What happens to my CV and data?
Your main CV stays in your browser. Your account keeps your conversations, experiments and job record, and you can export or delete all of it.
The short answer
In OffLadder CV, your main CV and saved form answers are kept in your browser, not in your account. Its text passes through our server and an AI provider only when you add it, tailor or draft answers. Your OffLadder account keeps your conversations, experiments and, signed in, your job record. We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers, and you can export or delete everything from Settings.
Key takeaways
- Your main CV and saved form answers live in your browser, not your account.
- Checking a job compares it with your CV inside your browser; nothing about you is sent.
- Tailoring and drafting send your CV details and the post to an AI provider to write the result.
- We don't sell your data, share it with advertisers or use it to train our own models.
- Export or delete everything from Settings; deleting your account removes it straight away.

Questions people ask
- Is my CV used to train AI?
- We don't use your data to train our own models, and we ask the AI providers we route through not to train on it. Those providers process it under their own terms to produce your result.
- Can I delete my data?
- Yes. Delete your account in Settings and it, and everything attached to it, is removed straight away. Delete your CV from the extension panel to remove it from that browser. You can also ask at hello@offladder.com, and we'll do it within 30 days.
- Does the extension read every page I visit?
- No. It reads only the tab you're on, and only while the panel is open. Showing a non-job page to Laddie happens only when you press to send it, and is never offered on mail, banking, sign-in or checkout pages.
- Does the employer see anything from OffLadder?
- Only what you put in their form. Once text is in a form it's on the employer's site, and they receive it when you submit. The extension never submits for you.
- How long do you keep my data?
- For as long as your account is open. Inactive accounts are deleted after 24 months. If you answer the opening questions without an account, the read is kept for a week, and your answers and email are cleared 30 days after that.
