Questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and processed by JavaScript running in your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, and the result is created on your device.

Where is my résumé stored?

In your browser's local storage on this device. Clearing site data removes it, so export JSON as a backup.

Do I need to know LaTeX?

No. It only borrows LaTeX's look; you just fill in a form.

Can recruiters' systems read it?

Yes. The text is real text, not an image.
