Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 23, 2026

1. Introduction

Aplik (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Aplik website and Chrome Extension (collectively, the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Account information: name, email address, and password when you create an account.
  • Resume data: work experience, education, skills, and other information you enter into the resume builder.
  • Job application data: company names, job titles, job URLs, descriptions, locations, and application statuses you track.
  • Payment information: if you upgrade to a paid plan, payment details are processed by our third-party payment processor and are not stored on our servers.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage data: pages visited, features used, timestamps, and interactions with the Service.
  • Device information: browser type, operating system, and device identifiers.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: session cookies for authentication and analytics cookies to understand usage patterns.

2.3 Chrome Extension Data

The Aplik Chrome Extension collects job listing data (job title, company, location, description, and URL) from supported websites (currently LinkedIn and Hiring Cafe) only when you explicitly click the “Save to Aplik” button. The extension does not collect browsing history, track your activity on other websites, or access data beyond the specific job listing you choose to save.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
  • Process your resume data with AI to generate tailored resume versions, cover letters, and application responses.
  • Track and manage your job applications.
  • Authenticate your account and maintain session security.
  • Communicate with you about your account, updates, and support requests.
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues and abuse.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

4. AI Processing

We use third-party AI services to provide resume tailoring, cover letter generation, and other AI-powered features. When you use these features, relevant data (such as your resume content and job descriptions) is sent to our AI provider for processing. We do not use your data to train AI models. Our AI providers process data according to their own privacy policies and data processing agreements.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: third-party vendors who assist in operating the Service (hosting, payment processing, AI processing, analytics).
  • Legal requirements: when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity.
  • Protection of rights: to enforce our Terms of Service, protect the security of the Service, or protect the rights and safety of our users.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (such as resolving disputes or enforcing agreements).

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted storage, and secure authentication. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

  • Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: request deletion of your personal data.
  • Portability: request a machine-readable copy of your data.
  • Objection: object to processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
  • Withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address listed below. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how the Service is used. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 16, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

11. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed and stored in countries other than your own. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your data to countries that may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
