Privacy Policy — JobAce

Last updated: June 14, 2026

Overview

JobAce is a browser extension that helps you track job applications and generate AI-powered CV suggestions and cover letters. Your privacy is a core design principle — JobAce does not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to any third-party server.



What Data JobAce Accesses

CV Content

Your CV is read directly from a Google Doc that you specify. The text is loaded into your browser's local memory solely to generate AI suggestions. It is never sent to any server controlled by JobAce.

Job Postings

JobAce reads the content of job posting pages you visit (title, company, location, description) when you click "Save". This data is saved only to your own Google Sheet.

Google Account

JobAce requests access to Google Sheets and Google Drive to read your CV and write job data to your spreadsheet. This access is granted via Google OAuth and the token is stored locally in your browser. JobAce never sees your Google password.



Where Your Data Goes

| Data | Destination |
|------|-------------|
| CV text | Your browser memory only (used to generate AI output) |
| Job data | Your own Google Sheet |
| AI prompts | Your local Ollama instance — OR — the API provider you configure (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) |
| Google auth token | Your browser's local storage only |

JobAce has no backend server. No data is sent to the extension developer.



Third-Party Services

Depending on your AI provider choice:

• Ollama (local) — all AI processing happens on your own device. No data leaves your PC.
• OpenAI / Anthropic / other API — if you choose to use an external API, your job description and CV text are sent to that provider to generate suggestions. This is governed by that provider's own privacy policy. JobAce does not control or have access to this data.

Google Sheets and Google Drive access is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.



Data Storage

JobAce stores the following in your browser's local extension storage:

• Your Google OAuth token (to avoid repeated sign-ins)
• Your configured settings (Sheet ID, CV URL, AI provider, model)
• Your CV text (cached to avoid repeated Drive loads)

This data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to JobAce or any third party.



Data Deletion

To delete all JobAce data:
1. Remove the extension from your browser
2. Your Google Sheet remains — delete it manually if desired



Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date above will be updated. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance.
