Job Application Tracker (Chrome extension) — last updated 10 September 2026
When you save a job posting, it records the page's URL and title, the company and role read from that page, the date you saved it, and the status you choose. That is the whole list.
All of it is written to Chrome's local storage on your device. None of it is transmitted anywhere. There is no server to send it to, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party services and no account system.
Because saved postings include page URLs and titles, this counts as handling web history and website content under the Chrome Web Store's definitions, and it is disclosed as such on the store listing. Chrome requires that disclosure even for data that never leaves your device — which is the case here. The extension reads a page only to pull out the company and job title, and only on the click that saves it.
When you click Save this page, the extension stores the company name, job title, page URL,
the date, and the status you choose. This is written to
chrome.storage.local, Chrome's local storage area on your own device. It is not synced
across devices and is not readable by any website or by the developer.
storage — to keep your list on this device.activeTab — to read the title and URL of the tab you are viewing, only at the
moment you click the extension icon.scripting — to run a small reader on that page to pick out the company and role.The extension requests no host permissions, so it has no standing access to any website. It cannot read a page unless you click its icon while on that page, and it reads nothing beyond the job details described above.
Remove any entry with the ✕ button, or uninstall the extension to delete everything at once. Because the data exists only on your device, uninstalling is a complete deletion — there is no copy to request the removal of. Use Export CSV first if you want to keep a backup.
Since no data is collected from anyone, none is collected from children.
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date. Any change that would involve collecting data would also require a new permission, which Chrome shows you before it takes effect.
