Open the companion tool →Why a resume is different
A resume concentrates exactly what identity thieves and data brokers want in one file — full name, address, phone, email, and a complete work history. Uploading it to a free AI tool can mean paying with that dossier instead of money.
The check is the same narrow set: what the tool collects, who it shares with, whether it trains on uploads, and whether there is a paid or local route that does not harvest the data.
The protocol
- Review the tool's privacy terms before uploading anything.
- Read the dossier-risk basis: collection, sharing, training, and the data route.
- Prefer tools that process locally or state plainly that uploads are not resold or trained on.
- For the bare function — spell-checking, phrasing — consider a local or non-upload route.
What the tool does
Review an AI resume tool's terms and get a dossier-risk reading before you upload. It runs in this browser; nothing is sent or stored.
Limit first: This is a reading aid, not legal advice and not a guarantee about any tool's practices. Terms change; verify against the current version.

Check the tool's terms and data route before upload. If a tool has already resold or leaked your data, file with the FTC and freeze credit at IdentityTheft.gov.
Research log and safety checks
AI-assist path: not applicable — the artifact is a checklist over the tool's own disclosure; a model paraphrase would obscure the exact terms the reader needs to see. §6.10: not a frontier-pace topic.
§0.5 protection result: category is data-privacy-exposure; crisis-adjacent: no; fear/urgency/scarcity toolkit used: no. The protective function is free and the paid feature is convenience only.
