Job Radar for LinkedIn - Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy — Job Radar for LinkedIn

Last updated: August 2026

Job Radar for LinkedIn is a Chrome extension that runs entirely locally in your browser. It does not transmit, store, or sell any of your data.

What the extension does

  • Scans the LinkedIn pages you open (search results and your home feed) to detect "Connect" buttons and to find posts that match keywords you entered or that contain email addresses.
  • Sends connection requests and sends an empty "note" dialog only when you click Start, using a delay you configure. The extension does not run unattended without your explicit action.
  • Adds a right-click context menu item ("Add post to Include/Exclude keywords") so you can build keyword filters from posts you select.

Data we access

Data Purpose Where it lives
LinkedIn page content (post text, author headlines, Connect buttons) Keyword/email matching and button detection Read-only, in your browser only
Emails found in posts you view Shown in the extension's Found panel for your convenience In-memory, your browser only
Your settings (keywords, delays, toggle states) To persist your preferences chrome.storage.sync — local to your Chrome profile

What we do NOT do

  • We do not collect, transmit, or store your personal data, contacts, or email content on any server.
  • We do not use analytics, trackers, or advertising SDKs.
  • We do not access your LinkedIn credentials or cookies.
  • We do not share or sell any data with third parties.

Permissions

  • storage — persist your settings locally.
  • activeTab — scan the current LinkedIn page for Connect buttons and posts.
  • contextMenus — provide the right-click "Add to keywords" actions.

Your control

  • All scanning stops when you close the page or uninstall the extension.
  • Use Reset in the popup to clear counters, highlights, and viewed state.
  • Uninstalling the extension removes it completely from your browser.
