Data Deletion & Your Rights

Last Updated: March 2026

In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and similar global regulations, you have the fundamental right to be forgotten. This means you can request the permanent and irreversible deletion of all your personal data stored on ResumeForgeAI.

Warning: Irreversible Action

When you request data deletion, the following data is permanently purged from our servers within 30 days of the request:

  • Auth Data: Your account, login details, email, and password hashes connected to our Supabase database.
  • Generated Documents: Every resume, cover letter, and associated drafts you created.
  • Activity History: Job applications tracked, mock test history, and job search interactions.
  • Portfolio: Your public or private web-portfolio page.

How to Request Deletion

Method 1: Immediate Self-Serve (Recommended)

If you have access to your account, you can initiate immediate data deletion straight from your dashboard settings.

  1. Log in to your ResumeForgeAI account.
  2. Navigate to the Account Settings page.
  3. Scroll to the "Danger Zone" block.
  4. Click "Delete Account & Data" and re-authenticate to confirm.

*Note: Self-serve deletion immediately cascades the deletion of connected data across our databases. Your active subscriptions via Stripe or Razorpay will also be formally canceled, though existing time left will not be refunded.

Method 2: Email Request

If you cannot access your account, you may submit a formal Data Deletion request by emailing our Data Protection Officer.

  • Send an email to privacy@resumeforgeai.in.
  • Subject line: "Request for Data Deletion - [Your Name]".
  • Include the exact email address associated with your account.
  • We may require additional identity verification before processing the request to protect users against malicious attacks.

Exceptions to Deletion

Please note that certain financial and transactional logs (e.g., invoices from Razorpay or Stripe) must be retained by law for taxation and fraud prevention purposes for a minimum period mandated by Indian, US, or European financial regulations.
