Privacy Policy
Job Compass is a Chrome extension that ranks jobs against your résumé and helps you apply to them. This document explains what data we collect, where it's stored, how it's used, and — in section 4 below — exactly how Job Compass interacts with data accessed through your Google Account.
It covers both Compass extensions: Job Compass (job search and applications) and Outreach Compass (outreach to investors and buyers). They share one account, one backend and this policy.
1. What we store
- Sign-in identity — when you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and a unique account identifier from Google. We never see your Google password.
- Profile information you enter — resume, contact info, work-authorization status, calendar link.
- Campaigns and outreach you create — companies you target, people you message, drafts you compose, replies you receive.
- Question-answer bank — answers you save while filling LinkedIn Easy Apply forms, so the next form pre-fills.
- LinkedIn-derived metadata — public information about people you choose to add to a campaign (name, headline, company, profile slug). We never store messages from people who haven't replied to you.
- Reply text — when someone replies to an email or LinkedIn message you sent through Job Compass, we store the reply so you can see it in the activity feed.
2. What we do NOT store
- Your LinkedIn password or session cookies (the extension reads your existing browser session — it never sees the credentials).
- Your full LinkedIn inbox or messages from people you didn't contact through Job Compass.
- Anything from sites other than linkedin.com.
- Your full Gmail inbox. The Gmail OAuth scope we request is
gmail.sendonly — it permits sending emails on your behalf and grants no read access to your existing inbox.
3. Where it's stored
- MongoDB Atlas (AWS US-East-1): campaigns, targets, outreach attempts, profile, answer bank, replies. Only our backend can reach this database, and it checks every read and write against your signed-in account, so your data is readable only by your own session.
- Supabase (US-East region): your sign-in (email address and account identifier) and the files you upload to your knowledge base.
- chrome.storage.local on your device — UI preferences, cached search results, sign-in tokens. Wiped if you uninstall the extension.
4. How Job Compass uses Google user data
Limited Use disclosure. Job Compass's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Job Compass does not transfer Google user data to third parties for advertising, does not use Google user data for credit-worthiness or lending purposes, and does not allow humans to read Google user data unless we have your affirmative consent for specific messages, it is necessary for security purposes (such as investigating abuse), to comply with applicable law, or forJob Compass's internal operations and only when the data has been aggregated and anonymized.
4.1 Google data we access
Job Compass requests two groups of Google OAuth scopes, each only when you use the feature that needs it:
- Identity scopes (always requested at sign-in) —
openid,email,profile. Used to look up which Job Compass account you are signing into. We receive your email address, a unique Google account ID (sub), your name, and your profile picture URL. We never receive your Google password. - Gmail send scope (only when you connect Gmail as a sender) —
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send. Used to send email from your own Gmail address, so replies land in your inbox: in Job Compass, a short follow-up to a job's hiring team after you apply, when you turn on Email the hiring team; in Outreach Compass, the outreach emails you approve. When you connect Gmail we also receive that account's email address (theemailscope), to show which mailbox is connected and to send from it. The Gmail send scope grants send-only access — Job Compass cannot read your existing emails, list threads, search your inbox, modify labels, or delete messages. We deliberately do not requestgmail.readonly,gmail.modify, or any other Gmail scope.
4.2 How we use it
- Identity — match your Google sign-in to your existing Job Compassaccount (or create a new one) and pre-fill your profile name + email on first launch so you don't have to retype them. Your profile picture URL is rendered as your avatar in the extension UI; the image is fetched lazily from Google's CDN at render time and is not redownloaded server-side.
- Gmail send: only the email you turned on, from your own address. In Job Compass, when you switch on Email the hiring team, a short note goes to the recruiter or hiring manager after you apply, up to 8 a day on Job Compass Plus, or fewer if you set a lower limit. Each carries a one-click unsubscribe, and nobody who unsubscribed or is on your do-not-contact list is emailed. In Outreach Compass, the outreach emails you approve. Our backend builds each message and calls
users.messages.sendwith the authorization you granted. Besides these emails and a test email to yourself when you press Test, Job Compasssends nothing from your Gmail, and it never reads, searches or changes your mail.
4.3 How we share it
Job Compass does not sell Google user data, does not share Google user data with advertisers or analytics platforms, and does not use Google user data to train any AI/ML model. Specific data flows:
- Email + name + sub are used by our own backend (hosted on AWS App Runner US-East) for account authentication, and kept with Supabase, our sign-in provider, and in MongoDB Atlas, our database. Neither uses them for anything else, and they are not sent to any other third party.
- Gmail refresh token is encrypted (AES-256-GCM) with a key kept only in our server's environment, and stored in MongoDB Atlas in the record of the mailbox you connected. The token is never logged, never sent to a third party, and never shared with another Job Compass user. It is used only by our backend to call
users.messages.sendon your behalf. - Email body content you compose may pass through OpenAI or Anthropic when you ask Job Compass to draft outreach copy. Both providers have data-processing agreements that prohibit training on submitted content. The body is never logged with any third party other than the chosen LLM provider for the duration of the request.
4.4 How we store and protect it
- Storage location — MongoDB Atlas in AWS US-East-1, encrypted at rest. All transport is HTTPS / TLS 1.2+.
- Access control — our backend ties every record to your
user_idor visitor ID. The Job Compassbackend enforces an authorization check on every read and write. The Gmail refresh token is stored encrypted, and the key is kept in the server's environment, not in the database. Access to production systems is limited to the people who run the service, and only to run and repair it. - Token lifecycle — the Gmail access token lasts about an hour. When you remove the mailbox, we revoke the refresh token at Google and delete our copy. When you delete your Job Compass account, it is deleted with the rest of your data.
- Incident response — if we detect or are notified of a security incident affecting Google user data, we will notify affected users within 72 hours by email and via an in-extension banner.
4.5 How long we keep it + how to delete it
- Retention — Google identity data (email, name, sub, picture URL) is retained for the lifetime of your Job Compass account. Gmail OAuth refresh tokens are retained until you remove the mailbox or delete your account. For each email sent we keep a record of the recipient, the time and the delivery status, so you can see your history. We keep nothing read from Gmail, because Job Compass reads none.
- Disconnect Gmail — in Job Compass, open the account menu, then Mailbox, and press Delete on your Gmail row; in Outreach Compass, open Outreach settings, then Senders, and press Delete on your Gmail row. Job Compass revokes the grant at Google, deletes its copy of the token and can no longer send. You can also visit myaccount.google.com/permissions to revoke Job Compass's access from Google's side independently.
- Delete all data — email support@insightron.ai and we will permanently delete every row keyed to your account — including all Google identity fields and the encrypted refresh token — within 7 days. We will email confirmation when the deletion completes. You can also uninstall the extension to wipe local-device storage immediately.
5. Other third parties we send data to
Job Compass uses the following non-Google services. Each is contacted only when required for a feature you actively use:
- Hunter.io — verifies the format of email addresses before you send to them. We send the email address being validated.
- AgentMail — sends emails on your behalf when you choose AgentMail (instead of Gmail) as a sender, and notifies us when replies arrive. We send the recipient address, subject, and body of emails you choose to send.
- OpenAI and Anthropic — generate AI-suggested answers to job-application questions, draft outreach copy, and parse resume text. We send the prompt for each request; we do not train any model on your data.
- Coresignal — provides salary and headcount benchmarks for the jobs you view. Anonymous job IDs only.
- Browser Use — drives a headless browser to recover when LinkedIn changes its private API. Triggered automatically when searches return empty results; no per-user data is sent.
6. Permissions we request
- storage, alarms — save your data and run the weekly LinkedIn-sync background job.
- tabs, scripting — open LinkedIn pages and inject the floating overlay so you can search and apply without leaving LinkedIn.
- downloads — let you export prospect lists as CSV.
- identity — power the Google sign-in flow.
- linkedin.com host access — read your existing LinkedIn session so you can search, view profiles, and send messages without manually copying anything.
7. Your rights
- See all your data — every screen in Job Compass is a view of your data. Nothing is hidden.
- Delete your data — email support@insightron.ai and we'll delete every row keyed to your account within 7 days. You can also uninstall the extension to wipe local storage.
- Export your data — same email; we'll send a JSON dump within 7 days.
- Revoke Google access at the source — myaccount.google.com/permissions.
8. Compliance with platform policies
Job Compassuses LinkedIn's user-facing surfaces (the same APIs your browser already calls). We respect rate limits and a quiet-hours window. You are responsible for using the extension within LinkedIn's User Agreement.
Job Compass is built and operated solely by 4UGUSTA Systems. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google or LinkedIn.
9. Changes to this policy
Material changes will be announced via an in-extension banner and an email to your sign-in address. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
