your data, in plain words.

Last updated November 11, 2026

jobsmaxxing is run by Cook Labs in California. This page says what we keep about you, why, and how to get it deleted. Questions: john.r.cook@icloud.com.

What we keep

Your account. Your email address. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your name and email with us. We never see your password; Clerk handles it.
Your resume. The text of the resume you paste or upload, and the Experience Bank we build from it (your roles, dates, bullet points and education). We read the text out of an uploaded file and do not keep the file itself.
The jobs you save. For each job you save with the plugin: the page address, its title, the text of the job post (up to 30,000 characters), and the company, title, location and pay we read from it.
The resumes we make for you, so you can open them again from your tracker.
Your subscription. Stripe takes your card on its own page. We never see your card number. We keep your Stripe customer ID and whether your plan is active.

The Chrome plugin

What it reads. Only when you click its icon, it reads the tab you are on: the page address, title and visible text. It sends them to us to check that the page is a job post and to show the company and role. If you do not click save, we keep nothing from that page.
What it does not read. Other tabs, pages you do not open it on, your browsing history, passwords or form fields.
What it keeps on your computer. A sign-in key for your account, and the jobs it is watching so it can tell you when a resume is ready. Disconnect the plugin in Settings and the key stops working. Remove the plugin from Chrome and both are deleted from your computer.
Why it asks for each permission. Reading the current tab, only when you click the icon, to save the job. Storage, for the sign-in key and the watched jobs. Notifications, to say a resume is ready. Alarms, to keep checking after Chrome pauses the plugin. Access to jobsmaxxing.com, to connect to your account.
The use of information the plugin receives follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How we use it

Only to run jobsmaxxing: sign you in, build your Experience Bank, write a resume for each job you save, and bill your plan. We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or show ads.

Cookies

We use only the cookies that keep you signed in, set by Clerk. Our visit counts use no cookies. Stripe sets its own cookies on its checkout page.

How long we keep it, and deleting it

We keep your data while you have an account. To see what we hold or to delete your account and everything in it, email john.r.cook@icloud.com from the address on your account. We delete it within 30 days. Canceling your plan in Settings stops billing but does not delete your data. Stripe keeps payment records as the law requires.

Changes

If we change this policy, we update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects how we use data you already gave us, we email you first.
