Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 23, 2026 | Last Updated: July 23, 2026
Welcome to JobStoryVault ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect information when you use our website, applications, and services (collectively, the "Services").
By using JobStoryVault, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
JSVGO Browser Extension
JSVGO helps you capture selected job postings and use your career profile when preparing applications. When you request a capture, it reads posting content and its URL, including available title, employer, description, location, work arrangement, and compensation details. Information you choose to save is sent to your JobStoryVault account. It does not collect your general browsing history or scrape pages in the background.
The extension stores a session token and cached profile information locally to maintain your connection. Career Clipboard copies information only when you choose a copy action. Autofill reads supported application fields and fills them after your confirmation; it does not submit applications. Disconnecting clears the locally stored session and cached profile. Saved account records remain subject to your account deletion and privacy controls.
Troubleshooting events are kept locally for up to seven days, limited to the latest 100 events. These contain action names, timing, success status, and numeric status codes, not page text, URLs, account identifiers, or tokens. You can clear or download diagnostics and choose whether to share them with support.
Notwithstanding broader provisions elsewhere in this policy, data obtained through JSVGO is used only to provide or improve its user-facing job-search and application features. We do not sell this data, use it for advertising, creditworthiness or lending, or transfer it for unrelated purposes. These limits also apply to aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified data obtained through the extension. Transfers are limited to service providers necessary to deliver these features, user-authorized actions, and uses permitted by the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
For extension support, contact jsvsupport@jobstoryvault.com. For privacy or deletion requests, contact privacy@jobstoryvault.com.
