Where are interview transcripts stored when I use the Real‑Time Interview Coach?

Transcripts are kept only in your browser’s local storage and are processed ephemerally for the duration of the request; they are not sent to or retained on external servers.

Does EasyJobsApply send any of my interview data to third‑party services?

No. All AI processing happens within the extension, and any data needed for generating answers is handled locally without uploading personal content to third parties.

Can someone else using the same Chromebook access my interview history?

Each user’s data is isolated in their own browser profile; unless another user shares your profile or accesses your local storage, they cannot view your interview transcripts.

What happens to my interview data after I close the side‑panel or the browser?

The extension clears the temporary transcript data from memory once the session ends, and any stored information remains only in your personal browser storage, which you can delete by clearing your browser data.

What privacy safeguards does EasyJobsApply use when recording interview transcripts on a shared Chromebook

EasyJobsApply protects interview transcripts on shared Chromebooks through a privacy‑first architecture that ensures all data stays on the device, is encrypted in‑browser, and is processed only temporarily, meaning no recordings are sent to external servers or stored in the cloud.

When you activate the Real‑Time Interview Coach, the Chrome side‑panel captures audio, runs speech‑to‑text locally, and immediately converts it into structured STAR answers. The transcription never leaves the browser; it lives only in volatile memory and is wiped once the session ends.

All resume and transcript data are saved in the browser's local storage, which is sandboxed per user profile. On a shared Chromebook, each user should operate under their own Google account, ensuring that one profile’s data cannot be accessed by another without explicit permission.

To further harden security, EasyJobsApply encrypts stored data using the Web Crypto API. Encryption keys are derived from the user's session and are never persisted, so even if someone gains file‑system access, the content remains unreadable without the active session.

The extension follows a strict “ephemeral processing” model: as soon as you close the interview window or navigate away, the transcription buffer is cleared. No logs, caches, or temporary files are written to disk, mitigating risks on devices that are frequently swapped between users.

Because the tool runs entirely client‑side, it does not require you to supply personal OpenAI or Anthropic API keys. The free AI tier is powered by EasyJobsApply’s own backend, which only receives anonymized prompt metadata, never the raw transcript or personal identifiers.

For organizations managing shared Chromebooks, we recommend enabling Chrome’s “Managed Guest Session” or using separate user accounts for each candidate. This isolates local storage, ensuring that one user’s interview data cannot bleed into another’s workspace.

If you need to export or share a transcript, the side‑panel offers a one‑click download of an encrypted PDF that can be password‑protected. The password is set by the user at export time and is never stored by EasyJobsApply.

EasyJobsApply also complies with major data‑privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA by providing clear data‑retention controls: users can manually delete all stored transcripts from the extension’s settings, and the system automatically purges any residual data after 30 days of inactivity.
