Grounded Resume Checker

What this extension does

Grounded Resume Checker compares a job posting against your own resume or background text using Anthropic's Claude models (or, if you choose, any model available through OpenRouter using your own OpenRouter key), and returns a cited, three-valued verdict per requirement — met, partially met, or missing — never a percentage or score.

What we collect

For resume analysis: nothing. There is no server of ours in that request path — your API key, job posting text, background text, and analysis results go directly to your chosen provider (Anthropic or OpenRouter) and back, and we never see any of it.

Separately, and only if you choose to use it: an optional "get tips + the toolkit offer by email" box appears after your first successful check. If you enter an email address there, we store that email address, and send it a short 3-part email sequence over about a week. You can unsubscribe from any of those emails with one click — doing so deletes your subscription. This is opt-in only; declining or ignoring the box changes nothing else about how the extension works.

You can also sign up for the same email sequence with the form on the Career Tools page at techtrendwire.com. If you do, we store your email address and the fact that you signed up on the website, and send you the same short 3-part sequence over about a week. You can unsubscribe from any of those emails with one click. That form collects only your email address; your resume and job-posting content never go through it.

What the extension handles, and where it goes

• Your API key (Anthropic, or OpenRouter if you choose that instead) — entered by you in Settings, stored only in chrome.storage.local on your own device. Sent only to your chosen provider's API, as authentication for your own requests.
• Job posting text — pasted by you, or read from the active tab only when you click "Grab text from this page." Sent directly from your browser to your chosen provider's API using your own key.
• Your background/resume text — pasted, uploaded, or drag-and-dropped by you (including any PDF text extracted entirely in your own browser — the file itself never leaves it), sent to your chosen provider's API the same way, and saved in chrome.storage.local so you don't have to re-paste it each time.
• Your facts (optional) — filled in by you under Settings (work authorization, lifting capacity, spoken languages, etc.) to make the check more accurate for that class of requirement. Saved only in chrome.storage.local, used only locally to adjust that check's own verdict — never sent to Anthropic, never sent to us or anyone else.
• Email address (optional) — only if you submit it in the "get tips by email" box. Sent to our own small backend and stored there, used only to send you the 3-part email sequence and to process unsubscribe requests. Never sent to Anthropic, never combined with your resume/job-posting content.

Third-party processing

By default, analysis requests go directly to Anthropic (api.anthropic.com) using your own key. Anthropic's handling of that data is governed by Anthropic's own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.

If you choose OpenRouter instead (Settings → AI provider), requests go to openrouter.ai using your own OpenRouter key, and OpenRouter forwards them to whichever underlying model you selected — meaning your data passes through OpenRouter's own infrastructure in addition to that model's provider. See OpenRouter's privacy policy if you use this option. Either way, TechTrendWire has no visibility into data sent through this extension to either provider.

If you opt into the email sequence, your email address is stored in our Supabase database and sent through Resend (our email delivery provider) to deliver the sequence. Neither service ever receives your resume or job-posting content — only the email address itself.

Permissions, and why

• storage — save your API key and background text locally
• activeTab / scripting — read the current tab's visible text, only when you click the "Grab text" button, never automatically
• host permission for api.anthropic.com — send your analysis requests directly to Anthropic (default provider)
• host permission for openrouter.ai — only contacted if you switch to OpenRouter as your provider in Settings; unused otherwise
• host permission for our lead-capture service — only contacted if you submit the optional email opt-in box; never contacted otherwise

Children's privacy

This extension is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
