Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 26, 2026

Overview

PayContext is a browser extension designed to add salary context and hiring-source signals to SEEK job results. This policy explains what data the extension processes and how that data is handled.

What PayContext Collects

PayContext does not collect personal data for transmission to us, does not run analytics, and does not track your browsing across websites. PayContext runs only on SEEK pages covered by its permissions and processes page information locally in your browser.

Local Processing and Local Storage

PayContext stores data locally in your browser's extension storage to improve performance and keep results consistent as you move between SEEK search results and job detail pages. This data is not sent to PayContext servers or shared with third parties.

  • Extension settings needed for the product to remember its local behavior.
  • A local cache of supported SEEK job detail data keyed by SEEK job ID.

The local job detail cache may include job title, employer name, location, classification or category, work type, advertiser type, salary values or salary period, and a limited excerpt of job description text used to improve matching and context.

Cached job detail entries automatically expire after up to 7 days, and older or stale entries are removed when PayContext refreshes its local cache.

Salary Data Sources

  • Employer-provided salary information shown in SEEK listings, when available.
  • Market salary context derived from publicly available datasets such as ABS and other public salary references when a listing does not disclose pay.

PayContext does not provide a guaranteed salary for an individual role and does not claim that market guidance is the exact pay offered by an employer.

Permissions

PayContext requests only the permissions needed for its core functionality:

  • Access to SEEK pages so the extension can read listing and job detail information on supported SEEK pages and display PayContext UI there.
  • Storage so the extension can save settings and the local job detail cache described above in your browser.

Data Sharing

PayContext does not sell, transmit, or share personal information with third parties. The extension does not use external analytics, advertising, or remote data collection services.

Security

Because processing stays local to your browser, PayContext is designed to minimize unnecessary data exposure. Removing the extension removes its access to SEEK pages, and locally stored extension data can be cleared by removing the extension or clearing extension storage.

Policy Updates

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect product changes or compliance updates. Any changes will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
