Effective Date: April 17, 2026 • Last Updated: April 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what data DAIVAD Digital, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, how it is stored, and how it is used. We built DAIVAD with a privacy-first architecture; your data stays on your device.
1. Scope of this Policy
This policy covers personal data collected by DAIVAD Digital, LLC through our website and our sales, marketing, and support activities.
This policy does not apply to data used with the DAIVAD desktop software application. All data the DAIVAD application creates or processes is stored locally on your device in a sandboxed application directory. We do not operate a cloud server, maintain a user database, or collect your personal data from the desktop application. See Appendix A for more information on the data processed by the desktop application.
2. What Data We Collect
6. Payment Processing
DAIVAD uses Paddle as our Merchant of Record. When you purchase a DAIVAD license, Paddle processes your payment, handles sales tax, and manages billing. We do not receive or store your credit card number, bank account details, or billing address. Paddle’s privacy policy governs payment data handling. You can review it at paddle.com/legal/privacy.
7. Website Data
Our website (daivad.com) collects limited information directly from you only through voluntary forms:
- Waitlist Signup: Name, email address, and intended use case [Identifiers]
- Beta Application: Name, email address, professional background, and intended use case [Identifiers, professional or employment-related information]
This information is stored in Cloudflare KV (a key-value store) and is used solely to manage the waitlist and beta program. We do not share this information with third parties. We do not use tracking cookies, analytics scripts, or advertising pixels on our website.
3. Your Privacy Rights
You may have rights under applicable law to receive a copy of the information we have collected about you, to correct inaccurate information, or to deletion of your information. To exercise any of these rights, email support@daivad.com with your request. We will delete your entry within 30 business days.
10. Children’s Privacy
DAIVAD is designed for adults engaged in professional job searching. We do not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided information through our website forms, contact us at support@daivad.com and we will delete it promptly.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as DAIVAD evolves. Changes will be posted on our website and noted with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of DAIVAD after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Appendix A: Desktop Application
1. Data Processed by the Application
The following data is stored locally by the application:
- Your name, email address, and professional profile (extracted from your uploaded resume)
- Your resume file (PDF, DOCX, or TXT)
- Work history, skills, and career preferences you provide during setup
- Job search results, saved listings, and application tracking data
- Generated cover letters and tailored resumes
- Application configuration and preferences
- API usage logs (for your own budget tracking)
- Encrypted API credentials (see Section 3)
2. Data DAIVAD Does Not Collect
- We do not track your usage patterns, job search behavior, or application activity
- We do not collect or store your payment information (payments are handled entirely by Paddle; see Section 6)
- We do not have access to your API keys, budget settings, or usage data
- We do not sell, share, or transfer any user data to third parties
3. API Credentials and Encryption
DAIVAD uses a Bring Your Own Key model. You create and manage your own accounts with third-party AI and search providers (such as OpenRouter and Exa). Your API keys are:
- Encrypted at rest using your operating system’s secure credential storage (macOS Keychain, Windows Data Protection API, or Linux libsecret) as the primary method
- Protected by AES-256-GCM encryption with per-credential derived keys as a fallback when operating system credential storage is unavailable
- Never transmitted to DAIVAD or any party other than the API provider you configured
- Recoverable only via a recovery key that you download during initial setup
We cannot access, recover, or reset your API keys. If you lose your recovery key and your operating system credential storage becomes unavailable, you will need to generate new API keys from your providers.
4. Data That Leaves Your Device
DAIVAD sends data to third-party services only when you initiate an action that requires it, and only to the providers you have configured. Specifically:
AI Provider (such as OpenRouter): When you use features like resume tailoring, cover letter generation, or job description analysis, the relevant text is sent to your configured AI provider for processing. The AI provider’s own privacy policy governs their handling of this data.
Search Provider (such as Exa, Brave Search, Tavily): When DAIVAD searches for job listings, search queries are sent to your configured search provider. These queries contain job-related keywords and preferences; not your personal information.
Job Board Websites: DAIVAD may access public job listing pages from boards such as We Work Remotely, Jobicy, Himalayas, Remotive, and USAJOBS to retrieve listing data.
License Validation: DAIVAD periodically verifies your license status. This check transmits only your license key and a device identifier; no personal data, resume content, or job search information is included.
DAIVAD does not send data to any service you have not explicitly configured. You can disable any search source or provider at any time through Settings.
5. Data Ownership
You own all data generated by DAIVAD, including tailored resumes, cover letters, job search results, and research reports. DAIVAD claims no intellectual property rights over content generated using the software. Your data remains on your device and under your control at all times.
8. Backups
DAIVAD creates automatic daily backups of your application data, stored locally on your device. Backups are retained for 14 days by default and are automatically deleted after expiration. Backup files are stored in your application data directory alongside your regular data. You can restore from any backup or adjust the retention period in Settings.
9. Data Deletion
Because all data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over deletion:
- Use DAIVAD’s built-in “Reset All Data” function to delete all application data
- Manually delete the DAIVAD application data directory from your file system
- Uninstalling DAIVAD removes the application but may leave the data directory intact; use the reset function first if you want a complete removal
