JOBSAVESYour data stays on your device
Effective October 16, 2026
JobSaves is a Chrome extension for keeping a record of your own job search. This policy explains what the extension stores and where. The short version: JobSaves does not collect, transmit, sell or share any of your data. We have no servers and never receive anything you enter.
What JobSaves stores
Only what you type in or add yourself:
| Data | Where it is kept |
|---|---|
| Job log entries: date, employer, job title, job link, method of contact, outcome, interview stage, notes, and which resume you sent | chrome.storage.local in your Chrome profile on your computer |
| Settings: weekly goal and follow-up window | chrome.storage.local |
| Resume files you add to the resume library | The extension's own IndexedDB database on your computer |
What JobSaves does not do
- It makes no network requests. Nothing is uploaded, synced or backed up to any server.
- It has no account or sign-in.
- It has no analytics, telemetry, advertising or third-party code.
- It does not read your browsing history, and it does not read web pages on its own. The only page it reads is a job post you click Fill from page on (see below).
- It does not open or read the contents of your resume files; it stores them so you can open them later.
Permissions
- storage: saves your entries and settings on your computer.
- sidePanel: shows the logging form in Chrome's side panel.
- scripting: when you click Fill from page, reads the job title, employer and link from the job post in your current tab.
JobSaves has access to LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Dice, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday and Ashby pages and no other websites. It uses that access only when you click Fill from page: it reads the job post in your current tab and fills the form. Nothing runs on those sites otherwise, nothing from the page is saved unless you save the entry, and nothing is sent anywhere. You can limit or remove this access from the extension's details page in Chrome.
Retention and deletion
- When you first open JobSaves you choose how long log entries stay on your computer: 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or 2 years. Entries older than that are removed from your computer automatically. Nothing is removed until you choose, and you can change it any time in the dashboard.
- You can edit or delete any entry or resume file at any time from the extension.
- Uninstalling JobSaves deletes all of its stored data from Chrome.
Exports and backups
If you choose Export CSV or Back up, JobSaves saves a file to your computer through Chrome's normal download. That file is not encrypted and, for backups, includes your resume files. Where you keep or send it is up to you.
Children
JobSaves is not directed at children under 13 and collects no information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
