BriefCase LLC
This Cookie Policy explains how BriefCase LLC ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://www.mybriefcase.io ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
Cookies and Tracking on Shared BriefCase Links
When a registered BriefCase user shares a custom or public link with a third party, BriefCase places cookies and uses similar tracking technologies — including browser fingerprinting and localStorage — on the devices of individuals who visit that shared link, regardless of whether those individuals have a BriefCase account. These technologies are used to:
- Identify and distinguish unique visitors to a shared BriefCase link
- Detect return visits from the same device or browser
- Track session duration, scroll depth, section engagement, link and button clicks, and file downloads
- Generate an engagement score based on the visitor's behavior
- Associate behavioral data with any personally identifiable information provided by the BriefCase user who created the link, such as the recipient's name, email address, or employer
This data is collected on behalf of the registered BriefCase user who shared the link and is made available exclusively to that user through their BriefCase analytics dashboard. BriefCase does not sell this data to third parties.
By accessing a shared BriefCase link, you acknowledge that these technologies are in use. If you do not consent to this tracking, you should discontinue viewing the shared link immediately. For more information about how this data is collected, used, and stored, please review our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
Group Links and Forwarded Links
BriefCase users may create group links intended for multiple recipients simultaneously, or share individual links that recipients may forward to additional third parties. In both cases, BriefCase's cookie and tracking technologies apply equally to all individuals who access the link, regardless of whether they were the originally intended recipient or received the link through forwarding.
Specifically:
- Group link recipients — all individuals who access a group link are tracked individually, with separate behavioral analytics collected per unique device or browser session
- Forwarded link recipients — if an original recipient forwards a BriefCase link to another party, BriefCase will detect the change in device or browser and collect behavioral analytics on the new recipient as well. BriefCase's forwarding gate may prompt the new recipient to identify themselves before accessing the shared content
- Chain forwarding — BriefCase tracking applies to all downstream recipients regardless of how many times a link has been forwarded from its original recipient
All data collected from group link recipients and forwarded link recipients is made available exclusively to the registered BriefCase user who originally created and shared the link. By accessing any BriefCase link — whether received directly, as part of a group, or via forwarding — you acknowledge and consent to this data collection as described in this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy.
Cookies and AI-Powered Features
BriefCase uses cookies and session data to power AI-based features including resume tailoring, cover letter generation, and conversational AI. When you interact with any AI-powered feature on BriefCase, cookies and session tokens may be used to maintain context during your session and to transmit relevant profile data to our AI service provider, Google Gemini, for processing. This data is not retained by Google Gemini beyond the scope of the individual request. AI feature usage is only available to registered BriefCase users and is not applied to third-party recipients viewing a shared BriefCase link.
Engagement Scoring and Behavioral Profiling
BriefCase uses cookies and similar technologies to construct an engagement score for each visitor to a shared BriefCase link. This score is derived from a combination of behavioral signals collected during one or more sessions, including but not limited to time on page, sections viewed, scroll depth, clicks, downloads, and return visit frequency. This constitutes a form of automated behavioral profiling of the recipient and is disclosed here in accordance with applicable US state privacy laws and Canadian PIPEDA requirements. Recipients have the right to request access to or deletion of their engagement data by contacting us at privacy@mybriefcase.io.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, BriefCase LLC) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Preference Center. The Cookie Preference Center allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Preference Center can be found in the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit).
How can I control cookies on my browser?
As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions.
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
