JobBook

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 18, 2026

The short version

JobBook stores your job-search records on your device. We do not operate an account system or cloud database, and we do not receive your applications, interview notes, STAR stories, contacts, offers, resumes, cover letters, or backups. Network use is limited to Apple services needed for purchases and links that you explicitly choose to open.

What data we collect through the App

None. JobBook does not transmit personal data or usage data to us. We do not operate a backend, analytics service, crash-reporting service, advertising SDK, or tracking system. We have no way to identify who uses the App or inspect their job-search activity.

Data you enter into JobBook

The information you enter—including companies, roles, job descriptions, interview questions and answers, STAR stories, skills, outcomes, offers, contacts, resumes, cover letters, notes, and tags—is saved in the App's local data store. Career Memory and interview-preparation suggestions are generated locally from records you choose to save.

iOS may include the App's local container in your device backup according to your Apple backup settings. JobBook does not operate or control that backup service and does not provide automatic cross-device sync.

Share Extension and imports

When you choose JobBook from the iOS Share Sheet, the Share Extension stores a small job draft in JobBook's shared App Group container so the main App can import it. Pasted job text, URLs, and CSV files are parsed on device. JobBook does not fetch the linked job page or upload imported content to us.

Encrypted backups and exports

When you create a complete backup, JobBook encrypts it on device using a password you provide. The password and backup are not sent to us, and we cannot recover either one. You decide whether and where to save or share the encrypted backup, PDF export, CSV export, or diagnostic export. Copies outside the App are controlled by you and by the destination you select.

Local diagnostics

JobBook keeps a limited commercial diagnostic log on device to support troubleshooting of events such as onboarding progress, paywall views, purchase outcomes, backup activity, and Career Memory reuse. These records exclude company names, roles, URLs, notes, story text, and device identifiers. They are never uploaded automatically. You can export or delete them from Settings.

Permissions we request

Purchases

JobBook Pro is available through Apple's StoreKit as a one-time Lifetime purchase or monthly subscription. The App also recognizes valid legacy annual subscriptions purchased previously. Apple handles transactions and entitlement verification. We do not see your Apple Account credentials or payment method. Purchase and restore requests go to Apple, not to a JobBook server.

Third-party services

JobBook uses no third-party SDKs, Firebase, analytics providers, advertising networks, or developer-operated cloud service. We do not share your App data with LinkedIn, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, or other companies. Apple may process purchase and platform-service data under Apple's own terms and privacy policy.

AI

JobBook does not send your content to an artificial-intelligence service. Career Memory and STAR-story suggestions use deterministic, explainable matching on your device. Your job descriptions, notes, interview answers, stories, cover letters, and offers are not sent to a language model, embedding service, or training pipeline.

Retention, deletion, and your choices

Your records remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App, subject to your Apple device-backup settings. You can delete individual records in the App and delete the local diagnostic log in Settings. You can disable notifications in iOS Settings and turn off App Lock in JobBook Settings. Because we do not receive your data, there is no server-side account or profile for us to delete. You are responsible for deleting any backup or export copies you saved outside the App.

Support communications

If you email support, we receive the email address, name, message, and attachments you choose to send. We use that information only to respond, investigate the issue, protect the App, or comply with law. Support email is processed by our email provider and is not automatically linked to data in JobBook. Do not include sensitive job-search records unless they are necessary for your request. You may ask us to delete a support conversation, subject to legal or security retention needs.

Children's privacy

JobBook is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the "last updated" date above. Since we do not contact users, please check back occasionally.
