The short version
Your email signs you in, your board and network are yours, and the only other services that ever see any of it are the ones that make a feature work (listed below). I don't sell it, share it, or do anything weird with it.
What cozy job tracker stores
- Email address — used to sign you in via magic link and to show who you're signed in as. Never displayed publicly.
- Job board data — the jobs, columns, notes, and due dates you add. Deleted jobs sit in your trash for 30 days, then they're gone for good.
- Network data — the people you choose to track (names, companies, titles, LinkedIn links, your notes about them). This is information about other people, so please only add what you'd be comfortable with them seeing.
- Feedback — if you use the feedback button, the message you type is sent to my inbox. It's not tied to your account unless you include your name.
Everything is stored in a Redis database hosted by Upstash and served from Vercel. There's no public board view — only you (signed in) can see your data.
Services that help run it
- OpenAI — when you paste a job URL (on the site, in the Chrome extension, or through an AI assistant), the page is fetched and its text is sent to OpenAI's API to pull out the title, company, location, and details. Only that page's content is sent — never your board, your email, or your network.
- Vercel Analytics — anonymous, cookieless page-view counts so I can see which parts of the site get used. No cross-site tracking, no advertising pixels, and nothing that identifies you.
- Resend — sends the magic-link sign-in email.
- Web3Forms — delivers feedback messages to my inbox.
AI assistants (MCP)
You can connect an AI assistant like Claude to your board from settings. You choose what it's allowed to do when you approve the connection (read-only, or read and write), and you can revoke it at any time. The assistant only ever acts on your own board and network, and only while that connection is active.
What cozy job tracker doesn't do
- Sell or share your data with anyone
- Send you marketing emails (I don't even have a mailing list)
- Email you at all, other than the sign-in link you asked for
- Use advertising pixels or track you across other sites
- Train AI models on your data
Cookies
cozy job tracker uses a session cookie to keep you signed in. No tracking cookies, no third-party cookies. Just the one that makes login work.
Chrome extension
The cozy job tracker Chrome extension lets you save job postings to your board with one click. Here's what it accesses:
- Session cookie — the extension reads your existing cozyjobtracker.com session cookie to verify you're signed in. It doesn't create or modify any cookies.
- Current page URL — when you click "Add to board", the URL of the page you're on is sent to cozyjobtracker.com to parse the job posting (see OpenAI above). No other browsing data is collected.
- Local cache — your email is cached in the browser so the popup loads faster. This cache is automatically cleared when you close the browser.
The extension doesn't track your browsing, run on pages in the background, or collect any data beyond what's described above.
