Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 February 2026

In plain English

We collect your email and the job application data you add to the app so we can create and maintain your account and show you your job search history.

Your data is stored securely and is only accessible to you when you sign in to your account. We don't sell or share your data with third parties, except the providers we use to run the service (like MongoDB and Vercel).

This is a portfolio project, the code may be viewable on GitHub, but it's not licensed for reuse.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Job Tracker. This is a personal portfolio project that demonstrates production-ready development practices.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our job application tracking service. We've tried to keep this clear and readable—if anything seems confusing, please reach out.

2. What information we collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your email address.

If you use Google sign-in, we also receive basic profile information provided by Google (typically your name and profile picture). We use this solely for authentication and display purposes.

Job application data

We store the job application information you enter, including:

  • Company names, positions, and locations
  • Application status (e.g., "Applied," "Interviewing," "Offer")
  • Notes, salary information, and closing dates
  • Any links or files you add related to the application

This data is stored securely and is only accessible to you. We don't share it with anyone or use it for any purpose other than providing the service to you.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and maintain the Job Tracker service
  • Authenticate your identity when you log in
  • Store and manage your job application data
  • Improve the service based on general usage patterns (not your personal data)

That's it. We don't sell your data, show you ads, or use it for marketing.

4. Data security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • All data transmission is encrypted using HTTPS
  • Your data is stored in secure, encrypted databases (MongoDB Atlas)
  • Access to your data is restricted to you via authentication

While we take security seriously, please remember that no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Use a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication if available.

5. How long we keep your data

Your data is retained as long as your account is active. If you want to remove your data, you can delete your account at any time, which will permanently remove all associated information from our systems.

(Note: Account deletion is currently in development. For now, please open an issue on GitHub if you need to delete your account.)

6. Third-party services

We use the following third-party services to operate Job Tracker:

  • MongoDB – Database hosting
  • Vercel – Application hosting and deployment
  • Google OAuth – Optional sign-in method

These services have their own privacy policies and security practices. We chose them because they're trusted by thousands of developers and companies.

7. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data (you can view it in the app anytime)
  • Update or correct your data (edit it directly in the app)
  • Delete your account and all associated data
  • Export your data (contact us if you need a data export)

If you have questions about exercising these rights, please reach out via GitHub.

8. Cookies and tracking

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and maintain your session. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, if appropriate, notify you via email or in-app message.

By continuing to use the service after changes take effect, you agree to the updated policy.

10. Source code transparency

Job Tracker is a portfolio project, and the source code may be publicly viewable on GitHub. This means you can review how we handle your data by looking at the code yourself, even though it's not licensed for reuse.

This level of transparency is rare for most apps—we want you to trust us because you can verify how things work, not just take our word for it.

11. Contact

For privacy-related questions or requests, please open an issue on our GitHub repository. We're happy to help clarify anything or address your concerns.
