Ply Browser Extension — Last updated: April 5, 2026

Ply ("we", "our", "the extension") is a browser extension that helps you generate tailored resumes and cover letters for job applications. This policy explains what data the extension accesses, how it is used, and how it is protected.

1. What data we access

The extension accesses the following data solely to provide its core functionality:

• Job page content — Text and HTML of job listing pages you visit on supported platforms (LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, iCIMS). This is used to extract job details for resume tailoring.
• Active tab URL — Used to detect whether the current page is a supported job board and to identify a job listing.
• Authentication tokens — JWT access and refresh tokens obtained when you sign in on the Ply website. Stored locally in chrome.storage.local on your device.
• Extension preferences — Your chosen file format (PDF/DOCX), filename prefix, and save folder. Stored in chrome.storage.sync (synced across your Chrome profile).

2. What data we do NOT collect

• We do not collect, store, or transmit your browsing history.
• We do not access pages outside of supported job board domains and the Ply website.
• We do not use analytics, crash reporting, or any third-party tracking SDKs.
• We do not sell or share any data with third parties.

3. How data is used

Job page content is sent to the Ply backend (limitation.abbasidaniyal.com) strictly to generate your tailored resume and cover letter. No job content is retained beyond what is required to generate and serve your documents.

Authentication tokens are used only to authenticate your requests to the Ply backend. They are never sent to any other service.

4. Data storage

• Locally on your device — Auth tokens are stored in chrome.storage.local and are not accessible to web pages or other extensions.
• Synced across your Chrome profile — Preferences (file format, filename) are stored in chrome.storage.sync, which Chrome may sync across your signed-in devices.
• Ply backend — Processed job data and generated documents are stored on our servers to allow you to re-download documents. You can delete your data by contacting us.

5. Permissions used

• activeTab — Read the URL and content of your currently active tab when the extension is open, limited to supported job board pages.
• tabs — Detect tab navigation to update the extension state when you switch tabs.
• storage — Save your preferences and authentication state locally.
• downloads — Save generated resume and cover letter files to your device.
• sidePanel — Display the Ply interface in Chrome's side panel.

6. Third-party services

The extension communicates only with the Ply backend (limitation.abbasidaniyal.com). No data is shared with any other third-party service, advertising network, or analytics provider.

7. Data deletion

You can remove your local data at any time by uninstalling the extension or clearing extension storage via Chrome settings. To request deletion of any data held on our servers, contact us at the address below.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the extension evolves. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
