YOUR PRIVACY
Your information stays
under your control.
This Privacy Policy explains how the Apply Assist Chrome extension collects, uses, stores, and shares information. Google Docs integration and all AI-powered actions are optional and occur only when you choose to use them.
Information Apply Assist handles
Depending on the features you use, Apply Assist handles:
- Application profile data: information you enter for job applications, such as contact details, work and education history, answers, and preferences.
- Resume data: uploaded resume files and extracted resume text.
- Page and form data: field labels, nearby page text, form structure, and the answers needed to fill the active application page. If you deliberately choose Hybrid mode, a screenshot of the visible page may also be processed.
- Resume Tailor data: the job description, resume text, instructions, and generated draft.
- Optional Google data: Google Docs content and Google Drive file information accessed when you connect Google Docs and request a Docs-related action.
- Service data: authentication identifiers, subscription or plan status, credit usage, request counts, settings, and limited technical information needed to operate and protect the service.
How information is used
Apply Assist uses this information only to provide and improve its user-facing features: saving your profile, filling application forms, attaching your resume, authenticating your account, enforcing plan or credit limits, generating AI-assisted answers and resume drafts, and completing Google Docs actions that you request. Apply Assist does not sell personal data or use it for personalized advertising.
Local storage
Local-first by design
Your saved application profile, uploaded resume, preferences, and draft information are stored in Chrome's extension storage on your device. Apply Assist does not keep a permanent server-side copy of your locally saved profile or uploaded resume. Clearing the extension's data or uninstalling Apply Assist removes this locally stored information.
AI processing and the Apply Assist service
AI features are optional. Information is sent only when you choose an AI-powered action.
- For Fill with Gemini, the page and form information needed to answer the requested field is processed.
- For Hybrid mode, a screenshot of the visible page may be processed when you explicitly select that mode.
- For Resume Tailor, the job description, resume text you provide or import, and your instructions are processed to create a tailored draft.
These requests are transmitted over HTTPS to the Apply Assist service and Google Gemini for the purpose of returning the result you requested. Apply Assist does not use this content for advertising or permit human review except when required for security, legal compliance, or support that you request and consent to.
Optional Google Docs and Google Drive access
Connecting a Google account is optional. You can use Apply Assist's core profile and autofill features without connecting Google Docs. Apply Assist requests Google authorization only when you choose a feature that needs it, such as importing a master resume from Google Docs or creating a formatted document in your Google Drive.
If you connect Google Docs, the requested permissions allow Apply Assist to:
- read and update Google Docs so it can read the document you choose and create or update the document you request;
- view Google Drive files so you can locate and choose a master document; and
- create and manage files that you open with or create through Apply Assist.
Apply Assist uses this access only to complete the Docs or Drive action you initiate. It does not access Google Docs or Drive content for advertising. If you use Resume Tailor with a Google Doc, the imported resume text is sent to Gemini only after you request generation. Documents created by Apply Assist are stored in your Google Drive and are controlled by your Google account and Google's retention settings.
You can disconnect Apply Assist at any time from your Google Account's third-party connections page. Disconnecting prevents future Google Docs and Drive access but does not delete documents already created in your Drive.
Sharing and service providers
Apply Assist shares information only as needed to provide the features you request:
- Google Gemini processes content submitted for optional AI features.
- Google Docs, Google Drive, and Google identity services provide optional document access, document creation, and Google authorization.
- Apply Assist's hosting and backend providers process encrypted requests needed for authentication, account status, credit enforcement, security, and AI features.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law or when necessary to protect users, the service, or the public. Apply Assist does not sell or rent user data.
Retention and deletion
- Information in Chrome extension storage remains until you delete it, clear the extension's data, or uninstall the extension.
- Documents created in Google Drive remain there until you delete them through Google Drive.
- Account, plan, credit, security, and transaction records may be retained for as long as needed to operate the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and prevent abuse.
- Third-party providers process and retain information under their applicable terms and privacy policies.
You can revoke Google access through your Google Account. To request deletion of account-related service data, use the developer contact provided on the Apply Assist Chrome Web Store listing.
Security
Apply Assist uses HTTPS to transmit information to its service providers and limits access to the permissions needed for its features. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, so users should review the information they choose to submit.
Chrome Web Store Limited Use
Apply Assist's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs and Chrome extension permissions adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data obtained through these permissions is used only to provide or improve the user-facing features described in this policy. It is not used for personalized advertising, sold to third parties, or made available for unrelated human review.
Your choices
You control whether to save profile information, upload a resume, use an AI feature, enable Hybrid mode, or connect Google Docs. You can review or edit locally stored information, clear extension data, revoke Google access, delete created Google Drive documents, or uninstall Apply Assist at any time.
Changes and contact
This policy may be updated when Apply Assist's data practices change. Material changes will be reflected on this page before the new practices take effect. For privacy questions or deletion requests, use the developer contact listed on the Apply Assist Chrome Web Store page.
Review AI-generated content
AI-generated answers and resume drafts can be incomplete or inaccurate. Always review and edit generated content before using it in an application.
