Privacy-first and consent-based by design.

The HiringHost Chrome Extension detects when you visit job-related pages on supported job platforms and employer career sites that fall within the extension's approved job-site scope.

When a supported job page is detected, the extension may read the page URL, page title, and visible page content to classify the visit as a job listing view, an application attempt, or an application confirmation. Nothing about pages outside job-related pages is transmitted to HiringHost, and your browsing history is not collected.

Captured data includes: the URL of the job page, the job title, company name, and location (inferred from the page), the source platform, and the activity status (Visited, Applied, or Confirmed). Where the page states them, it also includes pay or salary, employment type, required skills, visa sponsorship wording, and a few short key points about the role. This data is transmitted to HiringHost servers and stored in your candidate account so it appears in your job-tracking dashboard.

To decide whether a page is a job posting, the extension checks the page on your own device, using the page address, title, and a limited amount of visible text. For pages that are not job-related, nothing is sent to HiringHost and nothing is stored. Only pages identified as a job posting, an application step, or an application confirmation are recorded. It does not access personal messages, email, or account credentials on any third-party platform.

When a job site lists many postings on one side and shows the one you select on the other, the posting you select is tracked under its own link. Only a direct link to an individual job is added to your dashboard as a tracked job, and a job you open again is updated rather than added twice. Search results, listing pages, site home pages, error pages, blank pages, and pages whose job title cannot be read are not added as jobs.

On computers that support it, the extension can use the AI model built into Google Chrome to recognise job postings on career sites that the extension does not already know. The model runs entirely on your device. The text of the page is given to that local model and is not sent to HiringHost, Google, or anyone else for this purpose.

When the model identifies a job posting, HiringHost receives the same information it receives for any other job page: the page URL, page title, and the job title, company, and location shown on the page. Chrome downloads, stores, and updates the model itself as part of the browser. Where the model is not available, the extension works as it does without it.

The extension requests permissions that are necessary to identify supported job pages and to communicate with HiringHost. These may include local browser storage to hold your session state, optional site access for supported job platforms, and network access to transmit job-tracking records to HiringHost servers.

No permission is used for purposes beyond job-page detection and dashboard synchronisation. The extension does not inject advertisements, does not add a persistent toolbar across unrelated sites, and does not share data with any third party.

HiringHost may collect account details (name, email, account type), candidate profile information, employer workspace verification data, and subscription information needed to operate the platform.

Screened talent-pool access is separate from the broader candidate base. Employer visibility depends on verification status, plan access, and candidate consent. Candidate tracking data is not exposed to employers without the appropriate plan access and candidate-side sharing settings.

Job-tracking data captured by the extension is used to populate your individual candidate dashboard, support screening eligibility decisions, and improve your talent-pool readiness score. It is not sold to third parties.

Tracked jobs are linked to your own account. The skills listed in the jobs you view are compared with the skills and preferences in your candidate profile, so your dashboard can show which skills you already have and which you are missing. Only normalized job details (title, company, location, and similar) from accepted job records may be used to populate shared job-matching features such as Job Matches, never your account details.

Employer workspace data is used to verify business identity, manage team access, support job posting, recruiter assignment, and candidate-matching workflows. Workspace activity may also power manager reporting, recruiter analytics, and role-based access controls within the platform.

Candidate visibility is not automatically public. Screened candidate discovery is restricted to verified workspaces and limited by the employer's plan and access permissions. Contact details, resume visibility, and identity exposure depend on plan rules, workspace permissions, and candidate-side sharing choices.

HiringHost does not sell, rent, or share personal data with advertisers. Data may be shared with infrastructure providers (such as database or hosting services) that are bound by confidentiality agreements and process data solely to support platform operations.

HiringHost retains platform data for service delivery, operational records, account management, and reasonable compliance obligations. Retention timing may vary depending on account status, subscription status, and platform obligations.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data associated with your account. Extension-captured job records can be reviewed and deleted from your candidate dashboard at any time. To make a data-access or deletion request, contact support@hiringhost.com with the email address on your account and the specific request.

This policy may be updated as the platform and extension evolve. Material changes will be communicated via the platform or extension. Continued use of HiringHost after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The current version of this policy is always available at hiringhost.com/privacy.
