Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2024

1. Introduction

At ApplyEngine.AI, developed by Xprtis LLC, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data differently for Free and Premium users.

2. Data Collection and Storage

We handle data differently based on your subscription level:

Free Version:

• Resume and application data is stored both locally and on our secure servers
• Data persists until you uninstall the extension
• Basic usage analytics are collected

Premium Version:

• All resume and application data stays strictly local based on user's choice
• Data export/import functionality for cross-device usage
• Basic usage analytics are collected
• Enhanced privacy features

3. Usage Analytics

For both Free and Premium versions, we collect non-personally identifiable usage data to improve our service:

• Feature usage patterns
• Performance metrics
• Error reports
• General usage statistics

This data cannot be used to identify individual users and helps us improve the service.

4. OpenAI Integration

When you use AI features:

• You provide your own OpenAI API key
• Communications are directly between your browser and OpenAI
• We never see or store your API key

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

• local and secure cloud storage for Free users' data
• Premium users' data never leaves their device if they choose local-only storage

6. Data Retention

Data retention policies vary by version:

• Free version: Data stored until extension uninstall or account deletion
• Premium version: Data controlled entirely by user, stored locally only

7. Your Privacy Rights

Under GDPR and CCPA, you have the right to:

• Request deletion of your data
• Export your data (Premium feature)
• Opt-out of data collection (by upgrading to Premium)
• Request information about your data
