Sourcer's Desk — Privacy Policy

The short version: your data lives in your browser, on your computer. There is no account, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking, and nothing is ever sold. The extension never connects to LinkedIn — the browser itself enforces that (here's how, and how to verify it yourself). If you buy PRO, the only thing the extension ever sends us is your license key, to check that your plan is active.

Everything you create in the extension is saved in your browser's local extension storage on your own computer:

• Your projects, clients, and candidate cards (names, titles, companies, public profile links, notes, statuses)
• Your saved searches and search templates
• Email formats and domains looked up for companies you research
• Your settings

None of this is transmitted to us or to any server. We could not read it if we wanted to — there is no "us" on the wire. Uninstalling the extension deletes it all (export a JSON backup first if you want to keep your work; backups are ordinary files saved to your computer).

The extension talks to a small, fixed list of services, each for one specific job. The sites it can read are fixed in its manifest and enforced by the browser. The one addition, our own license server, is used only by PRO customers and only receives a license key.

That's the complete list. No candidate names, notes, lists, or selected text are ever sent anywhere. Company names and domains are sent only for lookups, and a PRO customer's license key only for the daily plan check.

The extension never connects to, reads, automates, or runs on linkedin.com — for any purpose. linkedin.com appears nowhere in the extension's permissions, and Chrome therefore blocks the extension from touching it. This is enforced by the browser, not merely promised — anyone can verify it by opening the extension's manifest.json. You view profiles yourself, logged in as yourself, exactly as you would without the extension.

When you highlight text on any page and choose Send selection to Sourcer's Desk, Chrome hands the extension only the text you selected. That text is parsed on your machine to fill in a candidate's employer and title, and is never transmitted to any server. If parsing fails, the extension may save the received text as a small file in your Downloads folder so you can see exactly what was received — that file stays on your computer.

PRO is an optional paid plan. Payment happens on Stripe's secure checkout page, not inside the extension, and we never see or store your card. When you buy, we keep only what's needed to run your plan:

• your license key
• the email address you paid with, so we can send your key and re-send it if you lose it
• Stripe's customer and subscription IDs, your plan (monthly or yearly) and whether it's active
• the time your key was last checked

None of your projects, candidates, notes or searches are part of this. They stay on your computer, exactly as for everyone else. To cancel, use Manage billing in the extension's PRO box. To have your purchase record deleted, email us; we keep payment records only as long as tax law requires.

• No accounts, no sign-in, no cloud sync (a PRO license key is not an account: it only says your plan is paid)
• No analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking of any kind
• No advertising, no data brokers, no selling or sharing of data — there is no data to sell
• No remote code: everything the extension runs ships inside the extension package

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated effective date. Questions: support@sourcerdesk.com.
