Privacy policy

Last updated: 22/10/2026

Draft text to be legally reviewed before public launch. In case of discrepancy, the French version prevails.

Data controller

Global Digital Agency (GDA), publisher of MakeYouFirst.

Data processed

Identity and contact details, professional profile (experience, education, skills), search criteria, imported offers, applications, files (CV templates, generated documents, copies of sent emails), settings (SMTP / IMAP app passwords are encrypted), technical logs and AI usage logs.

Purposes and legal bases

Providing the service: organising your job search, generating documents, sending at your request (performance of the contract).
Security of the service and abuse prevention (legitimate interest).
Tips and news by email, only if you agreed (consent, which you can withdraw at any time).
Aggregated usage statistics, with no advertising profiling.

Your data is never sold or used for advertising.

Processors

Hosting: Hostinger.
Artificial intelligence: Anthropic (Claude API), which receives the extracts needed (profile, offer) to generate your documents.
Payment: Stripe, for the Pro subscription and credit top-ups (MakeYouFirst never sees your card numbers).
Email: your mailbox provider (Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud…) when you connect it to send your applications.

Some processors may handle data outside the European Union; such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses).

Sending emails

Only after you click to confirm (or through Autopilot if you switch it on), from your own mailbox or from GDA’s domain with your address as reply-to.

Cookies and local storage

MakeYouFirst only uses cookies needed for the service to work: session, form security and your chosen language. No advertising cookies, no third-party analytics. Your browser may locally remember that you closed an information banner.

Referrals: if you follow a user’s invitation link, a cookie keeps their code for 30 days so that your sign-up is credited to them. To prevent self-referrals, MakeYouFirst also keeps, for signed-in accounts, a random browser identifier and a one-way encrypted fingerprint of the IP address, for at most 90 days (legitimate interest: abuse prevention). This data is included in your account export.

Purchases and waiver of the right of withdrawal

For each payment, to prove your request for immediate access and your waiver of the right of withdrawal, MakeYouFirst keeps the date, the product, the version of the terms of use accepted, the text of the box you ticked and an encrypted (non-reversible) fingerprint of your IP address (legal obligation to confirm the contract and legitimate interest: proof of your consent). These data are kept with your account and included in its export.

Retention

Until your account is deleted; technical logs are kept for a limited time.

Your rights

Access, rectification, export (My account → Export my data), erasure (My account → Delete), objection and restriction. You can lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority (CNIL) or your local authority.
