Shopify and certain advertising or marketing partners may process information relating to your interactions with our store and other websites.

17. Our Relationship With Shopify

The online store and Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify as well as third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services for you. In addition, to help protect, grow, and improve our business, we use certain Shopify enhanced features that incorporate data and information obtained from your interactions with our Store, along with other merchants and with Shopify. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may make use of personal information collected about your interactions with our store, along with other merchants, and with Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including for responding to your requests to exercise your rights over use of your personal information for these purposes. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information and any rights you may have, you can visit the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy . Depending on where you live, you may exercise certain rights with respect to your personal information here Shopify Privacy Portal Link.

Third Party Websites and Links

The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites not affiliated or controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these sites. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, including information you share on third-party social networking platforms may also be viewable by other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitation as to its use by us or by a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators, except as disclosed on the Services.

18. Business and Marketing Partners

Where permitted by law, we may share limited information with business or marketing partners who help us:

  • Operate our website;
  • Analyse website performance;
  • Measure advertising;
  • Conduct marketing;
  • Improve our Services; or
  • Provide functionality requested by customers.

These organisations may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies where they act independently.


19. Legal Disclosure

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law;
  • Comply with a court order;
  • Respond to a lawful request from law enforcement;
  • Respond to a regulator;
  • Protect our legal rights;
  • Prevent fraud;
  • Protect customers or other persons;
  • Enforce our Terms & Conditions; or
  • Establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

We will not disclose personal information to authorities without a lawful reason to do so.


20. Business Transfers

If The Career Library or the business operating it is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets or similar business transaction, personal information may be transferred where reasonably necessary as part of that transaction.

Any such processing will remain subject to applicable data-protection law.

CV and Cover-Letter Information

21. How We Treat Career Information

Information submitted for CV and cover-letter writing services is treated as confidential customer information.

We use this information primarily for the purpose of completing the service purchased.

We do not make customer career information publicly available.

Access should be limited to persons and service providers who reasonably require access for the purpose of completing, delivering or supporting the customer’s order.


22. Deletion of CVs and Working Documents

We do not intend to retain customer CVs, uploaded career documents or working copies indefinitely.

Once:

  • The order has been completed;
  • Requested revisions have been completed;
  • Any reasonable customer-service period has ended; and
  • The information is no longer required for an active complaint, dispute, legal requirement or other lawful reason,

we may securely delete or destroy working copies of CVs, cover letters and career information in accordance with our retention procedures.

Customers should therefore retain their own copies of completed documents.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide replacement copies after information has been deleted.


23. Order Records We May Retain

Deleting working CV information does not necessarily require us to delete every record associated with the transaction.

We may retain limited records including:

  • Customer name;
  • Email address;
  • Order number;
  • Product or service purchased;
  • Purchase date;
  • Amount paid;
  • Invoice information;
  • Payment transaction references;
  • Customer-support correspondence; and
  • Records required for tax, accounting, fraud-prevention or legal purposes.

Such records will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Retention of Your Information and Security

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide you with Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.

24. How Long We Keep Personal Information

We do not intend to keep personal information for longer than reasonably necessary.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.

Factors we consider include:

  • Why the information was collected;
  • Whether the service has been completed;
  • Whether revisions remain outstanding;
  • Whether a customer account remains active;
  • Legal and accounting requirements;
  • Tax obligations;
  • Fraud-prevention requirements;
  • Whether a dispute is ongoing; and
  • Applicable limitation periods.

We may periodically review information and delete or anonymise information that is no longer required.

25. Protecting Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information from:

  • Unauthorised access;
  • Accidental loss;
  • Destruction;
  • Disclosure;
  • Alteration; and
  • Misuse.

Measures may include, where appropriate:

  • Password-protected systems;
  • Access controls;
  • Secure ecommerce infrastructure;
  • Secure payment processors;
  • Account authentication;
  • Restricted access to customer documents;
  • Appropriate cloud-service security; and
  • Deletion procedures for customer career documents.

No internet-based system or method of electronic transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Customers should avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential information through insecure communication channels.


26. Data Breaches

If a personal-data breach occurs, we will assess the incident and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable data-protection law.

Where legally required, this may include notifying:

  • The Information Commissioner’s Office; and/or
  • Individuals affected by the breach.

International Transfers

Please note that we may transfer, store and process your personal information outside the country you live in.

If we transfer your personal information out of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we will rely on recognized transfer mechanisms like the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant competent authority of the UK, as relevant, unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined to provide an adequate level of protection.

27. Information Processed Outside the United Kingdom

Some technology providers we use, including Shopify, cloud providers, payment processors and other software providers, may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate transfer mechanism recognised under UK data-protection law is used where required.

This may include:

  • UK adequacy regulations;
  • Approved contractual safeguards;
  • The UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
  • The UK Addendum to recognised contractual clauses; or
  • Other lawful transfer mechanisms.

Technology-Assisted Services

28. Use of Artificial Intelligence

The Career Library may use artificial intelligence-assisted tools as part of providing certain professional writing services.

These tools may assist with tasks such as:

  • Drafting or improving wording;
  • Structuring career information;
  • Tailoring documents towards roles or industries;
  • Improving grammar, spelling and readability;
  • Identifying relevant skills or keywords;
  • Improving professional presentation;
  • Reviewing written content; and
  • Supporting quality assurance.

Where AI-assisted tools are used, we aim to provide only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant task and to minimise the amount of personal information processed.

We do not intentionally provide unnecessary sensitive personal information to AI providers.

Customers are therefore asked not to submit sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for their service.

AI-assisted output may be reviewed, amended and refined before completed work is delivered.

The use of AI does not remove The Career Library’s responsibility for providing the professional writing service purchased by the customer.

Depending on the technology used, limited customer information may be processed by third-party AI technology providers.

Where third-party AI providers process personal information on our behalf, we aim to use providers with appropriate privacy, security and data-protection safeguards and to limit the information provided to what is reasonably necessary.

We do not sell customer personal information to AI providers.

We do not intentionally use customer CVs, employment histories, qualifications or career information submitted for our professional writing services for the purpose of developing or training our own public artificial-intelligence models.

Personal information processed using AI-assisted tools remains subject to the protections, retention practices and customer rights described in this Privacy Policy.

29. Automated Decision-Making

The Career Library may use technology-assisted tools to support the preparation and review of career documents.

However, we do not use automated systems to make legally significant or similarly significant decisions about customers solely through automated processing.

Technology-assisted tools may support our writing process, but they do not determine whether a customer:

  • Receives employment;
  • Receives an interview;
  • Receives a promotion;
  • Receives an employment offer; or
  • Achieves any other career outcome.

If our use of automated decision-making changes materially, this Privacy Policy will be updated where appropriate.
