Your job application tracker data (saved, applied, interviewed, rejected statuses) is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage and is never transmitted to our servers.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics may set cookies to distinguish unique users and sessions. These cookies are only set if you consent to analytics cookies.

7. Security

Since ScrollGigs does not collect or store personal data on its servers, there is no user database to breach. Your job tracker data is stored locally in your browser and never transmitted to us.

8. Third-Party Links

Job listings displayed on ScrollGigs link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting any personal information.
