Privacy Policy for Visly Chrome Extension
Effective Date: April 12, 2025
At Visly, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when using the Visly Chrome extension.
1. Information We Collect
Personal Data:
Visly does not collect any personal information such as your name, email address, or login credentials. We do not require you to sign up or log in to use the extension.
Usage Data:
We do not track any personal data or activity outside of what is required to provide the core functionality of the extension. Visly only stores basic, locally-saved information like the last generated resume link or the last person whose name you copied for tracking.
2. How We Use the Data
Functionality:
Visly uses the information stored locally in your browser (such as the last copied name or generated link) to help you track who views your resume and when. The data is used only to enhance the functionality and performance of the extension.
Notifications:
When a person views the resume link you've shared, Visly will send you a notification with the person's name, date, and time of view. This is done through your local browser and is not stored on any external server.
3. Data Storage
Local Storage:
All the data generated and stored by Visly (like tracked links or the last name copied) is kept in your browser's local storage and is never sent to any external servers. We do not have access to your data or the information tracked by the extension.
No Third-Party Access:
Visly does not share or sell any information to third parties. The extension operates entirely within your browser and only interacts with the pages you visit, strictly for the purpose of enabling the tracking functionality.
4. Security
Visly does not process or store any sensitive personal information, so there is no sensitive data at risk. Your tracked data is stored securely in your browser's local storage and can only be accessed by you. We encourage you to ensure that your browser and devices are kept secure by using appropriate security measures.
5. Permissions
Visly requests the following permissions:
- activeTab: To access the current page when the extension is in use.
- scripting: To inject scripts into the page and detect highlighted text.
- storage: To save the last tracked information locally.
- host_permissions: To function on specific domains like LinkedIn where you might share your resume.
These permissions are used only to enable the extension's functionality and are not used for tracking or collecting personal information.
6. Data Retention
Since Visly only stores data locally in your browser's storage, there is no server-side retention of any data. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or uninstalling the extension. All data is erased upon uninstallation or manual deletion by the user.
7. Children's Privacy
Visly is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from children, we will take steps to delete such information from our records.
8. Updates to the Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we update the policy, the "Effective Date" at the top will be revised.
