Privacy Policy
TL;DR — DevHire is a free Chrome extension. It reads only the public GitHub profile data on the page you have open, and the AI opener runs on your own Gemini API key (BYOK) directly from your browser. Profile data, your key, and your shortlist never reach our servers. No accounts, no tracking.
1. What we collect
- Nothing on our servers. The profile data DevHire reads, your Gemini API key, and your shortlist all stay inside the extension on your device.
- Your Gemini API key is stored locally in the browser's extension storage (
chrome.storage.local) so you don't have to re-paste it. Clear it any time by removing the key or the extension. - Your shortlist is stored locally on your device until you export or clear it.
- Extension is private: no tracking. The extension does not collect analytics or phone home.
- Website-only analytics. We run standard analytics and conversion tracking tags (Google Analytics, Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising UET, PostHog) only on our marketing and onboarding website to track successful installs and measure ad performance.
2. What we never do
- We never crawl GitHub in the background or scrape data behind a login. DevHire reads only the public profile page you actively open.
- We never receive, store, or forward profile data — there is no PixelForgeHub server in the path.
- We never train AI models on your data. The AI opener request goes directly from your browser to Google's Gemini API under your own API key's terms.
- We never sell, share, or rent user data, and we run no third-party trackers.
3. Data flow
| Event | Sent | Where | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build dossier | Public profile data from the open page | Stays in your browser | Not stored by us |
| Draft opener | Selected profile signals + your prompt | Your browser → Google Gemini API (direct) | Not stored by us |
| API key & shortlist | Your key, your saved candidates | Local extension storage on your device | Until you clear it / remove the extension |
Requests made under your Gemini key are governed by Google's Gemini API terms and privacy policy, between you and Google.
4. Your rights (GDPR + India DPDP)
- We hold no personal data about you on any server, so there is nothing for us to export or delete on our side.
- To erase everything locally, remove the extension from Chrome (Manage Extensions → Remove). This clears the stored key and shortlist.
