How Data is Collected

Local Browser Storage
Encrypted Cloud Sync
No Data Sold
No Tracking

Data Handling

We handle and use your data ONLY for the following core functionalities:

  • Filling out job application forms on supported platforms (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, WTTJ, Monster)
  • Tracking which jobs you've applied to (to avoid duplicates)
  • Displaying statistics about your applications
  • AI-powered resume tailoring and cover letter generation (processed via secure API)

We do NOT:

  • Share or sell your data to third parties for advertising
  • Track your browsing activity outside of job platforms
  • Use your data for profiling outside the scope of our services
  • Store AI-processed data beyond the generated output

Data Storage

How and where we store your data, and how we keep it secure:

  • Local Storage: All local data is stored securely using Chrome's built-in secure storage API.
  • Cloud Storage: Cloud-synced data is stored on our secure cloud database, encrypted in transit (via HTTPS/TLS) and at rest.
  • Data Retention: We store your data only for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you delete your account, your data will be permanently deleted from our servers.
  • AI Processing: AI processing is done via secure API calls with no data retention on the provider's end for training purposes.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share data with necessary third-party services to provide the extension's core functionality:

  • Job Platforms: The extension interacts with LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Welcome to the Jungle, and Monster to automate your job applications based on the data you provide.
  • Secure Cloud Database: We use a secure cloud provider for account sync and application tracking.
  • AI Provider (Groq): Your resume data and job descriptions are sent to Groq's API solely for the purpose of generating tailored resumes and cover letters. No data is stored on their servers for training models.

Important Note: We do NOT share or sell your data to any third-party advertisers or data brokers. The data is shared strictly to perform the AI resume and application services you request.
