Privacy Policy

JobYet (“we”, “our”, or “the App”) is a job application tracking app designed to help users save, organize, review, and manage job opportunities, application progress, and interview information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information JobYet collects, how it is used, and what choices you have.

Information We Collect

JobYet is designed as a local-first app. Most information you enter into the App is stored locally on your device.

Information stored on your device

You may choose to save information such as:

• Job title
• Company name
• Job location
• Salary information
• Work type
• Source platform
• Job URL
• Job description summary
• Job requirements
• Recruiter or contact information
• Notes
• Application status
• Interview rounds, dates, times, links, locations, reminders, and notes
• Raw OCR text generated from job-posting screenshots

This information is stored locally on your device and is not stored in a JobYet user account or cloud database operated by us.

Photo Library and Screenshot Processing

JobYet may request access to your Photo Library so you can select job-posting screenshots for import.

Photo Library access is used only for selecting screenshots that you choose. JobYet does not access your entire photo library automatically.

When you select screenshots, OCR text recognition is performed locally on your device using Apple’s on-device technologies. The screenshot images themselves are not uploaded by JobYet for OCR processing.

Smart Scan

JobYet includes a feature called Smart Scan, which helps extract structured job information from OCR text.

When you use Smart Scan:

• The screenshot image is not sent to our extraction service.
• Only the OCR text recognized from the selected screenshot may be sent to our backend extraction service.
• The backend service processes the OCR text to return editable job information, such as job title, company, location, salary, work type, summary, requirements, and related fields.
• Smart Scan results may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misread, so you should review and edit the information before saving.

Our backend extraction service is operated through Cloudflare Workers and may use a third-party AI service provider, currently DeepSeek, to process OCR text and generate structured job information.

We use Smart Scan data only to provide the extraction feature. We do not intentionally store screenshots or extracted job records on our servers after the extraction process is completed.

Notifications and Live Activities

JobYet may request notification permission to send interview reminders.

If you enable interview reminders, the App may use the date, time, and interview information you entered to schedule local notifications on your device.

JobYet may also use iOS Live Activities to show an interview countdown on supported devices. This information is used only to provide the countdown and reminder experience.

Purchases and Subscriptions

JobYet may offer paid subscription plans through Apple’s in-app purchase system.

Purchases, subscription status, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and payment information are handled by Apple. We do not receive or store your full payment card information.

The App may use StoreKit to check your subscription entitlement and Smart Scan quota.

How We Use Information

We use information you provide or generate in the App to:

• Save and display your job applications
• Organize your job search progress
• Help extract job information through Smart Scan
• Provide interview reminders and countdowns
• Show job search insights and statistics
• Enable subscription-related features
• Improve app functionality and reliability

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not use your information for third-party advertising.

Third-Party Services

JobYet may rely on the following third-party services:

Apple

Apple may process information related to App Store downloads, in-app purchases, subscriptions, device permissions, notifications, and system services.

Cloudflare

JobYet’s Smart Scan backend may be hosted on Cloudflare Workers. OCR text sent for Smart Scan may pass through Cloudflare infrastructure in order to provide the extraction service.

DeepSeek

JobYet’s backend may send OCR text to DeepSeek’s API to generate structured job information for Smart Scan.

These third-party services may process data according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Data Storage and Retention

Most job application data is stored locally on your device.

You may delete saved jobs inside the App. You may also remove locally stored App data by deleting the App from your device.

For Smart Scan, OCR text may be transmitted temporarily to our backend service and third-party AI provider for processing. We do not intentionally keep OCR text, screenshots, or extracted job records on our servers after the Smart Scan request is completed, unless required for security, debugging, legal compliance, or service reliability.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed by JobYet.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. You should avoid adding highly sensitive information to job notes or screenshots unless necessary.

Your Choices

You can:

• Use JobYet manually without Smart Scan.
• Decline Photo Library access, although screenshot import may not work.
• Decline notification permission, although interview reminders may not work.
• Review and edit Smart Scan results before saving.
• Delete saved jobs in the App.
• Delete the App to remove locally stored data from your device.
• Manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple ID settings.

Children’s Privacy

JobYet is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

International Users

JobYet may be available in multiple regions. By using Smart Scan, you understand that OCR text may be processed through servers or third-party service providers that may be located outside your country or region.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the Effective Date above.

Your continued use of JobYet after any update means you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
