JobAgent Chrome Extension (version 1.6.1) — Last updated: 13 October 2026
What the Extension Does
The JobAgent Chrome Extension fills in and submits LinkedIn Easy Apply forms and Greenhouse application forms for applications you start in JobAgent. This policy covers what the extension itself stores and sends. How JobAgent handles your account data is covered by our main Privacy Policy.
What Is Stored on Your Device
The extension keeps the following in chrome.storage.local, on your device only:
- A sign-in token for JobAgent, so the extension can make requests for your account. It expires after 14 days and is renewed when you visit jobagent.uk.
- Your JobAgent user ID and email, to show your account in the popup and find your pending applications.
- The address of the JobAgent site you signed in on, so its requests go there.
- The LinkedIn applications you queued from JobAgent, how far through them it is and the ID of the LinkedIn tab it opened for them, so it can fill them one at a time.
- For a Greenhouse application in progress: its ID, the tab it opened, how far it got and, once it clicks Submit, the text of the form page from just before — so it can tell Greenhouse's confirmation from text that was already on the page. Deleted when the application finishes.
While it opens Easy Apply on a LinkedIn tab, it also keeps a short marker in chrome.storage.session: that it clicked Easy Apply in that tab and when. It contains nothing about you or the job, is used only for the extension's own error logs, and is held in memory — it's deleted when the application finishes or the browser closes.
The popup also reads LinkedIn's li_at cookie to show whether you're signed in to LinkedIn. It is read on your device only and never sent anywhere.
What the Extension Reads on the Page
To fill in a form, the extension reads that form in the page: its field labels and options, which fields are required, the error messages the form shows and the page's headings. This happens on your device, on LinkedIn job pages and in the Greenhouse tab it opened for you. Only what's listed under “What Is Sent to JobAgent” leaves your device.
For a Greenhouse application it also checks the address of the tab it opened, to tell whether the form or Greenhouse's confirmation is showing. It doesn't look at the address of any other tab.
What Is Sent to JobAgent
The extension sends data only to jobagent.uk:
| Data | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your answers to application questions the extension doesn't recognise (the question and your answer) | When you answer such a question in the JobAgent box that appears over an Easy Apply form, and only if “Remember this answer for future applications” is ticked. The box starts ticked; untick it to use the answer for this application only. | Saved to your JobAgent account and reused on later applications. You can see, edit or delete them in Profile → Saved answers. |
| The outcome of an application (submitted, or needs you to finish it yourself) and the application's ID; when it stopped, why: a short reason and, for Greenhouse, the names of the fields involved, the error messages the form showed, or the address and headings of the page it was on (not your answers); when it stopped at questions you haven't answered, those questions and their options | When a form is submitted or stops | Updates your applications tracker in JobAgent, which then asks you those questions so the next application can use your answers. The reason is kept with the application so a problem can be found and fixed. |
| The list of countries a Greenhouse form's phone-number picker offers | When it fills a Greenhouse form with a phone country picker | JobAgent picks the country of the phone number in your Profile from that list. |
| The extension's version number | With every request to JobAgent | So JobAgent can refuse to work with a version that has a known problem. |
| Your JobAgent sign-in token (described above) | With every request to JobAgent | So JobAgent knows the request comes from your account. |
What the Extension Receives from JobAgent
To fill a form you started from JobAgent, the extension downloads, for that application only: your account email, the details you entered in Profile → Application details (name, phone, city, profile links, experience, education, notice period, expected salary and eligibility answers — the city is the one you typed in Profile; the extension doesn't use your device's location), the skills from your CV, and your saved answers. It uses them to fill the form in your browser and does not keep them after the application. It fills in a question only with an answer you have given; if LinkedIn requires a question you haven't answered, it stops without submitting. It does not upload a CV or a cover letter: LinkedIn Easy Apply uses the résumé saved on your LinkedIn profile.
For a Greenhouse application it also downloads, for that application only: the form's questions with JobAgent's answer to each, your CV file (the CV tailored for that job, or else the file you uploaded to JobAgent) and the cover letter. It attaches the CV and the cover letter to the employer's Greenhouse form and does not keep them after the application. The same rule applies: if the form requires something you haven't given, it stops without submitting and leaves the form open for you.
What the Extension Does Not Do
- It does not read your browsing history, or pages other than LinkedIn, jobagent.uk and the Greenhouse application forms it opens for you.
- It does not sell or share your data with third parties. Apart from the application you submit to an employer through LinkedIn or Greenhouse, it sends data only to jobagent.uk.
- It does not use analytics or tracking services.
Permissions
- Access to linkedin.com and jobagent.uk: to fill Easy Apply forms on LinkedIn job pages, and to pick up your sign-in when you use jobagent.uk.
- Cookies: to read your LinkedIn sign-in status for the popup.
- Storage: for the data listed under “What Is Stored on Your Device”.
- Notifications: to tell you when an application is submitted, needs you to finish it, or is paused.
- Access to greenhouse.io (optional): asked for the first time you apply to a Greenhouse job, and used only in the tab the extension opens for that application. You can remove it in Chrome's extension settings.
- Scripting: to run the extension's own Greenhouse script in the tab it opened for your application, once you've allowed access to greenhouse.io. LinkedIn forms are filled by the extension's scripts for LinkedIn job pages.
Data Retention
Data in chrome.storage.local stays on your device until you uninstall the extension or clear its storage via chrome://extensions → JobAgent → Storage; the sign-in token stops working after 14 days. Saved answers stay in your JobAgent account until you delete them in Profile → Saved answers.
