Overview
Novyn ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the Novyn platform at novyn.pstepanov.dev.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us:
- Account information — your name, email address, and password when you sign up.
- Background and career data — work experience, skills, and education you enter into your profile.
- License key — your Gumroad license key used to activate your account.
- Usage data — how you interact with the platform, including job descriptions you paste and resumes you generate.

How We Use Your Information

Your Gemini API Key
Your Gemini API key is stored in our database and used exclusively to make AI generation requests on your behalf. We do not use your API key for any other purpose, share it with third parties, or use it to generate content outside of your Novyn session.
Data Storage
Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase (Firestore). Firebase is hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure with enterprise-grade security. Your career background data, generated resumes, and application history are stored per-user and accessible only to you.
Third-Party Services
Novyn integrates with the following third-party services:
- Google Gemini API — used for AI content generation via your own API key.
- Notion API — used to sync your applications to your Notion workspace, only when you configure this integration.
- Gumroad — used to verify your license key at signup.
- Google Firebase — used for authentication and database storage.
Data Retention
We retain your data for the duration of your account. If you stop using Novyn and wish to have your data deleted, contact us at support@novyn.pstepanov.dev and we will remove your account and associated data within 30 days.
Your Rights
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your account and data.
- Export your career background data.
Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encrypted storage, authenticated API access, and per-user data isolation. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
