Privacy Policy for Fapply

Effective Date: May 21, 2024

1. Introduction

Welcome to Fapply ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Chrome extension ("Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

To provide and improve our AI-powered job application service, we collect the following types of data. The collection of this data is essential for the core functionality of the extension.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

We collect PII that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name, email address, phone number, physical address, work history, and educational background. This information is used to populate your Fapply profile and automatically fill out job applications on your behalf.

Authentication Information

We collect authentication information for your Fapply account (username, password) to secure your profile. The Service may also store credentials for third-party job board websites if you choose to save them. This information is used solely to log in to those sites as directed by you to submit applications. All sensitive authentication data is stored using strong, industry-standard encryption.

Personal Communications

To tailor job applications, our Service needs to access the content of your professional documents, such as resumes and cover letters, that you upload or paste into the Fapply extension. This allows our AI to extract key skills and experiences to accurately complete application fields. We do not monitor your personal emails, texts, or unrelated chat messages.

Web History and Website Content

For the extension to function, it must identify job application pages. We collect your web history to detect when you are on a compatible job portal. We also analyze the website content (text, form fields, HTML structure) of these pages to understand the layout and correctly place your information into the application form.

User Activity

We collect data about your interactions on web pages where the extension is active. This includes clicks, mouse movements, scrolling, and keyboard input. This data is used for two primary purposes:

We do not log keystrokes or monitor activity on websites unrelated to the job application process.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others.

We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting (for data storage) and AI model providers (to power our features). These third parties are contractually obligated to safeguard your data and are prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than to provide services for us.

We may also disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

5. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. We use encryption for sensitive data like passwords both in transit and at rest. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

6. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, such as maintaining your Fapply account. You can delete your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you. You can manage your profile information directly within the Fapply extension. If you wish to delete your account entirely, please contact us at the email address below.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from a child, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
