Privacy Policy LazyApply

Why Our Privacy Policy Matters to You

Look, privacy policies aren’t usually what people want to read first thing, but when you’re trusting us with your resume, preferences, and application history, it’s important. We get it—your job search info is super sensitive, and honestly, we treat it that way. Our platform uses AI to automate your job matching and interview scheduling, so we have to collect some personal info to make that happen. But here’s the thing: we keep it safe, transparent, and under your control.

From experience, users appreciate knowing exactly what data we collect and how it’s used. That’s why we want to break down everything clearly, so you can feel confident while using LazyApply.

What Info We Collect and How It Helps

When you sign up, we ask for some basics: your name, Gmail address (because our system integrates tightly with Google), phone number, and location. This helps us personalize your job matches and keep communication clear.

Then there’s your professional background—work history, education, skills, and certifications. Our AI dives into this to pick out the best job openings that fit your profile. It’s not just about throwing your resume everywhere; it’s about smart, relevant matches.

We also gather your preferences, like salary expectations, remote work options, and visa status. That way, we avoid sending applications for jobs that don’t meet your needs. Honestly, it saves you time and energy.

Plus, we track the jobs we’ve applied to on your behalf and any responses or interview requests you get through the platform. This lets you monitor progress and helps our AI learn which applications work better.

Data From LinkedIn and Indeed

If you link your profiles from these platforms, we pull some extra info like your existing profile details and past application records. We don’t touch your connections or other private data—just what’s needed to make applying effortless.

How LazyApply Uses Your Data

Our main goal is to make your job search easier using AI-powered automation. Here’s how your info plays a role:

• AI Job Matching: Our system compares your profile against thousands of job listings daily, scoring relevance to find the best fits.
• Application Automation: Using your profile, our Chrome extension fills out application forms automatically on LinkedIn and Indeed, saving you hours.
• Performance Tracking: We monitor which applications get responses, so we can tweak our algorithms and give you better matches over time.
• Communication: We keep you updated on application status, new job alerts, and platform improvements, with customizable notification settings.

Improving the Platform

We also analyze anonymized data trends to understand what works best. For example, if certain resume formats boost interview invites in tech roles, we’ll suggest those tips to users in similar fields.

Who Sees Your Data and When

It’s natural to wonder who else gets access to your info. We don’t sell your data—that’s not what LazyApply is about.

Here’s the rundown:

• Potential Employers: When we apply for jobs on your behalf, your resume and application details are shared with them.
• LinkedIn and Indeed: We share limited info to ensure smooth integration and form submission.
• Service Providers: Email delivery, cloud storage, and analytics partners get access but are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requests: If required by law, we comply with valid court orders but fight overly broad demands and notify you when possible.

Keeping Your Data Safe and Secure

Security is a top priority for us because your data’s sensitivity demands it. Here’s what we do:

• Encryption: We encrypt your data both when it’s being sent and when it’s stored. Industry-standard protocols keep things locked down.
• Access Controls: Only select team members can access user data, and every access is logged and monitored.
• Regular Audits: Penetration testing and security reviews help us spot and fix vulnerabilities.
• Trusted Infrastructure: Our cloud providers meet strict enterprise security requirements.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

We highly recommend turning on 2FA. After you enter your password, you’ll need to confirm a code sent to your email or authenticator app. Yes, it’s an extra step, but it really cuts down on unauthorized access.

Your Rights and Control Over Your Data

We want you to feel in control—that’s why we offer tools to manage your information:

1. Access Your Data: Download everything we have about you anytime from your account settings.
2. Edit Your Profile: Fix mistakes or update details directly in your dashboard. Changes sync across all applications.
3. Delete Your Account: You can delete your profile and data completely. We hold onto some info briefly for legal reasons but nothing longer than necessary.
4. Manage Notifications: Control what emails and alerts you get. Security messages can’t be turned off, but marketing emails definitely can.

Data Retention Explained

Here’s a quick breakdown of how long we keep your data:

Data Transfers Across Borders

Since we use global cloud providers and integrations, your data might move across countries. But don’t worry—we comply with U.S. privacy laws and international standards by:

• Using adequacy decisions where applicable
• Applying standard contractual clauses with service providers
• Following binding corporate rules internally

We only partner with companies that meet the same privacy and security levels we do.

Cookies, Tracking, and How They Affect You

Our platform and Chrome extension use cookies and similar tech to run smoothly:

• Essential Cookies: These keep you logged in and remember your preferences. Disabling them breaks key features.
• Analytics Cookies: We collect anonymous data to improve the platform based on real user behavior.
• Third-Party Cookies: LinkedIn and Indeed might place their own cookies during integration; we don’t control these but they’re necessary for automation.

You can manage cookies through your browser, but be aware that turning off essentials will affect how LazyApply works.

Keeping You Informed About Privacy Policy Changes

Our service evolves, and so does privacy law. When we update this Privacy Policy, here’s what happens:

• We email you about major changes
• Post notices inside the platform
• Update the “last modified” date at the top of the policy

For smaller tweaks, like clarifying wording, we might just update the text without sending a separate notice.
