This page is short on purpose. cvjson.com is the home of an open standard, not a product that harvests data. There is no account to create, no form to fill, and nothing here is trying to follow you around the web.

What this site collects: nothing
cvjson.com is a set of static pages. We run no analytics, set no cookies, and use no tracking pixels. There is no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no advertising network, no session recorder, no fingerprinting. You can read every page, every guide, and the full spec without handing over a single detail about yourself.
If a privacy policy is mostly a list of things a site does NOT do to you, that is a good sign. This is one of those.
What a web server sees
Like any website, the server that delivers these pages keeps standard access logs. Those logs record an IP address, the browser user-agent string, and which page was requested. We keep them briefly for security and abuse prevention, we never sell or share them, and they are not linked to any identity, because we hold no identities to link them to.
The one outside service: web fonts
These pages load their typefaces (Inter, JetBrains Mono, Newsreader) from Google Fonts. That means your browser fetches the font files from Google's servers, and Google can see that request, including your IP address. It is the only third party these pages touch. We may self-host the fonts later to remove even that.
Privacy is built into the standard, not bolted on
cv.json is opt-in by design. In a published cv.json file, contact details are hidden by default. You decide exactly which fields are public, down to the individual line. Your file lives wherever you choose to host it, it is portable, and there is no lock-in. Privacy here is a property of the format, not a favour we grant you.
When you leave this site
Several links point off cvjson.com. The FreeCV builder at freecv.org is where you would actually create a cv.json, and it has its own privacy policy and is where any account or stored data lives. The spec sits on github.com. Example files sit on livelink.cv. Each of those is a separate service with its own terms. This page only covers cvjson.com.
Your cv.json file is yours
Once you publish a cv.json, you control what it contains and where it sits. You can edit it, move it, or delete it at any time. cvjson.com never sees, stores, or proxies your file. The whole point of the standard is that your career data belongs to you, not to a platform.
Changes to this page
If anything here changes, for example if we add privacy-respecting analytics or self-host the fonts, we will update this page and the review date at the top. No quiet edits.
