Thank you for choosing to use LinkedIn Surf (“Extension”). This Privacy Policy describes what, if any, personal data is collected, how data is processed, and your choices regarding your information when you use our Extension.

1. Data Collection

No Personal Data Collected

LinkedIn Surf is designed to assist you in filtering and exporting job listings from LinkedIn. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or personally identifiable information (PII) from you.

Local Data Storage

Any data stored by the Extension (such as user preferences or temporary job listing data) is saved locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage.

This data is used solely to improve your experience while using the Extension and is not sent to any external servers.

2. How We Use Data

Local Processing Only

All job listing data is gathered from your active LinkedIn session. This data is processed locally in your browser to filter and export job listings.

No job or personal data is transmitted to any third-party servers or used for any other purpose than to provide the Extension's intended functionality.

OAuth2 for Google Sheets Integration

The Extension uses OAuth2 authentication to interact with the Google Sheets API for exporting job results.

The OAuth2 tokens are used only to enable the export functionality, and any data shared with Google is solely that which you choose to export.

We do not save or store your Google account information beyond what is required for authorization during the export process.

3. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

No Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise share any of your data.

The Extension does not send any personal or job-related data to our servers or any other external parties.

Third-Party Services

The only third-party service integrated with the Extension is Google Sheets, through its API.

Any data access by Google Sheets is governed by Google's own Privacy Policy. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more details.

4. Security

Local-Only Data Processing

All data processing is performed locally within your browser environment.

We use Chrome's secure storage and adhere to best practices for local data management.

As no data is transmitted or stored externally, there is minimal risk of data exposure from our side.

5. Your Rights and Choices

No Data, No Concerns

Since no personal data is collected or stored by the Extension, there are no privacy settings or opt-out choices required for our service.

You can uninstall the Extension at any time. This will remove any locally stored data associated with the Extension from your browser.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You will be notified of any significant changes via an updated policy posted on our landing page. Please check back periodically for any updates.
