What We Track
When Your CV is Opened
We record the exact timestamp when a recruiter opens your CV link. This helps you understand response times and engagement patterns.
Time Spent on Each Section
We track how long recruiters spend reading each section of your CV (Experience, Education, Skills, etc.). This shows you what captures their attention.
Section Engagement Metrics
We measure which sections get the most attention, scroll depth, and re-reads. This data helps you optimize your CV structure.
Device & Country
We record the device type (mobile, tablet, desktop), the browser, and the country the request came from. Nothing narrower than a country is ever stored — no city, no coordinates — and the IP address the country is worked out from is not kept.
Less, If It Is an Uploaded File
Some documents shared through Resumetricx are PDFs their owner uploaded rather than built here. For those, only the open, the time held, the device and the country are recorded — not which parts you read, because a PDF has no section markers in it to measure. The notice on the document tells you which kind you are looking at.
Your Name — Only If You Type It
Beneath this notice on the CV itself there is a card asking whether you would like the person whose CV it is to know you read it. It never blocks the document, it asks once, and ignoring it costs you nothing. If you fill it in, they see exactly what you typed — your name, and optionally a company, an e-mail address and a line of your own — labelled as coming from you and not verified by us. If you don’t, they see a reading with no name against it, which is what the overwhelming majority of readings look like.
- Recruiter
Opens the link
The moment the CV is opened is recorded, with device type and the country the request came from.
- Their browser
Watches the page
Which sections are on screen, and for how long. Scroll depth and re-reads.
- In transit
Section times only
A single batch of section names and seconds. Nothing about who is reading travels with it — if a reader chooses to give a name, that is a separate thing they send on purpose.

Section 02 / 05
What We DON'T Track
- No Working Out Who You Are: Nothing here tries to identify you. No device fingerprinting, no lookup of your address against a database, no matching you to a profile. The single route by which a name ever reaches the CV’s owner is the card described above, which you fill in yourself or ignore.
- No Browsing History: We don't track what recruiters do outside of viewing your CV.
- No Third-Party Sharing: Your analytics data is never sold or shared with third parties.
- No Cookies on Recruiter Side: Recruiters viewing your CV don't get tracking cookies installed on their devices. The one thing we may store is your objection, and only if you ask us to below — it stays on your device and is never sent to us.

Section 04 / 05
Stop your opens being recorded
Read tracking runs on legitimate interests rather than on your consent, which means you have the right to object to it at any time and we have to honour that. This is where you do it — no account, no form, no e-mail to anyone.
Objecting also removes the card that asks who you are. You asked to be left alone; following that with an invitation to introduce yourself would be the same request in a friendlier font.
Your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track
Tracking is already off
Honoured automatically, before you arrive. There is nothing to press, and we do not offer a way to override it.
You object using the control on this page
Tracking is off
The objection is written to your own device. It is never sent to us, so it needs no account and identifies nobody.
Your browser blocks that storage
We say so, and name what does work
The choice cannot be remembered here, so the control tells you instead of silently failing — and points you at Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, which we honour.
You do nothing
Reads are measured
On legitimate interests, not consent — which is exactly why the objection above has to work.

Our Privacy Commitment
Resumetricx is built on trust and transparency. We believe job seekers deserve to know what happens to their applications, and recruiters deserve a seamless, non-intrusive experience.
All tracking is done ethically and in compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations. We never work out who a recruiter is: the only identity we ever hold is one a reader chose to type in, and it is theirs to withhold.
