Last updated: February 24, 2025

1. Introduction

   Welcome to FlashApply, a job application automation tool provided by Floating Binary Software Systems Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle user data when you use our desktop software application (“Software”).

   By installing or using FlashApply, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies, please do not use the Software.

2. What Data We Collect

   FlashApply is designed as a local-first application, meaning it operates entirely on your device without requiring an internet connection for core functions. We do not collect, store, or transmit personally identifiable information (PII).

   Data That Stays Local (Not Collected by Us):

   We do not collect or store the following:

   • Job applications and autofill data
   • Resume and cover letters

   Data We May Collect (Anonymized & Aggregated Analytics):

   To improve our services, we may collect non-personal, aggregated analytics data, such as:

   • Number of job applications submitted through the Software
   • Types of jobs applied for (e.g., job category, industry)
   • General usage statistics (e.g., frequency of use, feature engagement)
   • System information (e.g., operating system version, device type)

   We do NOT collect personal identifiers, job application details, or employer-specific information. This data is collected anonymously and is used only to improve FlashApply and optimize its features.

3. How We Use Your Data

   Any data we collect is used strictly for the following purposes:

   • Improving Software Performance - Identifying and fixing bugs, enhancing features.
   • Understanding Job Application Trends - Analyzing job categories and application patterns (without collecting personal data).
   • Security & Fraud Prevention - Detecting unauthorized modifications or abuse.
   • Customer Support - Assisting with technical issues upon user request.
   • We never sell, share, or monetize user data.

4. Data Security & Protection

   We implement strict security measures to protect your information, including:

   • End-to-End Local Processing - All personal job search data remains on your device.
   • Limited Network Communication - The Software only connects to our servers for necessary updates or error reporting (if enabled).
   • No Cloud Storage - FlashApply does not automatically sync or back up your job applications, resumes, or any other private data.

5. Third-Party Services

   FlashApply does not integrate with third-party analytics providers, ad networks, or external services that track user behavior. However, if you voluntarily interact with external job portals, your data usage may be subject to those platforms' privacy policies.

6. Your Choices & Control

   You remain in full control of your data. You can:

   • Disable analytics reporting (if applicable) through settings.
   • Uninstall the Software at any time, which removes all locally stored data.
   • Contact us for data inquiries if you have any concerns.

7. Refunds & Data Retention

   If you request a refund under our refund policy, we may retain basic purchase records for compliance and security purposes but do not store or retain job search-related data.

8. Children's Privacy

   FlashApply is not intended for children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

   We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as needed. Any changes will be posted on our website, and continued use of FlashApply after updates means you accept the revised terms.
