gmail.modify): reads job-related messages, applies labels, and inserts a daily summary into the user's own inbox. The app has no code to send, reply to, forward, trash or delete mail.drive.file): only files the app creates itself, such as its folder, the tracker spreadsheet and resume drafts.spreadsheets.readonly): reads a tracker spreadsheet the user chooses, if they turn that option on.Data is used only to run the app's job-search features for that user: sorting job email, tracking applications and drafting resumes. It is not used for advertising, it is not sold, and it is not shared with anyone else, except as described below.
Excerpts of job-related email, job postings and resume details are sent to Anthropic's Claude for classification and drafting. The user agreed to this before using the app. Nothing else is shared with any other third party.
The app runs on a private server controlled by Chris Sievers. The Google access token and app records are stored there with restricted file permissions, and backups are encrypted. Application records are kept for the length of the job search plus 6 months, cached AI results for 90 days, and logs for 30 days. Logs do not contain message bodies.
The user can revoke access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions, and can ask for all stored data to be deleted by emailing the contact address below.
Job Search's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
