Privacy, Security & Data Storage

How Apply Aide protects your privacy with 100% local browser storage, zero server tracking, and direct client-to-provider encryption.

Apply Aide is engineered from the ground up to be 100% privacy-first and local-only.

🔒 100% Client-Side Architecture

Unlike traditional SaaS tools that store your resume, application history, and messages on central cloud servers, Apply Aide operates entirely within your browser environment:

  • Zero Database Servers: We do not maintain user databases, accounts, or cloud storage.
  • Local Storage (chrome.storage.local): Your resume text, Knowledge Base, API keys, and custom prompts are stored strictly on your device.
  • Direct API Calls: When you trigger generation, your browser sends requests directly to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or DeepSeek. No middleman servers inspect or process your data.

🛡️ Security Best Practices

  1. Keep Your API Keys Safe: Never share your secret keys. Set usage limits in your AI provider dashboard (e.g. OpenAI Usage Limits).
  2. Revoke Keys Anytime: If you ever suspect a key is compromised, revoke it immediately in your provider dashboard and generate a new one.
