Privacy Policy — Feed Cleaner for LinkedIn

Last updated: 2026-07-10

Short version: this extension does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any data. Everything it reads and stores stays on your device (or syncs only through your own Chrome/Google account, which you control).

What the extension reads

Feed Cleaner for LinkedIn runs only on www.linkedin.com pages. To decide whether to hide a post, it reads content already visible to you in the page: post text, author names, and author profile URLs. It does not read private messages, account settings, or any page outside linkedin.com.

What the extension stores

All settings and lists are stored using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage API, which lives in your browser profile:

• Filter preferences (which filters are on, sensitivity levels, ghost mode, pause/snooze state)
• Muted phrases you configure
• Muted / always-shown authors — a name and public profile URL for each person you mute or allow via the right-click menu
• Individually allowed posts — an internal identifier (author + a text fragment) for posts you mark "Always show"
• Lifetime statistics — counts of how many posts were hidden and why (no post content or identities are kept in these counts)

This data is stored via chrome.storage.sync and chrome.storage.local. sync data is synced across your own devices by Chrome when you're signed into your Google account — the same mechanism Chrome uses for your bookmarks and browser settings. It is not sent to us or to any third party; we have no server and no access to it.

What the extension does not do

• No external network requests, APIs, or analytics of any kind
• No advertising or advertising identifiers
• No selling, renting, or sharing of data with third parties
• No use of the data for any purpose other than filtering your own feed

Permissions explained

• storage — save your settings and lists locally, described above.
• activeTab / host access to linkedin.com — required to read and filter the feed on LinkedIn pages you have open. The extension does not run on, or request access to, any other site.
• contextMenus — adds the right-click options "Hide this person's posts" and "Always show this person's posts."

If this policy changes, the updated date at the top of this page will change. Material changes will also be reflected in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing.
