Privacy Policy LazyApply

Why Privacy Matters When Using LazyApply

Let’s be real—sharing your personal info with any job platform can feel a bit uneasy. Especially since we’re dealing with sensitive details like your resume, work history, and even salary expectations. We get it. That’s why at LazyApply, privacy isn’t just a checkbox; it’s part of how we build trust.

Our platform automates applying to jobs and managing interviews, which means we process your data continuously to make things smoother for you. Because you’re in the USA, we follow local data protection standards closely, ensuring your info is handled carefully and transparently.

What Info We Collect and Why It’s Needed

Here’s the scoop: to automate your job applications effectively, we do need to collect certain details. But we’re not just grabbing whatever’s available. Every piece of data serves a purpose.

Personal Details You Provide

Signing up requires a Gmail account, so we get your name, email, and profile info you upload. Whether you have one resume profile or twenty, these contain your experience, skills, education, and contact info.

Plus, your job preferences—like location filters set to “USA,” salary expectations, visa status, or remote work preferences—help us tailor the matches and applications.

Tracking Application Activity

Each time you run automation, we log which job boards you use, how many applications go out, and the success rates. This helps us avoid duplicate submissions and fine-tune matching accuracy.

Technical Data from Our Chrome Extension

To keep things running smoothly, our extension collects info about form-filling success, errors encountered, and timing details. This lets us improve performance and reliability over time.

How LazyApply Uses Your Data During Applications

So, what happens behind the scenes when you hit “Start Applying”? Our AI pulls your profile data and fills out job forms automatically, but it’s not just blind automation.

Smart Profile Matching

If you have multiple resumes, our system picks the most relevant one based on the job description. For example, a “software engineer USA” profile gets matched with software roles, while a “data scientist remote” profile is used for remote data jobs.

Tailored Form Filling

• Contact info goes into the right fields
• Work experience gets highlighted according to job needs
• Skills and certifications are selected for relevance
• Custom cover letters (if set up) are inserted

Real-Time Cross-Checking

Before submitting, the system flags mismatches to avoid wasting time on jobs that don’t fit your experience or preferences.

Keeping Your Data Safe and Secure

Honestly, security is the backbone of our Privacy Policy. We use strong encryption and careful controls to protect everything you share.

Encryption Standards

All your data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 during transmission—same level of security banks use.

Access and Control

Only authorized team members can access your info, strictly on a need-to-know basis. We keep detailed logs of all access to stay transparent and accountable.

Data Location Matters

Your info is stored and processed on US-based servers, keeping it within local jurisdiction and reducing delays during application sessions.

How Third Parties Fit Into This Picture

We connect with big job sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, Dice, and ZipRecruiter to submit your applications. That means some of your info gets passed along, but only what’s needed to fill out their forms.

Job Platform Data Sharing

When applying through LazyApply, the platforms receive the same info you’d enter manually: resumes, contact details, and other application-specific data. We don’t share extra info beyond that.

Analytics Partners

To improve our platform, we work with analytics providers. But here’s the thing: that data is anonymized and aggregated, so no individual user can be identified.

Your Rights and How to Manage Your Data

We want you to feel in control. Our dashboard lets you update or delete your profiles, change preferences, and manage your application history anytime.

Access and Changes

Need to update your resume or switch location filters? Just edit your profile, and the changes apply instantly.

Application History

You can review every job you’ve applied to and delete specific records if you want to clean things up.

Account Deletion

1. Log into your dashboard and open account settings
2. Choose the delete account option
3. Confirm your choice (this can’t be undone)
4. We’ll remove your data within 30 days
5. Billing info may be kept longer for tax/legal reasons

How We Comply With USA Privacy Laws

We follow federal and state rules to keep your info safe and your rights respected. That includes the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for users in California, which offers extra protections.

State-Specific Rights

If you’re a California resident, you can request access, deletion, and opt-out options. We extend similar protections to all our users regardless of state.

Data Breach Notifications

If something ever goes wrong and your info is at risk, we’ll notify you within 72 hours with details and next steps.

Cookies and Tracking Explained

Cookies help our platform work better, but we keep it straightforward. Essential cookies keep you logged in and maintain security, while analytics cookies let us improve the experience.

Essential vs Analytics Cookies

• Essential: Session management, preferences, security
• Analytics: Usage insights, feature optimization (opt-out available)

Third-Party Cookies

While using our Chrome extension on job sites, those sites may set their own cookies. We don’t control these, so it’s worth checking their privacy policies if you’re curious.

Keeping You Updated on Privacy Changes

When we update our Privacy Policy, we won’t leave you guessing. We send an email at least 30 days before big changes take effect, so you have time to review and decide what to do.

How Notifications Work

The email summarizes changes and links to the full updated policy on our site. Continuing to use LazyApply after the changes means you accept them, but if you don’t agree, deleting your account is always an option.

How to Reach Us About Privacy

If you have any questions or want to exercise your privacy rights, just reach out to our privacy team. We aim to respond within 30 days and keep things clear and straightforward.

Submitting Requests

Make sure to include:

• Your registered email address

For your protection, we might ask to verify your identity before making changes.
