Privacy

Last updated 20 August 2026

JobXentral asks for your résumé and the job you are applying to. Both are personal information, so here is exactly where they go and what happens to them — in plain terms, not in a way that needs a lawyer to decode.

The short version

What is stored in your browser

Almost everything. Your saved résumé, each application you start, your cover letters, interview practice, planner ideas and contact details all live in your browser's local storage under keys beginning jobxentral.

This is a real trade-off and you should know both halves of it: nothing is exposed on a server we run, but it also means your work does not follow you to another device or another browser, and clearing site data removes it permanently. We cannot recover it for you, because we never had it.

What is sent to AI providers

The AI features — reading a posting, estimating your match, tailoring a résumé, drafting a cover letter, building interview questions and grading answers, and writing LinkedIn material — run on large language models operated by third parties. To produce a result, we send the model the text it needs for that step. Depending on the step, that can include:

Your résumé is personal data, and today these models run on providers' US endpoints. EU-resident routing is designed for and configured but not yet switched on. If that matters to you, it is a reason to wait before uploading a real résumé.

The providers currently in use are Anthropic and Google. They process this text to return a result to us. We do not send them your browser storage, and we do not send them anything you have not put into a feature that needs it.

What we keep on our side

Each AI call is recorded on our server so we can diagnose failures, measure cost and catch abuse. That record includes the text sent to the model — which means it can contain résumé text — plus timing, cost, and which model answered.

Open item, stated plainly: a fixed deletion window for these run records has not been set yet. Until it is, treat them as retained. This is the outstanding privacy task on our side and it is being tracked, not forgotten.

Cookies

One cookie, jbx_anon. It holds a random identifier, contains nothing about you, cannot be read by scripts on the page, and exists so that one visitor cannot exhaust the shared AI budget for everyone else. Full detail on the cookie page.

There is no analytics, no advertising and no third-party tracking on this site.

Deleting your data

Your rights

If you are in the EU or UK, the GDPR gives you rights over personal data about you, including access, correction, deletion and objection. Because JobXentral holds no account and no identifier that points to you as a person, we usually cannot tell which data is yours — which limits what we can act on. If you believe we hold something identifying you, write to us and we will do what we can.

AI and decisions

JobXentral does not make hiring decisions and is not used by employers to screen you. The match figure it shows is an estimate produced by comparing your résumé against one posting. It is a coaching aid, not a prediction of any outcome, and every AI-generated line is labelled as such and editable by you before it goes anywhere.
