MetaDay Mia: browser extension privacy

Last updated: 7 November 2026.

The MetaDay assistant, Mia, is a Chrome extension. It works in your own logged-in tabs, on tasks you start and on job posts from a hiring run you set live. MetaDay AI Ltd. is responsible for this data. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy.

Files you attach in Mia's chat

You can attach, paste or drop a picture or a PDF into Mia's chat. Only the file you choose is sent to MetaDay, over your signed-in session, to answer that one message. It is not stored and is discarded once the answer is produced. One file per message, up to 10 MB. This is different from the screenshots described below, which Mia takes herself only on job board and ATS pages: Mia never takes a picture or file from a page for you to attach.

What it sends to MetaDay

• Your saved workflows ("skills"), tasks and run status, so they stay in sync with your own workspace. It reads your MetaDay session cookie on metaday.ai to do this.
• Short on-page labels, such as a button's text, so a saved workflow keeps working when a page changes.
• On a job board page or your own applicant tracking system (ATS): the page's control labels. If you say yes for that website, also a screenshot of that tab after a step, normally at most 120 per run, so MetaDay can see what the assistant sees. The assistant asks you once for each website, the first time it would need one there. The first yes also has Chrome ask to let Mia reach all websites, which you can take back in Chrome's extension settings. Your answer is kept for you and your company. Nothing is sent from a website before you say yes, and your posts run the same way without it. You can change an answer in the account menu in the side panel. Your company can also switch screenshots off. Emails, phone numbers and message text are covered before the picture leaves your browser. If the assistant can't be sure, it sends no picture. Pictures are deleted when the run ends, within 24 hours at the latest.
• It never sends a screenshot of LinkedIn, your email, MetaDay itself, a messaging or inbox page, a sign-in or payment page, or a page about candidates, applicants or resumes, except the add-candidate form of a push you started.
• Email you ask Mia to write in Gmail or Outlook, and replies there, so they show in your workspace. You press Send.
• LinkedIn conversations you open, so a reply can show in your workspace. When you press Import replies, the last messages of conversations with people already in your company's Scout. When you ask Mia for a reply, the last few messages of that open conversation, as shown on your screen, and the name of the person are sent to MetaDay with your request, together with the job and the notes your company already keeps in MetaDay, so the draft answers what was actually said. That text is used for that one draft and is not stored.
• Applicant CVs, when you press Fetch CVs for a job.

Small screenshots shown in the side panel stay in your browser's memory and are not sent.

What it does by itself

• In Hands-off mode it posts a free job post, and a run you set live starts that post by itself. It never pays for or sponsors a post, and it stops at anything that costs money.
• A push you start to your own ATS fills the form and saves each candidate record.
• On LinkedIn it only prepares a draft. You always press Send or Post, unless your company turns on free LinkedIn job posts.

Who processes it

This information is processed by MetaDay and our AI providers, under contract, to do the task you asked for (see sections 6C and 12 of our Privacy Policy). The extension contacts only MetaDay's own servers, plus the job board or ATS itself to fetch a CV you asked for. It uses no third-party analytics or trackers, and no data is sold.

Your control

• Passwords are never recorded, stored or sent.
• Mia has standing access to metaday.ai, LinkedIn, Gmail, Outlook, Indeed, InfoJobs, Glassdoor and ZipRecruiter. For any other board or ATS it asks Chrome the first time. You can take that back at any time in Chrome's extension settings.
• You can say no to screenshots for a website, and your posts run the same way without them. Your company can also switch them off.
• Uninstalling the extension stops all of this. To delete what's stored, delete your MetaDay account, or see our data deletion page.
