Privacy Policy
Jobi is your AI job-application companion. This policy explains, in plain language, what data Jobi collects, why, who it is shared with, and the controls you have. We aim to collect only what Jobi needs to do its job.
1. Who we are
Jobi is operated by Mahin Sattar Jahan, an independent developer based in London, United Kingdom ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. For any privacy question, or to exercise your rights, email support@jobi.life.
Under the UK GDPR, our legal bases for using your data are: performing our contract with you, to provide the features you ask Jobi to carry out; your consent, for optional features you switch on, such as microphone and voice and reading the current tab, which you can turn off at any time; and our legitimate interests in keeping the service secure, preventing abuse, and improving Jobi. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
2. What we collect
We only collect what Jobi needs to help you apply for jobs. Specifically:
- Account details: your email, and (if you sign in with Google) your name and profile picture. Sign-in is handled by our authentication provider (Supabase).
- Your profile: the details you add or that Jobi extracts from your CV, such as preferred and full name, target role, location, salary expectation, phone number, a short bio, work experience, education, skills, certifications, and your portfolio and LinkedIn links.
- Documents: CVs, cover letters, and portfolio case studies you upload or link. We store the extracted text so Jobi can use it. We do not keep the original uploaded file after extraction.
- Job tracker: jobs you save, the job-description text, and any cover letters or tailored CVs Jobi generates for them.
- Saved links: reusable links (for example your portfolio) you choose to save.
- Activity history: lightweight signals such as which roles you applied to or viewed, used to personalise Jobi.
- Jobi's memory: a short, AI-written summary Jobi distils about you (your goals, constraints, and writing style) so it can be more helpful over time. You can view a copy of this in your data export, and clear it at any time.
- Chat messages: the conversations you have with Jobi.
- Usage counters: simple counts used to enforce fair-use limits.
What we do NOT collect:
- Jobi uses only the storage it needs to keep you signed in and remember your settings.
- No general browsing history. Jobi only reads a web page's content when you ask it to (for example when you tap Analyse JD, Autofill, or ask about "this page"), or to detect whether the current tab is a job posting, which is done locally in your browser and is not sent anywhere unless you then act on it. You can turn current-tab reading off in Settings.
- No payment card details. If paid plans are enabled, card details are handled entirely by Stripe and never reach Jobi's servers.
Sensitive information. Some of what you write, especially in a CV or cover letter, can reveal special-category data such as health or disability, racial or ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, or trade-union membership. Jobi does not ask for this and does not intentionally process it. Please do not include it in what you give Jobi. If it appears incidentally in something you upload or write, it is processed only as part of that document to provide the feature you asked for, and you can edit or delete that content at any time.
3. Who your data is shared with (sub-processors)
To do its work, Jobi sends some of your data to the trusted service providers below. Each receives only what it needs for its task. We do not sell your personal data.
| Provider | What it does | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic (Claude) | Generates Jobi's AI responses, cover letters, CV tailoring, JD analysis, and company research | Your profile, CV and document text, chat messages, job details, and current-page text when you use an AI feature |
| Supabase | Database and sign-in / authentication hosting | Everything listed in section 2 that Jobi stores |
| Railway | Hosts Jobi's backend server | Requests pass through it in transit |
| Google (Gemini), ElevenLabs | Text-to-speech voices for the mock interview | Only the interviewer's question text (never your profile or CV) |
| PDFShift | Renders a cover letter into a PDF | The cover-letter document (your name, contact details, and the letter body) |
| logo.dev | Shows company logos | Only the public company name, never your personal data |
| Stripe | Payments (if paid plans are enabled) | Your billing details, handled entirely by Stripe |
We ask our AI providers not to use your data to train their models where that option is offered. Each provider's own privacy terms also apply to the data they receive.
Some of these providers are based outside the UK, including in the United States. Where your data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the provider operating under Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, or an adequacy decision.
4. Microphone and voice
The optional mock-interview and dictation features use your browser's built-in speech recognition to turn your speech into text. Jobi itself does not record, upload, or store your microphone audio, only the resulting text (your answer) is used. Note that in some browsers, including Google Chrome, speech recognition is performed by the browser by sending audio to the browser maker's own speech service. That processing is governed by your browser's privacy policy, not Jobi's. Microphone access is only requested when you start a voice feature, and is released immediately afterwards.
5. How your data is protected
- All data sent between the Jobi extension, our server, and our providers travels over encrypted HTTPS/TLS.
- Stored data lives in our database provider (Supabase), which encrypts data at rest.
- Access to your data is restricted to your own account; the extension holds your sign-in token on your device only.
6. Your controls and rights
From Settings, Privacy & data, you can, at any time:
- Export my data: download a machine-readable copy of everything Jobi stores about you.
- Reset Jobi's memory: erase the AI-written summary Jobi keeps about you.
- Clear activity history: delete your applied/viewed-role history.
- Clear on-device data: wipe the copy cached on this device (your account is untouched).
- Delete account: permanently and irreversibly erase your account and all associated data from Jobi's database.
You can also delete individual saved jobs, documents, and links in the app. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, objection) or the CCPA/CPRA (know, delete, correct, and opt out of "sale"/"sharing", which Jobi does not do). To exercise any of these, use the in-app controls or contact us at support@jobi.life. If you are in the UK and we have not resolved your concern, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
7. Data retention
We keep your data for as long as your account exists so Jobi can help you. When you delete your account, your data is removed from our database. Data already sent to a sub-processor is retained and deleted according to that provider's terms.
8. Children
Jobi is not directed at children and is intended for users aged 16 and over.
9. Changes
We will update this policy as Jobi evolves and revise the "last updated" date above.
