Privacy Policy

Your career data stays yours.

NextRole keeps your resumes, cover letters, and job applications on your iPhone. This policy explains what the app handles, when anything leaves your device, and how to remove it.

Last updated: October 28, 2026 Applies to the NextRole iOS app
Stored on your device

Your profile, documents, and job entries live in the app on your iPhone.

No account needed

You don’t sign in to NextRole, and we don’t keep a server copy of your data.

Never sold

We don’t sell your personal information or share it with data brokers.

Delete any time

Settings → Delete Account removes everything from the device.

01Who we are

NextRole (“NextRole,” “we,” “us”) makes the NextRole app for iPhone and iPad, a career companion for building resumes, writing cover letters, tracking job applications, and practicing interviews.

This policy covers the app and this website. Questions go to support@nextrole.app.

02Information you add

NextRole only has what you choose to type, import, or pick in the app:

  • Profile: your first and last name, an optional email address, and an optional profile photo.
  • Resumes: contact details, work history, education, skills, and anything else you include. If you import a PDF, TXT, or RTF file, the app reads it on your device to fill in the resume.
  • Cover letters: the company, role, and letter text.
  • Job applications: company, role, status, dates (applied, deadline, interview, follow-up), location, salary, notes, and any contact person, email, or phone number you add.
  • Interview practice: the company and role you enter, the questions, and the answers you type or dictate.

03Where your data is stored

Everything above is saved inside NextRole’s private storage on your device. We don’t run a NextRole account system or keep a copy on our servers, so we can’t see your documents.

If your iPhone is backed up with iCloud or to a computer, NextRole data is included in that backup under your Apple settings. That’s also how it moves to a new device.

Good to know: since we don’t hold a copy, we can’t recover data that’s deleted from your device and isn’t in a backup.

04Drafting features

Some features draft content for you, such as a resume from your description, a cover letter for a role, or interview questions for a company.

To create a draft, the text you enter for that request (for example the company, the role, and the description you write) may be sent to our AI service provider. We send only what the request needs. We don’t include your advertising identifier or device identifiers, and we don’t use your content for advertising.

Generated text can be wrong or incomplete. Please review it before you send it to an employer.

05Device permissions

NextRole asks for these permissions only when you use the feature that needs them. You can change any of them in iOS Settings → NextRole.

Microphone and speech recognition

Used when you answer interview questions by voice. Your speech is turned into text by Apple’s speech recognition, which may process audio on Apple’s servers under Apple’s Privacy Policy. NextRole doesn’t save audio recordings, only the text you keep.

Photos

Used to choose a profile photo and to save shareable job cards to your library. The photo you pick stays on your device.

Notifications

Used for interview, deadline, and follow-up reminders and optional daily motivation. Reminders are scheduled on your device. We don’t send push messages from a server.

Files

Used when you import a document or export a resume or cover letter as a PDF. Exported files go wherever you choose to save or share them.

06Purchases

Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple through the App Store. We never receive your card details. The app receives your subscription status from the App Store so it can unlock paid features, and it keeps that status on your device.

07Tracking and analytics

NextRole may ask for permission under Apple’s App Tracking Transparency. Choosing “Ask App Not to Track” doesn’t limit any feature. We don’t currently share your advertising identifier with anyone.

The app doesn’t include third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. If you’ve turned on “Share With App Developers” in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements, Apple may share crash reports and aggregate usage statistics with us, which we use only to fix problems and improve the app.

08When information is shared

We don’t sell or rent personal information. Information leaves your device only in these cases:

  • You share it. For example, when you export a PDF, share a job card, or email us.
  • Drafting requests, sent to our AI service provider as described above.
  • Apple services, for purchases and speech recognition.
  • Legal reasons, if we’re required to respond to valid legal process. Since we don’t store your app data, we generally have little to provide.

09Retention and deletion

Your data stays on your device until you delete it.

  • Delete a single resume, cover letter, or job entry from its menu in the app.
  • Delete everything with Settings → Delete Account. This removes your profile, resumes, cover letters, and job applications from the device.
  • Deleting the app also deletes its data, though copies may remain in your existing device backups until those are replaced.

If you contact support, we keep your emails as long as needed to help you, then delete them.

10Your rights

Depending on where you live, for example in the EU, UK, or California, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to some processing.

Because your NextRole data is on your device, you can view, edit, export (as PDFs), and delete it yourself in the app. For anything else, email support@nextrole.app and we’ll respond within the time the law requires.

11Children

NextRole isn’t intended for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

12Changes to this policy

If we change how NextRole handles information, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. For significant changes, we’ll also let you know in the app.
