AI Use Disclosure
AccuCV uses artificial intelligence to generate resume content. This page explains exactly what AI technology we use, what data is sent to it, and what that means for you.
1. What AI Technology We Use
Resume generation on AccuCV is powered by Claude, a large language model (LLM) developed by Anthropic, PBC (San Francisco, CA, USA). We access Claude via Anthropic's commercial API.
Claude reads the inputs you provide and produces text — in this case, tailored resume content — based on patterns learned during its training. It does not browse the internet, access external databases, or have access to your device.
2. What Data Is Sent to the AI
When you click "Generate Resume", the following data is transmitted to Anthropic's API:
- The job description you paste or provide;
- Your professional profile: name, title, contact information, work history, education, skills, projects, and certifications that you have entered into the form;
- Your selected resume template and section preferences;
- A system prompt authored by AccuCV that instructs Claude on formatting and tailoring rules.
What is not sent: payment information, your Clerk authentication tokens, or any data from other users' sessions. Your profile and resume data is transmitted to Anthropic only at the moment of generation — not at any other time.
3. How Anthropic Handles Your Data
Anthropic processes the data submitted via its commercial API under its Privacy Policy and API Terms of Service. Key points:
- Anthropic's commercial API customers' data is not used to train Claude models by default. Inputs and outputs are not retained by Anthropic beyond what is needed to fulfill the request, subject to any safety monitoring obligations.
- Anthropic may retain inputs for a limited period for trust and safety purposes (e.g., to detect abuse).
- Anthropic's servers are located primarily in the United States. By using AccuCV, you acknowledge that your data will be processed in the United States in accordance with Anthropic's policies.
4. What the AI Does and Does Not Do
Claude does:
- Rewrite and tailor your experience bullet points to align with the job description;
- Generate a professional summary relevant to the role;
- Highlight skills that match the job posting;
- Suggest an optimized resume title;
- Produce a job-match score and rationale.
Claude does not:
- Verify the accuracy of your provided information — it takes your inputs at face value;
- Guarantee employment outcomes or ATS rankings;
- Access the internet or external job boards;
- Make decisions about your application — it generates text for you to review and edit.
5. Your Responsibility to Review AI Output
AI-generated content can contain errors, hallucinations, or phrasing that does not accurately reflect your actual experience. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying all generated content before submitting a resume to any employer.
Do not submit a resume that contains inaccurate information. Misrepresenting your qualifications to a prospective employer may have legal and professional consequences that AccuCV cannot be held responsible for.
6. You Own the Output
The resume content generated by Claude using your personal data belongs to you. AccuCV does not claim any intellectual property rights over the generated output. We do not use your generated resumes to improve the service or share them with third parties. Generated resumes are stored on our servers, associated with your account, and can be deleted at any time from the Account & Data page.
7. Opting Out
AccuCV's core functionality depends on AI generation. If you do not wish your professional data to be sent to Anthropic's API, you should not use the resume generation feature. You may still access and export any data you have already stored locally by visiting the Account & Data page.
You may delete your account and all associated server-side data at any time from the Account & Data page.
