How Tailr handles your resume, applications, and account.

Last updated: September 11, 2026

The short version

Your resume, applications, and cover letters stay on this device — the Chrome profile you use Tailr in. They aren't uploaded, backed up, or synced across your devices. When you tailor a resume, the text of your resume and the job posting are sent to the AI provider that generates the suggestions, then discarded. We store your email address (from Google sign-in) and how much tailoring you've used. That's it.

What stays on your device

The following is stored only in the browser profile where you installed Tailr. Nothing here is uploaded to us or shared with any third party.

Your original resume (.docx file and its parsed contents)
Every tailored resume file you've generated
Every cover letter you've written
Your saved applications, their statuses, and notes
Your preferences (name, tone setting, and other in-app choices)
A short-lived Google authentication token, cached in the extension's local storage for up to 30 minutes and cleared when you sign out

What we store on our server

Your email

From your Google sign-in. Identifies your account and nothing else.

Tailoring usage

How many tailorings you have remaining. Not what you tailored, or for which job.

Rate-limit counters

Short-lived per-IP counters used to prevent abuse. IP addresses are used as counter keys and are not otherwise logged. Retained for up to 24 hours.

Retry cache

If a tailoring request is retried within 24 hours, the response is cached so you get the same answer instead of being charged again. Auto-deleted after 24 hours.

Cover letters

Cover letters you generate are saved on the server tied to your account, so you can access them again. Deleted when you delete your account.

What passes through our server (not stored)

When you tailor a resume, we send the following to the AI provider that generates suggestions:

The text content of your resume
The text of the job posting
Your tone preference

This is required for the AI to generate suggestions. The AI provider processes the request and returns the suggestions. We do not retain this content after the request is complete, and we do not use it to train any model.

Third parties

Tailr uses two external services:

Google

Google handles your sign-in. When you sign in, we receive your email address and a unique Google account identifier. We do not receive your Google password. Google's own privacy policy governs their handling of your data: policies.google.com/privacy.

Groq

Groq is the AI provider that generates tailoring suggestions. When you tailor a resume, the text of your resume and the job posting are sent to Groq. Groq processes the request and returns the suggestions. Groq's privacy policy: groq.com/privacy-policy.

Tailr does not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it for any purpose other than providing the service.

How to delete your data

You can delete your data at any time:

Reset this device — in Tailr's Profile tab, clears your resume, applications, and preferences from this browser. Your account and credit balance are preserved.
Delete my account — in Tailr's Profile tab, deletes your account on the server (including your email, cover letters, and credit balance) and signs you out. This cannot be undone.

After account deletion, we retain a one-way SHA-256 hash of your account identifier so that abuse prevention (repeated sign-up-and-delete cycles for free credits) can be enforced. This hash cannot be reversed to identify you.

Google Limited Use disclosure

Tailr's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use Google sign-in only to identify your account, and we do not transfer this data to third parties except as necessary to provide the service.

Extension permissions

Tailr requests the following browser permissions, and this is what each is for:

sidePanel

To show Tailr in Chrome's side panel.

scripting, tabs

To read the job posting on the page you have open, so Tailr can compare it against your resume.

identity

To sign you in with Google.

host_permissions (https://*/*)

To detect job postings across the range of career sites users visit. Detection reads the posting text only.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle your data, we'll update this page and update the "Last updated" date. Substantive changes will also be surfaced in the extension itself so you see them before you continue using Tailr.
