Last Updated: October 11, 2026 | Effective: Upon User Acceptance at Sign-In / Registration
IMPORTANT NOTICE: By ticking the acceptance checkbox, clicking "Sign In", "Create Account", "Continue with Google", or otherwise using the LatexCV application (the "Service"), you agree to be legally bound by these Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not sign in or use the Service.
1. Eligibility & Global Age of Majority Requirement
You may only use LatexCV if you have reached the legal age of majority in your country, state, or province of residence (18 years of age in the UK, EU, USA, and most jurisdictions worldwide, or such higher age required by your local law to form a binding contract). LatexCV is strictly not intended for or permitted to be used by minors or children under 18 (under UK GDPR, EU GDPR, COPPA, or equivalent global laws).
2. Our Core Data Promise: We NEVER Sell Your Data
We do NOT sell, rent, lease, trade, broker, or monetize your personal data, Master CV, contact details, job descriptions, or API keys to any third party, data broker, recruiter, or advertiser under any circumstances. We do not use your CV data for targeted advertising or to train proprietary foundation AI models. Your data is processed solely to provide the features you explicitly trigger within the app.
3. Data Architecture, Storage & Third-Party Infrastructure
To operate globally, LatexCV uses industry-standard infrastructure and sub-processors. By using the Service, you consent to data processing across:
- Browser Local Storage (
localStorage): Caches your active session, Master CV text, custom prompt instructions, section/theme settings, and API configurations locally on your device.
- Google Firebase (Authentication & Cloud Firestore): Provided by Google LLC. When you sign in, Firebase processes your email and
UID, and Cloud Firestore stores your synced Master CV (up to 20,000 characters), custom prompt rules, CV section/theme settings, configured API keys, daily free quota usage counter, and account deletion scheduling timestamps, governed by Firebase Privacy Terms and the Google Privacy Policy.
- Google Cloud Platform (Google AI Studio / Cloud Run), Vercel Inc. & Netlify Inc.: Host the web frontend (
https://latexcv.ai.studio and https://latexcv-seven.vercel.app) and execute stateless serverless routing functions in accordance with the Google Cloud Privacy Notice, Vercel's Privacy Policy, and Netlify's Privacy Policy.
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) — Stateless Tectonic PDF Compiler: When you compile a PDF, your LaTeX code is sent to our stateless Tectonic microservice on Oracle Cloud, compiled in an isolated temporary file for a few seconds to return your PDF binary, and immediately and permanently deleted upon completion. Zero CVs or PDFs are archived on the compilation server.
4. AI Services: Default Free AI vs. User-Provided APIs (BYOK)
4.1 Default Free AI ("Free LatexCV AI (powered by google)"): Verified users receive a complimentary daily quota (currently 3 uses/day) powered by the Google Gemini API. Use of this feature is strictly governed by the Google APIs Terms of Service, Google Generative AI Additional Terms, Prohibited Use Policy, and Google Privacy Policy. Under Google's standard unpaid/free Gemini tier, prompts and outputs may be processed by Google for abuse monitoring and service improvement—do not submit sensitive government IDs, banking details, medical data, or classified secrets. We may modify, rate-limit, or discontinue the free quota at any time without liability.
4.2 User-Provided Third-Party APIs ("Bring Your Own Key"): If you add your own API keys (e.g., Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Logfare, OpenAI, or custom endpoints), you are 100% solely responsible for your API keys, authorization, security, token billing/charges, rate limits, and compliance with that provider's terms and privacy policy. LatexCV accepts zero liability for third-party API costs or data handling.
5. Account Security, Anti-Abuse & 48-Hour Deletion Cooling Period
Creating multiple accounts, using disposable emails, or attempting to bypass daily free quotas is strictly prohibited. You may request permanent deletion of your account at any time via Delete Account in your Profile. To prevent quota abuse (deleting and immediately re-registering an account to reset daily free AI limits), account deletion requests are subject to a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period under our legitimate anti-fraud interests (UK/EU GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) & Art. 17(3)). During this 48-hour window, the account is immediately locked and signed out, after which your Firestore data and Firebase Auth record are permanently erased.
6. AI Output Disclaimer, Accuracy & No Employment Guarantee
AI models can hallucinate facts, misformat LaTeX, or misinterpret dates and roles. You are solely and exclusively responsible for reviewing, proofreading, and verifying the truthfulness and accuracy of every detail in your generated CV before submitting it to any employer or third party. LatexCV is a typesetting/drafting utility, not a recruitment agency, and makes zero guarantee of ATS pass rates, job interviews, or employment outcomes.
7. Intellectual Property & Global Privacy Rights
You retain full ownership of your Master CV, job descriptions, and generated CVs, granting LatexCV only a limited transient license to process them through our infrastructure to deliver the Service. Under UK GDPR, EU GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and applicable global privacy laws, you may access, edit, export, or delete your personal data at any time through your account profile. By using the Service, you consent to international data transfers across our cloud infrastructure (UK, EU, US, and global edge regions).
8. Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability & Indemnity
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LATEXCV AND ITS CREATOR(S) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, OR THIRD-PARTY API CHARGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS ($0.00 / £0.00 FOR FREE USERS) OR £1.00 GBP. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LatexCV and its operator from any claims arising from your breach of these Terms, misuse of third-party APIs, or inaccurate CV submissions.
9. Governing Law, Severability & Contact
Unless otherwise mandated by compulsory consumer laws of your residence, these Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales (United Kingdom). If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. Contact for legal/privacy inquiries: lat3x.cv@gmail.com.
