How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Local Storage

The extension stores your profile information (previous job, skills, and interests) in your browser's local storage. This data is stored only on your device and is not automatically transmitted to our servers. This storage allows the extension to remember your information between sessions.

The extension uses the following third-party services:

• OpenAI API: We use OpenAI's API to generate career recommendations and answer your questions. When you use these features, your profile information and questions are sent to OpenAI. Please review OpenAI's privacy policy for information on how they handle data.
• Grok API: We may use Grok's API as an alternative service for generating career recommendations and answers. When this service is used, your profile information and questions are sent to Grok. Please review Grok's privacy policy for information on how they handle data.
• GigFinder.co: Our extension contains a link to GigFinder.co. If you click this link, you will be directed to their website, which operates under its own privacy policy.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, please be aware that no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy (i.e., to the AI service providers necessary to deliver the extension's functionality).
