Matchkey Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Matchkey compares your resume with a job post and shows how well they match. Here is exactly what happens to your data, in plain words.
The short version
- Your resume stays in your browser.
- We remove your email, phone number, profile links, and street address before anything leaves your browser.
- We don't keep your resume on any server.
- We don't sell your data, show ads, or track you.
What we keep on your computer
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your resume | To compare it with jobs | Until you remove it |
| Results of jobs you checked | So reopening a job is instant | 14 days |
| A random ID (just numbers and letters) | To stop anyone overusing the service | Until you uninstall |
| Your settings | To remember your choices | Until you uninstall |
All of this is stored only in Chrome on your computer. It is not synced to your other devices.
What we send, and when
We send data only when you open Matchkey on a job post to check your match. We send:
- Your resume, with your email, phone number, profile links, and street address removed. Your city and state stay in, so we can compare locations.
- The job post: title, company, location, work mode, experience needed, salary (if shown), and description.
- The random ID from the table above.
This goes to the Matchkey service, which uses Anthropic's Claude AI to create your result and sends it back. The Matchkey service doesn't save your resume, the job, or the result. Anthropic handles this data under its privacy policy and does not use it to train its AI by default.
What we never send
- Your browsing history
- The pages you visit
- The web address of the job post
- Anything from pages that aren't job posts
Which websites Matchkey reads
- LinkedIn, Naukri, and Indeed: Matchkey reads job posts there to find the job details.
- Other job sites (company career pages): only if you turn this on, and only when you open Matchkey on that page.
What we don't do
- No ads
- No tracking or analytics
- No selling or sharing your data
- No using your data for anything except checking your job match
How to delete your data
- Remove your resume: open Matchkey → Settings → Remove resume
- Remove saved results: open Matchkey → Settings → Saved results → Clear
- Remove everything: uninstall Matchkey from Chrome
