Privacy policy

Job Scanner - last updated 10 November 2026

Who this applies to

Job Scanner is a personal tool used by one person, its author, on that person's own computer. This policy describes what happens to the Google account data the tool is granted access to.

What data is accessed

The tool requests a single Google scope, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly. That grants read access to the mailbox of the account that authorises it. In practice the tool reads message headers and bodies, and keeps a summary of messages relating to job applications.

How the data is used

Solely to show the mailbox owner where each job application stands. No other use is made of it.

Storage and location

Data is stored only on the author's own computer, in local files. There is no server, no cloud database, and no third-party processor. Mail content is not transmitted anywhere: no analytics, no telemetry, no model training, no advertising.

Sharing

None. Google user data is not sold, rented, transferred, or disclosed to any third party, and is not used for any purpose other than the one described above.

Retention and deletion

Mail bodies are discarded once classification has been applied; only the derived summary of an application is kept. Deleting the local store removes everything the tool holds. Revoking the app's access at myaccount.google.com/permissions removes its ability to read the mailbox at any time.

Google API Services User Data Policy

Use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Changes

Any change to this policy will be published on this page with a new date.
