CV Upload & AI Data-Handling Information
Last updated: October 2026
This page explains what happens when you upload or paste a CV for the free Career Brand Score.
What we collect
The text of the CV you upload or paste, plus your first name and email if you request the full report.
Why we collect it
To generate your Career Brand Score and, if you request it, email your detailed report and action plan.
Is AI used?
Yes. Your CV text is analysed using AI-supported tools to produce the assessment. AI supports the process; George reviews and shapes recommendations for paid work. You remain the source of truth about your experience.
Are files retained?
Yes. If you upload a CV document (PDF, DOCX or TXT), the original file is securely retained and linked to your assessment. It is held in private, access-controlled storage and is accessible only to George Barrett (the site owner) through an authenticated admin area. It is never shared publicly, attached to automated emails, or exported to spreadsheets — those contain only a reference to your assessment. If you paste your CV as text instead of uploading a file, no document is stored — only your assessment results. Assessment results are stored so we can send your report.
How long is information kept?
We keep scores, reports and enquiry details only for as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legal obligations, after which they are securely deleted. You can request earlier deletion at any time.
Requesting deletion
Email hello@barrettcareerbrand.com.au to request deletion of your information — including your uploaded CV document — at any time. We will confirm once it has been removed.
Sharing with providers
We use third-party providers for AI analysis, email delivery and website hosting. We do not sell your information.
