I would like to give this a try (been job hunting for the past 6 months), but I'm also a bit paranoid in sharing a lot of data, especially with a service that has no privacy policy.
Very fair point! Not to put the onus on you but do you happen to have any pointers on where I can get started?
As it stands, I am using google analytics, and also storing the resume text (though not the document), and the embedding of the text. I hope at the very least that provides some transparency.
Use Wide Angle Analytics instead of Plausible or Google Analytics. Much better choice if you ever leak personal data to your analytics platform and very few solutions support PD. Wide Angle does.
Given the personal data you are processing, some might even become sensitive (disability status), you need DPO ( Data Protection Officer). There are DPO as a service out there.
Using Google Analytics might have some GDPR implications in Europe. A more GDPR-friendly alternative might be Plausible Analytics.
Also, given the amount of information contained in a CV, even without a name, address, contact info etc, it could make the process of identifying the actual person fairly easy, thus it might have some GDPR implications.
You could have a look at some Privacy Policies from recruiting agencies [0][1], though those are (in my opinion) fairly "abusive".
my 2 cents: given this is a side project, I would not store any data at all
Jesse Warden was really helpful for me when I was starting out programming. He has a great series called 'Beginners Guide to Software Development' which got me started and he's especially helpful with JavaScript testing and tooling

Space Between | Ashford, Kent, UK | ONSITE | Front End Web Developer / Web Developer
We are a 6 person agency, based in Ashford Kent. We've been running for two years. We're a developer & technology focussed agency with a flat and friendly structure. We have a nice office about 3 minutes walk from Ashford International Station, which is only 30 minutes from St Pancras in London.
We're looking for someone to join the team with Front-end experience. We like using Angular.js and React.js. We write BEMy SCSS. We work with Node.js tools and we like express on the server. Git and Front-end build tooling experience would be great.
If you feel that you're not growing where you are, or you feel that your restricted by the technology used by your current agency, you should definitely apply. We're truly technology agnostic and we always make sure we're using technology that we think is growing.
