The short version. Jobly has no accounts and no analytics. Your preferences, saved jobs and alerts stay in your browser. To show you jobs, the extension asks Jobly’s server for them. We don’t use those requests to build a profile of you, and we don’t sell or share data.
What Jobly is
Jobly is a Chrome extension, plus this website, that lists public job postings collected from company career pages and job boards. The extension has one purpose: helping you find relevant jobs and apply on the original listing.
What stays on your device
The extension keeps these in your browser’s extension storage. They are never uploaded to Jobly’s server:
- Your preferences: roles, experience levels, remote only, keywords to include or exclude, and whether desktop alerts are on.
- Your lists: jobs you save, new-match alerts found by the background check, companies you mute, and a cached copy of recent results so the extension opens instantly.
- Small settings: your theme and whether you have seen the welcome tour. The theme uses Chrome’s sync storage, so Chrome may copy it to your other devices through your Google account.
Uninstalling the extension removes all of this from your device.
What the extension sends to Jobly’s server
When you browse, search or filter, the extension asks Jobly’s server for jobs. Each request can include your search words, the filters you picked, and, so the server can pick jobs that fit you, your roles, experience levels, remote-only setting and keywords.
The server uses this only to answer that request. To stay fast, it keeps identical requests in memory for about two minutes. It does not write them to a database, keep an access log of them, or link them to you. The hosting provider’s short-lived request logs can include them, as described under Services involved.
To stop abuse, the server also counts requests per IP address. It holds the address in memory for up to a minute for that count; it is never written to a database or a file.
If you use Report this listing, we store the job, the reason you chose and any note you typed (up to 500 characters). Reports are not linked to you.
This website
- No cookies, no analytics, no advertising or tracking scripts. Fonts are served from this site, not from a font service.
- Your theme choice is saved in your browser’s local storage so the page doesn’t flash the wrong colours.
- Some pages show live numbers, the list of companies and the latest jobs for a role. Your browser fetches them from Jobly’s server, the same way the extension does, without sending any preferences.
Forms you can send us
Two forms on this site send us a message. Both are optional and both are handled by Netlify Forms, which stores the submission and forwards it to us by email.
- Support form: your email address and your message, plus your name if you give it. We use them only to reply.
- Uninstall feedback: after you uninstall the extension, Chrome opens a short page asking why. The reason you pick and any note you type are sent. It asks for no email and the page has no identifier linking it to you.
Netlify also records the IP address of whoever submits a form. It uses it against spam, we can’t switch it off, and it is stored with the message.
We delete form messages once we have dealt with them, and at the latest after 12 months. Deleting is done by hand, so if you’d like your message removed sooner, write to us and we will.
What we never do
- Ask for your name, email or account details to use Jobly.
- Use analytics, advertising or tracking scripts, in the extension or on this site.
- Sell or rent data, or use it for credit, lending or anything unrelated to finding jobs.
- Read the pages you browse. The extension has no access to your tabs or browsing history.
Services involved
| Service | Why | What it can see |
|---|---|---|
| Render (hosting) and Cloudflare (network) | Runs Jobly’s server | Short-lived technical logs such as IP address, time and the address requested (which can include your search words) |
| Netlify | Hosts this website and its forms | Technical logs including IP address, and what you type into a form together with the IP address it came from |
| Google favicon service (t2.gstatic.com) | Shows company logos in the extension | The company domains your browser asks logos for, and your IP address |
| Chrome Web Store and your Google account | Installing and updating the extension, syncing the theme | Covered by Google’s own policies |
Where your data goes
Jobly’s server (Render, with Cloudflare in front) and this website (Netlify) run in the United States, so requests from other countries cross borders. Netlify says it relies on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for such transfers. Almost nothing that identifies you is stored: your preferences stay in your browser, and the only things we keep are messages you choose to send us.
Your rights
You can ask us what we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Because we keep so little (only the messages you send through the forms), this usually means finding and removing a message. Write to the address below and we will answer within 30 days. If you are in the EU or UK you can also complain to your data protection authority.
Permissions the extension asks for
- storage: keep the items above on your device.
- notifications: show the optional desktop alert.
- alarms: check for new jobs every so often in the background.
- Access to Jobly’s server: fetch job listings. The extension talks to no other website.
The security page has the full permission list and how data moves.
Your choices
- Turn desktop alerts off in Preferences, and remove saved jobs or muted companies in the app.
- Uninstall the extension to remove everything it stored on your device.
- Ask us to see or delete a report or form message you sent: write to the address below.
