Privacy policy

jobtriage is a personal job search tool operated by Cold Start Consulting. It is used only by its developer, with their own Google account. This policy describes how it accesses, uses, stores, and shares Google user data.

Data accessed

With the account owner's permission, jobtriage uses the Gmail API with read-only access (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly). It searches for job-related messages, such as job alerts and messages from employer application systems, and reads their sender, subject, date, and body.

How data is used

Email content is used only to provide jobtriage's features to the account owner: classifying messages (for example, application confirmation or rejection), extracting the employer and job title, ranking job alerts, and producing a daily digest and a weekly activity summary. jobtriage never sends, deletes, labels, or modifies email.

Storage

Retrieved messages and results are stored in a private database controlled by the account owner, on their own computer and in their private GitHub repository's Actions cache. Data is not sold and is not used for advertising.

Sharing

To classify messages, jobtriage sends message content to Anthropic's Claude API, which processes it and returns a classification. No other third party receives Google user data. Data is not shared for advertising, sold, or used to train general-purpose AI models.

Limited Use

jobtriage's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Retention and deletion

The account owner can delete all stored data at any time by deleting the database, and can revoke jobtriage's access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
