1. About Send My CV

(registration number ), trading as Send My CV, operates a free WhatsApp-based CV-building service for job seekers in South Africa. These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the service.

References to "we", "us", or "the Company" mean . References to "you" or "user" mean the person using the service.

2. Who may use the service

You may use Send My CV only if:

  • You are at least 18 years of age
  • You are using the service for your own personal CV (not on behalf of another person without their consent)
  • You have a valid WhatsApp account and accept WhatsApp's own Terms of Service
  • The information you provide is true, accurate, and your own

If you are under 18, you may not use this service. If we become aware that a person under 18 has used the service, we will delete their data promptly.

3. What the service does

Send My CV allows you to build a professional CV through a guided WhatsApp conversation. You answer questions about your education, work experience, skills, and personal details. We use this information to generate a formatted PDF CV, which we send back to you on WhatsApp.

The service is provided free of charge. Standard WhatsApp data costs may apply depending on your mobile data plan — we are not responsible for any data costs you incur.

We use artificial intelligence tools (including Google Gemini and Groq) to assist with improving the quality of your CV text, such as correcting spelling, enhancing job descriptions, and generating profile statements. All AI-generated text is presented to you for review and approval before it appears on your CV.

4.3 Accuracy

You are responsible for ensuring that all information you provide is accurate and truthful. We do not verify your qualifications, employment history, or any other information you submit. Providing false information on a CV may be unlawful and is entirely your responsibility.
