Apple) to re-check your entitlement for your Apple Account on the current device.
- Sales reports are aggregate. Apple provides developers with sales statistics that do not identify individual customers.
You can manage or cancel the subscription in your App Store account settings; refunds are requested from Apple. Full billing, renewal, trial, and cancellation terms are in the Terms of Use (§13).
11Device permissions we may request
iOS will ask your permission before the app can use any of the following. Each is optional, used only for the stated purpose, and can be changed at any time in iOS Settings → Resukai.
| Permission | Why Resukai asks | What leaves the device |
|---|---|---|
| Notifications | To remind you to follow up on a tracked job application, at the time you choose | Nothing — reminders are scheduled and fire entirely on-device (see §14) |
| Photos (system picker) | To let you add an optional headshot to a résumé | Nothing — you pick one image via Apple’s out-of-process picker; the app never gets your library and the image is stored locally (§8) |
| Microphone | Only so you can practice interview answers out loud in the Practice tab. Used solely while you are recording an answer | Nothing — the recording is written to a temporary file on your device, used to transcribe and replay your answer, and overwritten on your next take (see below) |
| Speech Recognition | To transcribe your spoken practice answer into text so the app can give you instant feedback (pace, length, filler words) | Nothing — transcription runs with Apple’s on-device speech recognition (requiresOnDeviceRecognition). Your audio is never sent to a server; if your device/language can’t transcribe locally, the feature is unavailable and you can type instead |
| Siri & Shortcuts | To run quick actions like “New résumé,” “Check my résumé,” or “Tailor to copied job” | Nothing leaves the app; the “Tailor to copied job” action reads your clipboard only when you run it, and only on-device (§13) |
When you practice an answer out loud, Resukai records it to a single temporary file in the app’s temporary storage. That file is used only to (a) transcribe your words with Apple’s on-device speech recognition and (b) let you replay your answer; it is overwritten each time you record again and cleared by the system — it is never uploaded and never saved to your library. Only the text answer you explicitly tap “Save” on is kept, on your device (§4). The system also reads questions aloud using on-device text-to-speech. None of this leaves your device.
Resukai does not request access to your camera, location, contacts, calendars, health, or motion data. It uses the microphone only for voice interview practice you start yourself, and only on-device.
12On-device processing
All of Resukai’s “intelligence” runs locally on your device. Nothing below is uploaded anywhere:
- The Resume Checker & Strength score — a 0–100 score, category breakdown, and prioritized, tap-to-fix suggestions, computed from your résumé using on-device heuristics;
- Job-description match — when you paste a job posting, the keyword match and “missing keywords” are calculated on-device;
- “Tailor to a job” — rewriting your summary and strengthening bullets to fit a posting, saved as a separate copy;
- Résumé translation and the AI writing tools (§7);
- Voice interview practice — recording an answer, transcribing it with Apple’s on-device speech recognition, reading questions aloud (on-device text-to-speech), and computing the speaking feedback (word count, pace, filler words, whether you cited a result) — all on your device, with the audio never leaving it (§11);
- Import — reading an existing résumé from a PDF, Word document, LinkedIn export, or pasted text and parsing it into sections, all on-device;
- Exports — PDF, ATS-safe text, RTF, and DOCX files, generated on-device for you to share via the standard iOS share sheet at your discretion.
13Widgets, App Group & Siri Shortcuts
The Home Screen / Lock Screen widgets display a small on-device snapshot — your top résumé’s Strength score, and a job-pipeline count (applied / interviewing / offers). The app saves that snapshot into a private App Group container (group.com.zydeno.resukai) shared only between Resukai and its own widget on your device; none of it is sent to us.
The bundled Siri Shortcuts / App Intents (“New résumé,” “Check my résumé,” “Tailor résumé to copied job”) simply open the app and start the matching action. The “Tailor to copied job” shortcut reads text from your clipboard only when you run it, uses it on-device to tailor your résumé, and does not transmit it anywhere.
14Notifications
Resukai uses only local notifications scheduled on your device — there is no push server and no remote-push token. Follow-up reminders for tracked job applications are computed and scheduled on-device from data you already entered, fire even offline, and their content never leaves your device. Permission is requested the first time you enable a reminder; if you decline, the feature simply does nothing.
15International data transfers
Because the developer collects no personal data and the app makes no network connections of its own, there is no transfer of your data by us, across borders or otherwise. If you choose to export or share a document, or to buy Premium, that interaction is handled by the destination you pick or by Apple, under their own terms and safeguards. Your Apple Account purchase records, and any encrypted device backup you choose to keep, are handled by Apple under Apple’s terms.
16Legal bases for processing (GDPR / UK GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and similar jurisdictions: because the developer does not collect or receive your personal data, our own processing is minimal. Where any limited processing is relevant, it relies on these bases —
- Consent — for optional device permissions (notifications, the photo picker), which you grant via the iOS prompt and can withdraw at any time in iOS Settings;
- Performance of a contract — to verify your App Store purchase on-device and unlock Resukai Premium, using only the pseudonymous transaction record described in §10;
- Legitimate interests — to provide the core on-device features you ask for, in a data-minimizing, identifier-free way.
Any sensitive or special-category data that may appear in a résumé (§6) is processed only on your device, under your sole control; the developer does not receive or process it. Where any on-device handling could be considered processing, it occurs solely on your explicit choice and for the in-app features you decide to use.
Wherever you live, the position is the same: because the developer collects no personal data in any country, the app meets the data-minimization requirements of comparable privacy laws worldwide in the same way.
17Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object or withdraw consent (GDPR / UK GDPR), or to know, delete, correct, and opt out of “sale”/“sharing” (CCPA/CPRA and similar US state laws). The same applies under comparable privacy laws worldwide — for example Brazil’s LGPD, Canada’s PIPEDA and Québec’s Law 25, the Australian Privacy Act, Japan’s APPI, South Korea’s PIPA, India’s DPDP Act, Switzerland’s FADP, and others.
Because all your Resukai data is held only on your device — and we hold nothing about you — you can exercise these rights yourself directly: view and edit any résumé, cover letter, or tracker entry; delete any item; export your data (§5); or remove everything by deleting the app. We have no copy to access, export, or erase on our side. If you have questions or believe we can help, contact [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
“Sale” / “sharing” of personal information: The current version does not sell or share your personal information, and we have not done so in the preceding 12 months. We don’t promise this will never change — see §3 regarding possible future versions, which would be disclosed here first.
18Data retention & deletion
We retain nothing, because we receive nothing. Data you create is kept on your device until you delete it. To erase everything:
- delete individual résumés, letters, or tracker entries in the app;
- remove the photo or any field from a résumé;
- remove Resukai from your iPhone or iPad — this deletes its local store on that device;
- if you keep encrypted device backups, a copy may remain in them until those backups rotate — that is governed by your own Apple backup settings, not by us.
If you purchased Resukai Premium, the record of that purchase belongs to your Apple Account and is created and retained by Apple under Apple’s own privacy policy (that is also what lets you restore purchases after reinstalling). The app itself keeps only a local “Premium is active” flag, which is deleted with the app.
19Security
Your data benefits from iOS’s built-in app sandboxing and device encryption, and can be further protected with your device passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID at the system level. Because the app stores data only locally and transmits nothing of its own, the most important safeguard is structural: there is no server to breach and no data in transit to intercept. No method of storage is 100% secure, but keeping your career data on your own device — and never attaching an identity to anything — is our primary protection. Keep your device updated and protected with a passcode.
20Children's privacy
Resukai is a general-audience tool for people preparing résumés and seeking employment, and is not directed to children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13 (or the higher minimum age in your country, e.g. 16 in parts of the EEA) — and, because the app collects no personal data at all, it does not knowingly collect data from children. A parent or guardian may set up and supervise use for a minor (for example a teenager preparing a first résumé). If you believe a child has provided personal information in a way that concerns you, contact us — though, as noted, we hold no such data.
21Do-Not-Track & no sale of data
The current version of Resukai does not track users and therefore has nothing to disable in response to a browser/OS “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signal, and it does not sell or share personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If a future version introduces advertising or analytics, we will honor applicable opt-out signals and update this policy first (see §3).
22No employment or ATS guarantee
Resukai is a self-service writing and formatting tool. The Resume Strength score and the résumé / applicant-tracking-system (“ATS”) checks are heuristic guidance based on common résumé best practices — not a guarantee of interviews, job offers, employment, or that any particular employer or ATS will parse or favor your résumé. The full disclaimer is in the Terms of Use (§5).
23Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the app or the law. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top and, for material changes, highlight them in the app or on this page. Your continued use of Resukai after an update means you accept the revised policy.
