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:

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.

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:

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:

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

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.
