A privacy-first approach to job automation
How to think about resumes, application history, and LinkedIn access when using a Chrome extension for job applications.

Job-search automation handles personal information. That means the product should be clear about what it needs, why it needs it, and where you stay in control.
Your resume is sensitive
Your resume can include employment history, education, location, phone number, email address, and other personal details. Upload only the resume you are comfortable using for applications.
LinkedIn access should be purposeful
Trouvvo uses your active LinkedIn session to work with Easy Apply jobs in your browser. That access should serve a specific job-search workflow, not become invisible background activity you cannot understand.
History creates accountability
Application history helps you inspect what happened after a run. Use it to confirm which jobs were attempted and to improve your next search.
Automation still needs judgment
The safest workflow keeps you involved: define the search, review the results, refine your preferences, and stop when the automation no longer matches your intent.
