Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 31, 2025

Flashsy ("us", "we", or "our") operates the flashsy.online website (the "Service").

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information Collection And Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

  • Email address
  • First name and last name
  • Profile image (via Google authentication)
  • CV/Resume content and analysis data
  • Referral relationships and credit transactions
  • Cookies and Usage Data

Usage Data

We may also collect information how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

Device Fingerprinting and Anonymous Tracking

To provide our services to users before account creation and prevent abuse, we generate a unique device fingerprint based on your browser and device characteristics (screen resolution, browser version, installed fonts, etc.). This fingerprint allows us to:

  • Associate anonymous CV analyses with your account when you register
  • Prevent abuse of our free usage limits
  • Maintain continuity of your data across sessions

When you create an account, we automatically link any previous anonymous activity to your account. This fingerprint does not contain personally identifiable information but creates a persistent identifier for your device.

CV and Resume Data

We permanently store all CV/resume content you submit to our service to:

  • Maintain a history of your CV versions and analyses
  • Improve our analysis algorithms
  • Provide you with historical comparisons and improvements

We use content hashing to prevent duplicate storage of identical CVs. All CV data is associated with either your user account or device fingerprint.

Visitor and Referral Tracking

We track how visitors arrive at our site, including:

  • Referrer websites and domains
  • UTM campaign parameters (source, medium, campaign, etc.)
  • Page views, session duration, and user journey
  • Referral code usage and credit awards

This data helps us understand our marketing effectiveness and attribute referral rewards to users who share our service.

Cookies are files with small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. Tracking technologies also used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Service.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

Payments and Credits

Our Service operates on a credit-based system where you can purchase credits for CV analysis services. We use Stripe, a third-party payment processor, to handle all payment transactions.

We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to Stripe whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. Stripe adheres to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.

We store records of credit purchases, usage, and referral awards to maintain account balances and transaction history.
