Technically very nice, but please add these informations: * who are you * in which jurisdiction is this site located * especially: is this site US based or in an EU country * what happens to my data I put on your site * please publish a general privacy policy (collection, retention, distribution to third parties etc.)

At the moment you are just demonstrating very clearly that you give a * thinking on user privacy - that is not very clever.

Isn't a resume a relatively public document already? When you apply for a job, do you ask to see the employers resume privacy policy? Besides, most of the same information is found on the average LinkedIn profile, so in the grand scheme of things is a privacy policy in this site really a battle worth creating a new HN account just to complain about it? Perhaps one of us can make a public key secured resume builder to ensure that the NSA doesn't find out you worked for McDonalds for two years. I am all for privacy, but there's also a level of common sense that ought to be used before criticizing someone's free tool that you are under no obligation to use. If it were a commercial product, then perhaps there's be a higher standard but this was some dude building a tool probably in his spare time.

You are downvoted for obvious reasons but nevertheless absolutely right!
