The scan is unlimited and runs entirely in your browser — no account, no email, no scan cap. A free account only adds extras: fixing every weak bullet with AI, tailoring to a specific job, and score history."},{question:"Is my resume uploaded or stored anywhere?",answer:"No. The scan is computed locally in your browser — your resume text is never uploaded, stored, or used for training. If you choose the optional AI sample rewrite, only that single bullet point is sent for processing."},{question:"Should I put every technology I've ever touched on my resume?",answer:"No — list what you could discuss in an interview. ATS matching gets you the callback, but the interviewer probes the claims.
