Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 7, 2026
Unveil is a Chrome extension that helps job seekers assess potential ghost-job risk on career pages.
This Privacy Policy explains what information Unveil processes and how it is used.
1. Information processed from job pages
When Unveil checks a job listing, it may process information visible on the current page, including:
Page URL and hostname
Job title
Job location
Job description
Other visible text related to the listing
This information is sent to the Unveil backend so the listing can be matched against Unveil's database and assessed.
Unveil uses this information to provide a risk score, confidence level, and relevant risk signals.
2. Company tracking requests
If Unveil does not currently support a company, you may request that the company be tracked.
When you submit a request, Unveil processes:
The company domain
The company name, where available
A randomly generated identifier associated with your extension installation
The installation identifier is used to prevent the same installation from repeatedly requesting the same company.
Before being stored in Unveil's database, the identifier is transformed using a keyed cryptographic hash.
Company request totals may be used to help Unveil prioritize which companies to support next.
3. Technical and security information
Unveil may process limited technical information, including IP addresses and request metadata, to:
Apply rate limits
Prevent automated or abusive requests
Protect the availability and security of the service
Diagnose technical problems
4. Local extension storage
Unveil uses Chrome local storage to keep information needed for the extension to function.
This currently includes:
A randomly generated installation identifier
A record of companies already requested from that installation
This allows the extension to remember request status between page visits.
5. How information is used
Information processed by Unveil is used to:
Identify supported companies and job listings
Match job listings against Unveil's database
Generate ghost-job risk assessments
Improve matching and scoring
Process requests for additional companies
Maintain, secure, and debug the service
Measure reliability and improve coverage
6. Storage and retention
Unveil may retain company tracking requests, pseudonymous identifiers, processed job information, and limited technical logs for as long as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the service.
Information stored locally by the extension remains in Chrome storage until it is cleared, removed with the extension, or changed by a future version of Unveil.
7. Service providers
Unveil uses third-party infrastructure providers for services such as hosting, databases, and networking.
These providers may process limited information on Unveil's behalf where necessary to operate the service.
Unveil does not sell user data or use it for advertising.
8. Third-party career websites
Unveil works on career websites and applicant tracking systems operated by third parties.
Those websites have their own privacy policies and data practices, which are separate from Unveil.
9. Security
Unveil uses technical safeguards including pseudonymous identifiers, cryptographic hashing, rate limiting, duplicate-request protection, request limits, and restricted backend access.
No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
10. Changes to this Privacy Policy
Unveil may update this Privacy Policy as the extension, its features, or its data practices change.
The current version will always be published on the Unveil website with its effective date.
Where required, additional notice will be provided for material changes.
By installing or using Unveil, you acknowledge that you have been provided access to this Privacy Policy and understand that information is processed as described here.
