Browser-based tools

Resume entries and interview responses are processed in your browser. They are not submitted to an application database or AI service. Working entries remain in memory while you use the same open page. Reloading, closing the page, or opening a new tab can discard unsaved entries. A saved resume must be restored with “Load saved draft.”

“Save on this device” stores a resume in this browser’s local storage until you clear it. “Clear draft” removes that saved copy. Downloaded files remain on your device until you remove them. Avoid saving personal information on a shared device.

Free member accounts and email choices

Creating a free Correctional Edge member profile stores your authenticated account email, optional name, selected interest, saved articles, reading checklist, and email preference in the site’s database. ChatGPT provides sign-in; this does not use AI to write content. Your member profile is visible to you and the site owner, not other visitors. Do not enter confidential workplace information.

Email updates and future offers are optional and unchecked by default. We record your choice, the wording version, and when it changes. Creating an account alone does not subscribe you to marketing. You can withdraw consent in My Edge by unchecking the email preference and saving. No marketing emails are currently sent. If email campaigns are introduced, they will need an unsubscribe option and must respect your latest preference.

The site owner can review member records for account administration and export currently opted-in email addresses for the updates you requested. We do not sell member email addresses. Your member data remains until you delete your profile or request removal. In My Edge you can download your member data or permanently delete the member profile, saved articles and preferences. This does not delete your ChatGPT account or separately submitted contributor articles. Contact Travis directly about contributor material. Resume and other free-tool entries are not synced to your member profile.

Contributor accounts and articles

The writer dashboard is separate from the free browser tools. Signing in provides an account identifier and email address. Approved contributors can save drafts and images to the site database and file storage. Travis can review those drafts and publish approved articles, including the chosen author name and cover image. Drafts are not public. Members may submit a short contributor request visible to the owner. Contributor guideline acceptance records include account identifier, email, the accepted version, timestamp and acceptance screen. These records are retained separately from the basic member profile to document contributor permissions and editorial accountability; contact Travis about removal. Updated guidelines may require acceptance again before writing tools are available. Requests remain until their member profile is deleted; access decisions are recorded in an owner-only access history for security and administration. Account access can be revoked; unpublishing removes an article from public view but retains its draft. Ask Travis directly about removing stored contributor material. Downloaded copies and third-party caches may remain.

Hosting and analytics

The hosting provider may process technical access information needed to deliver and protect the site, and may set cookies for security or access control. These hosting functions are separate from the resume draft stored by this site. The site records aggregate public page views by UTC date, page path and broad referral category for up to 90 days. This counter does not store IP addresses, account IDs, cookies, full referrer URLs or device identifiers. It respects browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Account and dashboard pages are excluded. Counts may include repeat visits or automated traffic and are not unique visitor counts. There are no advertising trackers. Optional member email preferences are described above.

What to leave out

Do not include Social Security numbers, dates of birth, confidential personnel records, investigation details, or sensitive security information. Use fictional information when testing tools.
