Job Applications Tracker ("the app") is a personal tool for tracking job applications, interviews, and offers. This page explains what data the app collects and how it's used.
What we collect
- Account info: when you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google to create and identify your account. We don't receive or request access to your Gmail, contacts, calendar, or any other Google data.
- Job application data: the companies, roles, statuses, notes, interview details, and attachment links you enter into the app.
- API key: if you generate an API key, a random token is stored on your account to authenticate requests you make to the app's API.
How it's stored
Data is stored in a self-hosted Appwrite backend and is only accessible from your authenticated account. We don't sell, share, or use your data for advertising.
Cookies & local storage
When you sign in, our backend (Appwrite) sets a session cookie on its own domain to keep you signed in — this app doesn't set any tracking or advertising cookies. We also store one small flag in your browser's local storage that just remembers "you were recently signed in," so the homepage can send you straight to the app instead of showing the marketing page first; it's cleared when you sign out and isn't used for tracking or analytics.
Third parties
Google is used solely for authentication (sign-in). We don't share your data with any other third party.
Your data
You can delete individual job entries at any time from within the app. To request deletion of your account and all associated data, contact us using the details below.
