Manage your personal details including profile photo, name, address, phone, and LinkedIn profile used across Callings.ai for resumes and cover letters.
# Profile
**Profile is where you manage your personal details—profile photo, name, address, phone number, and LinkedIn profile—that appear in your resumes, cover letters, and other application materials generated on Callings.ai.**
## Overview
This page stores your profile photo, contact, and location details so they can be included in documents you create on the platform. When you generate a custom resume or cover letter, this information serves as the grounding data for your personal details—ensuring your name, address, and contact info are accurate and consistent.
**Auto-filled from your resume or LinkedIn:** When you first upload your resume or connect your LinkedIn profile, Callings.ai automatically extracts and populates these fields for you. However, it's good practice to review and verify that the information is correct, especially your phone number and address.
The AI uses this information contextually when generating content for you. For example, when creating a cover letter, the AI knows your name and contact details to format the header correctly, and understands your location when discussing commute or relocation in your application materials.
**What your information is used for:**
- Populating contact headers on resumes and cover letters
- Including your phone and email for recruiter follow-up
- Adding your LinkedIn profile to professional documents
- Location-based job matching
**Privacy First:** Your information is private and never shared with employers or third parties. It's only used to provide you with our services.
