standout snapshot Extension

Our official browser extension ("standout snapshot") helps you save job postings directly to your standout account. The extension operates with strict privacy principles:

Data Collected by Extension

• Job posting content: Only when you actively click to save a job, the extension captures publicly visible job information (title, company, description, salary, location) from supported job boards
• Authentication data: Your standout account credentials and session tokens to connect the extension to your account
• Current tab URL: Only to determine if you're on a supported job board page (the URL itself is not stored or transmitted unless saving a job)

Data NOT Collected

• Browsing history or activity on non-job board sites
• Personal information from job board accounts
• Data from other browser tabs or windows
• Keystrokes, mouse movements, or general browsing behavior
• Any data when the extension is not actively used

How Extension Data is Used

• Job posting content is transmitted securely to your standout account for organization and tracking
• Authentication tokens maintain your secure connection between the extension and your account
• No extension data is used for advertising, sold to third parties, or used for purposes unrelated to the core job-saving functionality

Extension Permissions

The extension requests only essential permissions:

• Storage: To save your authentication tokens locally
• Tabs: To detect when you're on a supported job board
• Identity: To enable secure Google Sign-In if you choose that authentication method
• Host permissions: To communicate with standout servers

Supported Job Boards

The extension currently works with:

• LinkedIn
• Indeed
• Glassdoor
