Privacy Policy

Information We Do Not Collect

ResTail has no servers of its own, no user accounts, and no analytics or tracking. We never receive your resume, job descriptions, custom instructions, or files. ResTail does not read, store, or transmit your cookies or login credentials for any website.

Data Handling Pipeline

• Stored on Your Device
  Your inputs are saved only in your browser's sandboxed storage (chrome.storage.local) so you don't lose them when the popup closes. This includes your resume (LaTeX text, your Word file, or the text and layout read from your PDF, plus the LaTeX version created from it), your custom instructions, output file name and format, AI provider, and theme. Job descriptions are not saved. Uploading a new file replaces the old one, and uninstalling the extension deletes everything.
• Files Read Locally
  PDF and Word (.docx) files are opened and read entirely inside your browser. ResTail never uploads the files themselves anywhere. Your tailored Word document is also built inside your browser.
• Sent to Your AI Provider
  When you click Tailor Resume, ResTail opens your chosen AI service (Google Gemini, ChatGPT, or Claude) in a temporary window and types a prompt into your own logged-in session. The prompt contains your resume content (LaTeX text, the text of your Word document, or the text and a description of the layout read from your PDF), the job description, and your custom instructions. This is handled under that provider's own privacy policy and terms, and the conversation may appear in your chat history there.
• LaTeX Compilation
  For LaTeX and PDF resumes, the LaTeX returned by the AI (which contains your resume content) is sent to https://latex.ytotech.com, a third-party compilation service, to create the PDF you preview and download. For PDF uploads, the one-time LaTeX conversion is also compiled there to check that it works. ResTail does not operate this service. Word resumes are never sent to it.
• Fonts for the Word Preview
  To show your Word document with fonts that match it, the preview page loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Like any website loading a web font, this sends Google the requested font names and your IP address. No resume text is sent.

Browser Permissions Required

storage: Used to save your inputs on your device so you do not have to add your resume every time you open the extension.

Access to chatgpt.com, gemini.google.com, and claude.ai: Required to open your chosen AI service, type the prompt into its chat box, and read the AI's reply. ResTail does not access any other websites.

Downloads use your browser's standard save dialog and need no extra permission.
