Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 24, 2026 ยท Effective immediately

The short version: Kitsuno collects only what's needed to run your job search. We don't track you, don't sell your data, don't show ads, and don't use your career data to train AI models. You can export or delete everything at any time.

1. Who we are

Kitsuno is operated by SF4L S.R.L., a company registered in Romania (CUI 49409572, J2024000638403), with its registered office at ศ˜oseaua Nicolae Titulescu Nr. 10, Bl. 20, Sc. A, Et. 9, Ap. 41, Sector 1, Bucureศ™ti, Romania.

For any privacy-related questions, contact us at hello@kitsuno.ai.

2. What data we collect

2.1 Account data

When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and authentication credentials. If you sign in via a third-party provider (e.g. Google), we receive your name and email from that provider.

2.2 Career data (your "career library")

You provide this voluntarily to power your job search:

  • Work experience, education, skills, and certifications
  • Uploaded CVs, work examples, testimonials, and other evidence
  • Job search preferences: target roles, keywords, locations, work modes
  • Search profile configurations and scoring weights

Your career data belongs to you. We process it solely to operate your job search. We never sell it, share it with advertisers, or use it to train AI models.

2.3 Job search activity

As Kitsuno operates your job search, we store:

  • Jobs found, scores, and match details
  • Generated documents (CVs, cover letters, emails)
  • Application status and follow-up actions
  • Conversations with Kitso (your AI career agent)

2.4 Waitlist data

If you join the waitlist before creating an account, we collect your email address, IP address (for abuse prevention), and any UTM parameters from the referring link.

2.5 Technical data

We store minimal technical data required for security and operations: IP addresses in server logs (retained for 30 days), user agent strings, and login timestamps.

2.6 What we don't collect

Kitsuno does not use cookies for tracking. We do not use analytics services. We do not embed tracking pixels, social media widgets, or advertising scripts. The only browser storage we use is localStorage for your light/dark theme preference.

3. Why we process your data (legal basis)

4. Third-party processors

We use a limited number of third-party services to operate Kitsuno. Each processes only the minimum data required for its function:

ServicePurposeData processedLocation

* International transfers: Where data is processed outside the EU/EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or the service provider's adequacy certification. Groq and Resend process data under SCCs. We are evaluating self-hosting fonts to eliminate this third-party dependency.

5. AI processing

Kitsuno uses AI models to score job matches, generate tailored documents, and power the Kitso career agent. Important details:

  • No model training: Your data is never used to train or fine-tune AI models. All AI calls are inference-only.
  • Context isolation: Each AI request contains only the context needed for that specific task. Your full career library is never sent in a single request.
  • Human review: All AI-generated documents (CVs, cover letters, emails) require your review and approval before any action is taken.
  • Transparency: Every AI action is logged. You can see what data was used and what decisions were made in your activity feed.
