Terms of use

These terms say what you agree to when you use Blanket. It is personal software that runs on your computer, so most of them are about your responsibilities. They are plain-language notes, not legal advice.

1. Your use

You use Blanket for your own job search, with your own accounts. You are responsible for everything done with those accounts, including what Blanket does on your behalf.

2. Job sites and employers

Job boards and employers' application systems have their own terms, and some limit automated access or automated applications. You must follow them. Blanket searches slowly, within a shared request budget you can change on the Job sources page. It reads the boards that need a sign-in (LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Monster) only through your own signed-in browser, never types your sign-in for LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter or Monster, and stops for you when a site asks for a CAPTCHA or another check. Even so, a site may limit or suspend an account it believes is automated. That risk is yours.

When a job site asks for an account, the worker signs in with the login saved in your vault (one attempt), or creates the account with the email saved in Blanket: it saves the password in your vault before typing it, ticks the site's terms box (never an arbitration or waiver box), and enters the emailed code or opens the site's own verification link from Gmail (read-only). You agree to this when you accept the extension's apply agreement.

On Oracle HCM sites the worker uses the email saved in Blanket and ticks the site's terms box for you. When the site emails a verification code to a returning candidate ("Confirm your identity"), the worker reads that code from Gmail and enters it once (see section 3). It never types an E-signature unless you told it to for that application or saved a standing yes.

3. Applying

Fill-only: Blanket fills the form and stops at Review; you check it and click Submit yourself.

Auto submit: you turn it on from the home page after accepting its terms once (the date is recorded). Blanket then fills and sends applications for you, using your saved answers and resume, without showing you each form first. You are responsible for every application it sends, including wrong, duplicate or unwanted ones. You can switch it off at any time.

Access while an application is open. Starting an application from the dashboard (the Apply page or the queue) is your permission, for that application only and only while its tab is open, for Blanket to:

• control that one tab through the extension (your browser shows a "started debugging this browser" bar the whole time);
• use your vault for the address and sign-ins the form needs. If the vault is locked, Blanket still asks for your password: it cannot open the vault without it;
• read Gmail (read-only) for that application's verification code and confirmation email, and type an emailed verification code into the page.

This permission ends when the run ends or the tab closes, whichever comes first. Blanket then lets go of the tab and stops reading mail for that application. You can end it at any time by closing the tab, clicking Cancel on the debugging bar, or pressing Cancel on the Apply page.

A click, a "thank you" page or a page that looks like a receipt is not proof that an application arrived. Blanket marks an application confirmed only with outside evidence, and keeps uncertain ones visible until you resolve them.

4. What you provide must be true

Your resume, saved answers and anything you approve must be accurate. Sensitive answers (work authorization, legal and demographic questions) are only what you confirm yourself. Tailored resume text is checked against your resume, but you decide what to use and you are responsible for what is sent in your name.

5. Estimates, not guarantees

Fit checks, eligibility labels, matches and parsed resume details are automated and can be wrong or incomplete. Read the posting before relying on them.

6. Services you connect or use

Gmail (read-only; you can remove access at any time on your Google account's permissions page, or forget the link in Blanket), OpenAI (optional), and place lookups (OpenStreetMap and the US Census) have their own terms and privacy policies, which apply to whatever is sent to them. See Privacy for exactly what that is.

7. Your data and backups

Your data stays in a folder on your computer. You are responsible for backing it up and keeping it safe. Blanket does not store your password in a recoverable form, so it cannot recover one you have forgotten.

8. No warranty

Blanket is provided as is, without any warranty. Its authors are not responsible for any harm or loss from using it, including wrong, duplicate or unwanted applications, missed or rejected opportunities, and blocked or suspended accounts.

9. Changes

These terms can change as Blanket changes. The copy shown here is the one that ships with the version you are running.
