Overview

CoverCraft is a Chrome extension that helps users generate job-application materials from live job pages. It can extract job context, create tailored cover letters, support follow-up questions, prepare resume-related output, and optionally sync reusable sessions and profile data when the user signs in.

Information CoverCraft Handles

• Website content: job posting text, page context, and page URL needed to understand the current role.
• Profile data: name, email, phone, website, skills, work history, achievements, and related portfolio details entered or imported by the user.
• User-generated content: generated cover letters, question-and-answer outputs, saved sessions, research summaries, and resume-related artifacts.
• Authentication data: Google sign-in and Firebase authentication state used for optional account access and sync.
• Local runtime settings: model selection, workflow preferences, and user-entered API keys for OpenRouter, Groq, and Tavily.

How CoverCraft Uses Information

• To extract role, company, and page context from a live job page.
• To generate job-specific cover letters, answers, and resume-related outputs requested by the user.
• To save reusable sessions and reconnect users with earlier work.
• To keep the active profile available across letters, exports, and account surfaces.
• To support optional sign-in and cloud sync for sessions and profile state.

Third-Party Services

CoverCraft may send user-requested data to external services only when needed to provide a feature the user explicitly invokes.

• OpenRouter or Groq: for AI generation requested by the user.
• Tavily: for company research requested by the user.
• Google and Firebase: for optional sign-in and optional cloud sync.

What Stays Local

User-entered OpenRouter, Groq, and Tavily API keys are stored locally in extension storage for runtime use. CoverCraft does not sync those provider API keys to Google or Firebase cloud storage.

Cloud Sync

If the user signs in and enables cloud sync, CoverCraft may store sessions, research summaries, generated outputs, and active profile data in the developer-managed Firebase backend. If cloud sync is disabled, that data remains local-first in the extension.

Data Sharing

CoverCraft does not sell user data and does not share user data for advertising. Data is only transmitted to the service providers required to perform generation, research, sign-in, or sync functionality requested by the user.

User Controls

• Users can edit or replace their active profile.
• Users can delete local sessions and stored outputs.
• Users can choose whether to enable cloud sync.
• Users can sign out of Google-backed sync at any time.
• Users can remove the extension to stop further local use.

Security

CoverCraft transmits data over HTTPS to supported providers and cloud services. Access to synced cloud data is intended to be scoped to the signed-in user account through the configured backend rules.
