• To save your resume locally in your browser for convenient reuse
• To provide and improve our extension's functionality

Data Storage

Your data is handled as follows:

• Local Storage: Your resume and preferences are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Temporary Processing: When you generate a cover letter, your resume and job description are temporarily sent to the Gemini API for processing. This data is not stored by us beyond the generation process.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. Your resume data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's secure storage mechanisms. Transmissions to the Gemini API are encrypted using industry-standard protocols. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your data:

• Access and Deletion: You can view and delete your saved resume at any time through the extension's interface.
• Data Portability: Your resume data is stored locally and can be exported or removed at your discretion.
• Opt-Out: You can stop using the extension at any time by uninstalling it from your browser, which will remove all locally stored data.

Data Retention

We do not retain your data on our servers. All personal information (resume, preferences) is stored locally on your device and will remain there until you choose to delete it or uninstall the extension. Data sent to the Gemini API for cover letter generation is processed transiently and is subject to Google's data retention policies.
