1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

TalentSync is designed as a client-side, privacy-first tool. Resume text and job description text that you paste or upload into the tool are processed entirely within your browser. This text is never transmitted to our servers, stored in any database, or retained after your browser session ends.

If you contact us through our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message content you provide in order to respond to your inquiry.

• IP address (anonymized where required by law)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URL and pages visited

• General geographic location (country or city level)

This data is collected through web analytics services (such as Google Analytics) and is used solely to understand how our site is used and to improve the user experience.

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to function correctly.
