Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 August 2026

Tailor Resume ("Tailor Resume", "we", "us", or "our") provides a browser extension and web application designed to help users compare their resumes with job descriptions and identify relevant, missing, and related skills.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it is shared, and the choices available to you when using the Tailor Resume browser extension and associated services.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account information

When you create or use a Tailor Resume account, we may collect:

  • Email address
  • Authentication information required to maintain your account
  • Subscription and billing information
  • API usage information
  • User preferences, such as custom skills and ignored skills

Payment information is processed by our payment provider and is not stored directly by Tailor Resume.

1.2 Resume information

When you upload a resume to Tailor Resume, we may process information contained in that resume, including:

  • Name and contact information
  • Employment history
  • Education
  • Skills
  • Qualifications
  • Other information included in the uploaded resume

The resume is processed to provide the resume-tailoring and job-matching functionality of the service.

1.3 Job descriptions

The Tailor Resume browser extension can read job descriptions from supported job websites when you use the extension.

Depending on how you use the extension, we may process:

  • Job title
  • Company name
  • Job description
  • Skills and requirements contained in the job description
  • The URL of the job posting
  • Information necessary to identify or process the job posting

This information is used to compare the job requirements against your resume and provide the results displayed by Tailor Resume.

1.4 Usage and technical information

We may collect technical information necessary to operate and secure the service, including:

  • IP address
  • Browser and device information
  • Requests made to our API
  • Timestamps and usage information
  • Error and diagnostic information
  • Information relating to authentication and security events

We may use this information to monitor service availability, prevent abuse, enforce usage limits, and diagnose technical problems.

2. Browser Extension Permissions

The Tailor Resume browser extension requires access to supported job websites so that it can identify and process job descriptions.

The extension may read content from a supported job page when you explicitly use its functionality. This information is used to perform the requested resume and job-description analysis.

The extension does not use access to supported websites to collect unrelated browsing activity.

The extension does not intentionally collect information from websites that is unrelated to the Tailor Resume functionality.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • Provide and operate Tailor Resume
  • Analyze job descriptions against your resume
  • Identify matching skills
  • Identify skills that match through aliases or related terminology
  • Identify potentially missing skills
  • Store and apply your custom and ignored skill preferences
  • Maintain your account
  • Authenticate users
  • Process subscriptions and payments
  • Enforce API and usage limits
  • Provide customer support
  • Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents
  • Diagnose errors and improve reliability
  • Maintain and improve the service

We do not use your resume or job application information to make employment decisions about you.

The purpose of this processing is to identify relevant skills and provide resume-tailoring functionality.

Tailor Resume does not make hiring, employment, or recruitment decisions on behalf of employers.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with service providers that are necessary to operate Tailor Resume. These providers may process information on our behalf for purposes such as:

  • Hosting and infrastructure
  • Database services
  • Email delivery and authentication
  • Payment processing
  • Error monitoring and service diagnostics

These providers are permitted to process information only as necessary to provide their services to us.

We may also disclose information where required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, security, and property of Tailor Resume, our users, or others.

5. Job Boards and Third-Party Websites

Tailor Resume can operate on third-party job websites, including supported job boards and applicant-tracking platforms.

Those websites have their own privacy policies and terms of service. Tailor Resume is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites.

When you use the Tailor Resume extension on a supported website, information from that website may be processed by Tailor Resume as described in this Privacy Policy.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Tailor Resume web application may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:

  • Authentication
  • Security
  • Maintaining user sessions
  • Protecting against cross-site request forgery
  • Maintaining necessary application functionality

The browser extension may also use browser storage where necessary to maintain extension state or configuration.

We do not use the browser extension to track your general browsing activity across unrelated websites.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through Tailor Resume.

These measures may include encrypted HTTPS connections, authentication controls, access controls, and other security measures appropriate to the nature of the information being processed.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain accounts, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain security.

The retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Where information is no longer required, we may delete or anonymize it in accordance with our operational and legal requirements.

10. UK and European Users

If you are located in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, applicable data-protection laws, including the UK GDPR or EU GDPR where applicable, may provide you with additional rights.
