Privacy Policy

1. Who this applies to

This Privacy Policy applies to TalentKin, LLC ("TalentKin," "we," "us") and to our products: the JobNugget Chrome / Edge browser extension, the JobNugget Desktop application for Windows and macOS, and the talentkin.com website. By using any of these, you agree to the practices described below.

If you do not agree with this policy, please don't install our extension or use our applications.

2. Information we collect

We've designed JobNugget to be as local-first as possible. Here is the complete list of what we have access to:

From the browser extension

• Nothing on our servers. The extension does not send your data to TalentKin. Everything you configure (API key, resume, filters, saved jobs) is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage API.
• Browser-reported metadata (handled by the Chrome Web Store and Edge Add-ons, not by us): install / uninstall events, extension version, and aggregate usage counts. We may see these in our developer dashboard but cannot tie them to individual users.

From the website

• Standard web server logs (handled by our hosting provider): IP address, browser type, pages visited, referrer, timestamp. These are used to operate the site and detect abuse. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising cookies.

If you email us

• Your email address and message contents. Used only to respond to you. We do not add you to a marketing list without your explicit opt-in.

3. What we don't collect

For the avoidance of doubt, JobNugget does not:

• Collect your browsing history
• Send your resume or job descriptions to any TalentKin server
• Store or have access to your Anthropic API key
• Sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or third parties
• Use your data to train AI or machine learning models
• Track you across sites or build a profile of you
• Include analytics SDKs, telemetry, fingerprinting libraries, or session replay tools

4. Third-party services

JobNugget depends on one third-party service to do its job: Anthropic (the maker of Claude AI).

How Anthropic is involved

When the extension scores a job listing or classifies an email, it sends the relevant text (job description, your resume summary, or email contents) directly from your device to Anthropic's API. Your own Anthropic API key authenticates the request. This data does not pass through any TalentKin server.

Anthropic's handling of that data is governed by their own privacy policy and terms, which you accepted when you created your Anthropic account. We recommend reviewing them: anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

Job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Dice, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor)

The extension reads job listing content directly in your browser as you visit these sites. We don't have a relationship with these companies, don't share data with them beyond what your normal browser sends, and don't bypass their access controls or login requirements.

5. Data stored on your device

The extension stores the following items in your browser's local storage:

• Your Anthropic API key — needed to make AI calls on your behalf
• Your resume (raw text and AI-generated summary)
• Your filter preferences — target job titles, location, radius, salary minimum, theme choice
• Saved jobs list — listings you've explicitly saved
• Filtered-out log — listings the extension has automatically dismissed, so you can review or restore them

You can clear all of this at any time by either using the extension's "Reset all data" option in Settings, or by uninstalling the extension (which removes everything in chrome.storage.local automatically).

6. Job board interactions

When you have the extension installed and you visit a supported job board, JobNugget reads the listings visible on the page (the same way your browser already does to display them to you), fetches the full job description for each listing, and sends that text along with a summary of your resume to Anthropic for scoring.

The extension does not log in to your job board accounts, doesn't apply to jobs on your behalf, doesn't post or message anyone, and doesn't modify the pages you visit beyond inserting its own UI overlay (the fit score badges, filter banners, etc.).

7. Email Triage (Desktop app)

The JobNugget Desktop application (Windows / macOS, currently in development) connects to your email account using credentials you provide and uses IMAP to read your inbox. As with the browser extension:

• Your email credentials are stored locally in the OS's secure credential store (Windows Credential Manager / macOS Keychain).
• Email contents are sent directly from your machine to Anthropic for classification using your own API key. They are not sent to any TalentKin server.
• Triage results (which emails were marked as interviews, listings, etc.) are stored locally on your machine.

This Privacy Policy will be updated as the Desktop app moves from development to public release.

8. Security

Because JobNugget stores sensitive items (your API key, resume, email credentials) locally on your device, the security of that device is critical. We recommend that you:

• Keep your browser and operating system up to date
• Use a strong device login password and full-disk encryption
• Treat your Anthropic API key as a secret — anyone with it can incur charges on your Anthropic account
• Rotate (regenerate) your API key in the Anthropic console if you suspect it has been exposed

If you discover a security vulnerability in JobNugget, please report it to [email protected].

9. Your rights and choices

Because we don't collect or store your personal data on our servers, most data-subject rights (access, deletion, portability) are exercised by you directly on your device:

• Access: You can view all of JobNugget's stored data in the extension's Settings page.
• Deletion: Use "Reset all data" in Settings, or uninstall the extension.
• Portability: Your saved jobs list can be exported as JSON or CSV from Settings.

If you've contacted us by email and want us to delete that correspondence, write to [email protected] and we will do so within 30 days.

Residents of California (CCPA / CPRA), the EU and UK (GDPR), and other jurisdictions with similar laws have additional rights that we honor where applicable. To exercise any of them, contact us at the address below.

10. Children's privacy

JobNugget is intended for adults conducting a professional job search. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our products evolve — for example, when the Desktop app launches publicly, or if we add a feature that changes what data is handled. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and (for material changes) we'll notify users inside the extension and on the website.

Continued use of JobNugget after a policy update means you accept the revised policy.
