Last updated March 08, 2026 · Applies to the Jobnest AI Chrome Extension
✅ Short version: The Jobnest extension only reads job page content when you explicitly grant permission and click a button. It never runs in the background, never tracks your browsing, and never collects data without your direct action.
The Jobnest AI Chrome Extension is a browser tool that helps job seekers apply to jobs faster. It reads the content of a job listing page — such as the job title, company name, and job description — and uses that information to help you fill out or submit a job application through the Jobnest AI platform at https://jobnestai.tools.
This Privacy Policy applies specifically to the Chrome extension and supplements our main Privacy Policy.
The extension may access the following data only when you are actively using it:
| Data Type | What It Is | Collected? |

| Current tab URL | The URL of the job listing page you are viewing | User-triggered only |
| Browsing history | Pages you visit, history, other tabs | Never |
| Personal files | Downloads, local files, documents | Never |
| Passwords / form data | Saved passwords, autofill data | Never |
| Other tabs or windows | Any page other than the one you are actively using | Never |
