3. Specialized Data Processing: Gmail Synchronization

JustAJobApp serves as a specialized data processor using the Google OAuth2 framework and the Gmail API. We utilize the following technical protocols:

  • Refresh Token Authentication: The App utilizes secure, encrypted refresh tokens rather than account passwords to maintain connectivity.
  • Background Synchronization: These tokens allow the App to periodically check for updates or new submissions in the background without requiring active user login.
  • Incremental Synchronization: We only request messages received after the timestamp of your last successfully processed email.

4. Targeted Data Filtering

The Gmail API is filtered through three distinct layers to ensure privacy:

  • Initial Discovery: Potential job-related messages are identified based on keywords defined in our applied_email_filter.yaml.
  • LLM-Based Analysis: An analysis layer defined in our llm_utils.py utilizes programmatic filters to discard newsletters and personal data unrelated to your job search.
  • Domain-Based Optimization: As applications are verified, future fetches may rely on stored email domains from verified job-related emails to maintain tracking reliability.

If you are accessing the Websites from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws governing data collection and use that differ from U.S. law, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States.
