International Data Processing
Certain third-party service providers used by UCBuddy, including cloud infrastructure, analytics, authentication, and AI service providers, may process or store information on servers located outside of Vietnam.
As a result, personal information is transferred to, processed, and stored in jurisdictions that may provide different levels of data protection than those available under the laws of your country of residence.
UCBuddy takes reasonable measures to help ensure that international data transfers are conducted with appropriate safeguards designed to protect personal information and maintain a level of protection consistent with applicable privacy and data protection laws.
AI Processing
To provide AI-powered features, certain CV content, resume information, uploaded documents, and user prompts will be transmitted to third-party AI service providers for processing and response generation.
AI technologies are used to assist with resume generation, resume optimization, career guidance, content recommendations, compatibility scoring, and job matching functionalities.
Users are informed that recommendations, scores, suggestions, and other outputs generated through these features may be produced wholly or partially by artificial intelligence systems.
AI-generated outputs are intended solely to support user decision-making and should not be considered final employment, recruitment, hiring, admission, legal, financial, or career decisions.
While we strive to improve the quality and accuracy of AI-generated outputs, such outputs may contain inaccuracies, omissions, outdated information, or recommendations that may not be suitable for every individual situation. Users should independently review and verify AI-generated content before relying on it.
UCBuddy maintains appropriate human oversight over the design, operation, and monitoring of its AI-powered services. AI-generated outputs are intended to support users and remain subject to human review and judgment.
UCBuddy does not use AI systems to make fully autonomous employment, hiring, admission, legal, or financial decisions on behalf of users.
Where AI-generated recommendations may relate to career opportunities or employment-related suggestions, such recommendations are intended to support human judgment and are not used as the sole basis for decision-making.
Data Retention
We retain user information for as long as necessary to provide UCBuddy services, including account management, CV generation, AI assistance, and resume storage.
Certain information may be retained where required by law or for security, fraud prevention, and troubleshooting purposes.

Users can delete their account and all associated personal data directly within the UCBuddy app settings. Upon receiving a verified request, we will delete or anonymize personal information unless retention is required by law, security obligations, or legitimate business purposes.
Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect user information against unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.
While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
