CareerGPS v1.4Last updated: April 2026

01Who we are

CareerGPS is an AI-powered career intelligence platform built and operated by Vaelta. We help people understand where they stand in the job market, identify skill gaps, and generate personalized career roadmaps. By using CareerGPS at careergps-n9oz.vercel.app and any related services (collectively, the “Platform”), you agree to the practices described in this policy.

02Information you provide

When you use CareerGPS, you may provide:
  • Resume or CV content (text, work history, education, skills) uploaded or pasted into the Platform
  • Career goals, preferences, and questionnaire responses submitted during analysis
  • Age, hobbies, and extra skills or certifications you choose to share
  • Feedback or messages submitted through our feedback form (powered by Formspree)
  • Email address and account credentials (when user accounts are introduced in a future version)

We do not currently require a login or account to use CareerGPS. No name or email address is collected during a standard analysis session.

03Information collected automatically

When you use the Platform, we may automatically collect:
  • Usage data such as pages visited, features used, and time spent on the Platform
  • Browser type, device type, and operating system
  • IP address and approximate geographic location (country or region level)
  • Performance and error logs used to maintain Platform reliability

04How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:
  • Generate AI-powered career analyses, skill gap assessments, and career roadmaps based on your resume and stated goals
  • Improve the accuracy, relevance, and quality of our AI outputs over time using aggregated, anonymized data
  • Respond to feedback and support requests
  • Monitor Platform performance, diagnose technical issues, and ensure reliability
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising or marketing purposes beyond our own Platform communications.

05Third-party AI processing (Groq API)

CareerGPS uses the Groq API (operated by Groq, Inc.) to process resume content and generate AI career analyses. When you upload a resume or submit career information, that content is transmitted to Groq's servers for processing.

What Groq does with your data:

  • By default, Groq does not retain inference inputs (your resume content) after processing is complete
  • Groq may temporarily log inputs only in limited circumstances such as troubleshooting platform errors or investigating abuse, with logs retained for up to 30 days
  • Groq is contractually prohibited from using your data to train or fine-tune AI models without explicit permission
  • Groq processes data in the United States and potentially other jurisdictions

We recommend reviewing Groq's Privacy Policy at groq.com/privacy-policy for complete details. Vaelta is not responsible for Groq's independent data practices.

Your option: If you have concerns about AI data processing, you may use the Platform with a modified or anonymized version of your resume rather than your real document.

06Data storage and security

  • Platform data is stored in a cloud-hosted PostgreSQL database (Neon) located in the United States, encrypted in transit via TLS/SSL
  • We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse
  • No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security
  • We retain your data for as long as necessary to provide the service, or as required by law
  • You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 8)

07Cookies and tracking

CareerGPS does not currently use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels. We may use minimal session cookies to maintain Platform functionality. If you disable cookies, some features may not function correctly.

08Children's privacy

CareerGPS is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.

09Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction — request correction of inaccurate data
  • Deletion — request deletion of your personal information from our systems
  • Restriction — request that we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances
  • Portability — request a machine-readable copy of your data where technically feasible

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@vaelta.com. We will respond to verified requests within 30 days.

10Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this document and, where appropriate, notify users through the Platform. Continued use of CareerGPS after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
