Data retention

Tailored CVs and job records are kept while your account is active and for 30 days after deletion, then purged. Raw uploaded CV files are processed in-memory and not stored on our servers beyond the duration of the request. Server logs are retained for up to 30 days for debugging and abuse prevention.

Right to erasure

You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time. Email privacy@sausagedog.app or use the in-app delete option in your account settings. We action requests within 30 days.

Data export

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (saved CVs, jobs, account details) in a machine-readable format. Email privacy@sausagedog.app and we will respond within 30 days.

Storage

Your saved jobs, uploaded CV, and preferences are stored in your browser's localStorage. Clearing your browser data removes them. If you sign in on a different device, they will not follow you. Authentication tokens and premium status are stored as signed HTTP-only cookies.

Your rights (UK GDPR)

• Right to access, correct, or delete your personal data.
• Right to object to processing or withdraw consent.
• Right to complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk).
