Privacy Policy

Effective July 24, 2026. This policy explains what information StartbusinessAI collects, why it is used, and the choices available to you.

Who we are

StartbusinessAI is an independent educational website founded and edited by Nesrin Ali Sayed. The website address is https://startbusinessai.online.

Career profile and assessment information

The Career Finder currently processes the skills, interests, work preferences, experience level, learning time, and related answers you enter entirely in your browser. Your career profile, match identifiers, roadmap context, and portfolio checklist progress are stored in your browser's local storage so the product can remember them. This website does not currently send those assessment answers to a StartBusinessAI server.

The Job Matcher currently analyzes job-description text in your browser against that saved profile. It does not currently upload a CV or send job descriptions to an AI provider. Do not paste confidential or sensitive information. You can remove locally saved career information by clearing this site's browser data.

CV and application toolkit information

The current CV toolkit uses CV text, job descriptions, company and role names, application questions, and draft content that you paste or type. This version processes that content in your browser and stores it in local storage so it can be reused across the analyzer, builder, optimizer, cover-letter, application-answer, interview, and LinkedIn tools. PDF and DOCX extraction is not currently enabled, and this version does not send CV text to an external AI API.

CVs may contain personal information. Remove identifiers you do not need for analysis, avoid sensitive information, and clear this site's browser data when you want to delete the locally saved toolkit record.

Information you provide

If you subscribe to an email resource or newsletter, the information you submit may include your email address and any consent choices shown with the form. Newsletter forms are provided by MailerLite. MailerLite processes this information to deliver emails, maintain subscription records, and support unsubscribe requests.

Do not send confidential, financial, medical, or other sensitive personal information through our forms or social-media accounts.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, hosting, security, analytics, advertising, and embedded-service providers may process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, requested pages, approximate location, timestamps, cookie identifiers, and interaction data. We use this information to operate, secure, measure, and improve the site.

Google advertising and cookies

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads based on a user's previous visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Where our consent notice is displayed, optional Google advertising code is not loaded unless you select “Accept.”

Necessary and optional storage

We use local browser storage for career assessment answers, match results, roadmap context, portfolio progress, interface settings, and privacy choices. This information remains on that browser unless you clear it. Optional advertising cookies or similar storage are controlled through the privacy notice where required.

Why we process information

Service providers

We may use providers for hosting and content delivery, email subscriptions, advertising, analytics, security, and social links. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. Current providers may include Vercel, MailerLite, Google, LinkedIn, and X.

Sharing and selling information

We do not sell personal information for money. Information may be shared with service providers when necessary to operate the site, comply with law, protect rights and security, or complete a business transfer. Advertising cookies may qualify as “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under some privacy laws; use our privacy controls and Google Ads Settings to exercise available choices.

Retention and security

Information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, but we use reasonable organizational and technical safeguards.

Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in each email, decline optional advertising storage through our banner, clear site data in your browser, and manage Google advertising preferences. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing.

International visitors and children

Service providers may process information in countries other than yours. This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Policy updates

We may update this policy when our services, providers, or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top identifies the latest revision.
