Jobsift

Privacy policy

Jobsift and its browser extension help you find jobs, score them against your resume and plan what to learn. This page says what is collected, where it lives and how to have it removed.

Who runs this

A person, not a company. Bharat Patil runs Jobsift. Questions and requests go to patil.bharat3110@gmail.com.

What the extension does

The extension runs in your own Chrome. When you start a search on the dashboard, it opens the job boards you picked (LinkedIn, Xing, Indeed and karriere.at) in a browser tab, signed in as you, reads the job postings on those pages and sends the postings to your dashboard.

On LinkedIn, the extension reads your own search results, in the order LinkedIn picks for you. While your dashboard is open, it also reads what LinkedIn shows you about your jobs that score 40 or more and show no pay on their public page: their pay, applicants, views and when they were listed. That is one request every 10 to 20 seconds, at most 100 a day, and it stops when you close the dashboard. These requests go only to LinkedIn, as you, the same way LinkedIn's own pages ask for them. What they return is stored with your dashboard account only, never shown to other accounts. You can turn this off in the extension's popup; LinkedIn's public pages are used then.

If you turn on scoring, the extension sends your resume text and each posting to the AI provider you chose, using your own AI key, straight from your browser. The dashboard server never sees that key or those requests.

The extension also runs a small script on the dashboard site, scraper.bharatpatil.dev, so the Connect button can hand it your connection token. It runs that script on no other site.

What stays in your browser only

• Your AI key and your choice of AI provider and model.
• Your job site logins, if you choose to save any.
• Your settings for the extension.

The extension also checks whether this Chrome is signed in to LinkedIn by looking for LinkedIn's sign in cookie. It never keeps the cookie's value or sends it anywhere. The dashboard only learns yes or no, so it can tell you before a search whether LinkedIn will ask you to sign in.

These sit in Chrome's local storage for the extension on your computer. They are never sent to the dashboard server. Removing the extension deletes them.

What the dashboard stores

• Your email address and a hashed password. The password itself is never kept.
• Your resume: the file name and the text taken from it.
• Your profile choices: your profession, your country and the job boards you search by default.
• Your searches and runs, with the progress lines each run writes.
• The job postings found (title, company, place, pay, link and description), your scores for them, the jobs you marked as applied or not interested, and your skill plan.
• One connection token for each computer you connect, kept as a hash so it cannot be read back, with its name and the time it last connected.
• Failed sign in attempts, with the email and network address, for a short while, to slow down password guessing.

The website also keeps your sign in and your light or dark choice in your browser's local storage. It sets no tracking cookies.

What is never collected

Your AI key, your job site passwords, your browsing history, and anything from sites other than the job boards you search and this dashboard. There are no analytics, no advertising and no trackers.

How the data is used

Only to give you the features above: showing your jobs, scoring them, building your plan and keeping your account safe. It is not sold, not shared for advertising, not used to decide credit or lending, and not read by a person except when needed to fix a problem you report. The use of information received by the extension follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Who else handles it

The dashboard runs on Cloudflare (Workers and its D1 database), which holds the data above on the operator's behalf. If you use scoring, your AI provider receives your resume text and the job text under your own account and its own terms. Nobody else receives anything.

Keeping and deleting your data

Your data stays until you ask for it to be removed. To delete your account and everything linked to it, open Settings and press Delete account. It happens at once. If you cannot sign in, email patil.bharat3110@gmail.com from the address you signed up with and I will act on it within 30 days.

You can remove a connected computer on the Extension page at any time, which cuts its access straight away. Removing the extension clears what it kept in your browser.

Security

Everything travels over HTTPS. Passwords are hashed, and connection tokens are stored as hashes.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes with it.
