Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 5, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how the "Hide Suggested & Sponsored Posts for LinkedIn" Chrome extension enhances your LinkedIn experience by removing unwanted content. We prioritize your privacy and want to assure you that no personal data is collected, stored, or transmitted by this Extension.

Data Collection and Processing

No Data Collection: This Extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal or usage data. All processing is performed locally on your device within your browser.

Local Processing: The Extension operates entirely on your local device. All modifications to the LinkedIn feed (DOM manipulations, filtering, etc.) occur locally, ensuring that your data remains private.

Permissions and Their Usage

The Extension requests the following permissions solely for its proper functioning:

scripting: Used to inject and execute code on web pages. This permission enables dynamic modifications of the LinkedIn feed's Document Object Model (DOM) to hide unwanted posts. No data is collected through this process.
activeTab: Grants temporary access to the currently active tab when you interact with the Extension (for example, by clicking its icon). This permission ensures that actions are performed only on the active LinkedIn feed page without collecting or storing any data.
Host Permissions (via content_scripts matches): Restricted to LinkedIn feed pages (URLs containing "/feed/"). This permission allows the Extension to operate exclusively on LinkedIn, ensuring it does not access or modify content on other websites.

Security

Since no personal data is transmitted or stored, there is minimal risk to your privacy. All operations are executed within your browser, and the Extension does not communicate with any external servers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the "Last Updated" date will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any updates.
