Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 October 2026

Job Hunter helps a person manage their own job search. This policy explains what the application reads, what it stores, and how to revoke access.

Who runs it

Job Hunter is operated by Xelsus.ai. Contact: fmir86@gmail.com.

What the application accesses

With your explicit consent, Job Hunter requests these Google permissions:

gmail.readonly — to read job-alert emails already sent to you by job sites.
userinfo.email — to show which mailbox is connected.

The application only queries messages from job-alert senders: LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Get on Board, We Work Remotely, Wellfound, Remote OK and Welcome to the Jungle. That query is fixed in the source code and is displayed in the application before you connect. Google does not offer a per-sender permission, so this restriction is enforced by the application itself.

Job Hunter never sends, deletes, labels or modifies anything in your mailbox. Access is read-only.

What it stores

From each alert email: the job title, company, location and link of each posting.
The profile you enter yourself, and the CVs you generate from it.
Which postings you saved, dismissed or applied to, and the resulting scores.
The Google authorisation token needed to read later.

Message bodies are parsed to extract those fields and are not retained. Email from any other sender is never read, stored or processed.

Where it is stored

Job Hunter runs locally. Data lives in a database file on the computer where the application is installed. There is no central server collecting user mailboxes.

Limited Use

Job Hunter's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Specifically, data obtained from Gmail is:

used only to provide the job-search features visible to you in the application;
never sold, rented or shared with third parties;
never used for advertising or profiling;
never used to train or improve any machine learning or artificial intelligence model;
never read by a human, except where you explicitly ask for support or where required by law.

Third parties

Job postings are also collected from public job board APIs. Those requests contain search terms, never your personal data. If you enable AI-assisted scoring, the posting text and the profile you wrote are sent to the AI provider you configure, under your own account; your email content is not sent.

Revoking access and deleting data

In the application: Connections → Disconnect. The stored token is deleted immediately.
In your Google account: Third-party apps with account access → remove Job Hunter.
To delete everything else, delete the application's database file, or write to the address above and it will be done for you.

Status and liability

Job Hunter is in development and is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. Xelsus.ai accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from its use. See the terms of use on the home page.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Material changes affecting what is read or stored will be shown in the application before they take effect.
