Privacy policy
Your data stays yours
BumbleBee is built local-first. It has no backend and collects no analytics. This policy explains what that means in practice.
Last updated: 2026
The short version
BumbleBee is a Chrome extension that runs entirely on your device. Your résumé, personal details, API keys, generated documents and application history are stored locally in your browser and encrypted at rest. There is no BumbleBee server, no account, and no telemetry.
What BumbleBee stores — and where
-
API keys & preferences — in
chrome.storage.sync, with secrets AES-GCM encrypted via the Web Crypto API. -
Résumé files — in
chrome.storage.local. - Job records, cover letters & your application log — in your browser's IndexedDB, with personal fields encrypted per field.
BumbleBee stores nothing on any server we operate, because there is no such server.
What leaves your device
The only outbound network requests are the AI model calls you trigger, sent directly from the extension's background worker to the provider you chose — Anthropic (Claude), GitHub Copilot, or GitHub Models — using your own credentials. The job-page content and résumé context needed for a given task are included in those requests so the model can do its work. Those providers process the request under their own terms and privacy policies. BumbleBee adds no intermediary.
What we collect
Nothing. BumbleBee has no analytics, no tracking pixels, no crash
reporting and no BroadcastChannel or background beacons.
Permissions
BumbleBee requests the narrowest permissions it can: an explicit allow-list of supported job boards plus your chosen AI provider's API. Additional job-board origins are requested only at runtime, on your gesture. Sensitive origins (banking, healthcare, government, auth) are excluded outright.
Your control
Because all data is local, you can export or erase it at any time from the extension's settings, or by removing the extension — which deletes its local storage. You hold your own API keys and can revoke them with your provider whenever you like.
Children
BumbleBee is not directed to children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date. Material changes will be reflected in the extension listing.
