• Disclaimer: Scores displayed by the Extension are the same probabilistic opinions described in Section 2. The Extension reads only job posting content from pages you visit and sends it to Hire4Real.fyi for scoring - it does not access your browsing history, personal data, or content on non-supported sites
• Third-party sites: The Extension operates on LinkedIn and Indeed. We are not affiliated with these platforms. Changes to their page structure may temporarily affect Extension functionality
• Termination: We may disable Extension access at any time for accounts that violate these terms. You may uninstall the Extension at any time to revoke all permissions
