平和 - Hey, Washington! Software

When you browse the LinkedIn web site as a signed-in user, your name and photo can appear one or more times on each LinkedIn web page.

A stranger passing nearby who sees your computer screen, or someone viewing a screen capture of a LinkedIn web page that you might have shared publicly, might be able to figure out who you are.

The extension offers you some privacy under those circumstances by giving you the ability to obscure your name and photos while you browse the LinkedIn web site. To choose which information to obscure, visit the ⚙️ Settings page.

What information do you collect?

The following pieces of information are collected by this Settings page and stored locally whether or not you are logged in to LinkedIn. Each of these is a value of "true" or "false" in answer to the question "Should this extension censor (visually obscure) your ____?"

• full name
• profile picture
• profile's background picture
• occupation
• company name

The following pieces of information are collected from the data sent to your web browser by LinkedIn and stored locally only when you are browsing to a LinkedIn page while logged in to LinkedIn.

• Your first (given) name
• Your last (family) name
• Your profile photo
• Your profile's background photo
• Your occupation
• Your company name
• Your custom LinkedIn profile URL (e.g. the "EXAMPLEUSER" part of the URL "https://www.linkedin.com/in/EXAMPLEUSER")
• What LinkedIn calls your "standard pronouns" (e.g. he/him)
• What LinkedIn calls your "custom pronouns"

How do you use this information?

This information is used to help the extension quickly identify the personally identifiable text and images that belong to you that should be made difficult to read by someone passing by who happens to look at your computer screen.

[Statement required by Google:] "The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements."

The "Google APIs" referenced by "information received by Google APIs" used by the extension are the chrome.storage APIs . These APIs allow the extension to cache (store for fast retrieval later) information that it collected from the LinkedIn web pages delivered to your web browser.

What information do you share?

• None of it. This information is not shared.
• This information is only stored locally in your browser's cache via chrome.storage.local APIs.
• If you use more than one browser (e.g. Chrome and Edge), each browser has its own cache that is separate from the other's.

Where can I review and delete this information?

You can view your data in the extension, but the following instructions will show you how to view, edit, and delete what information the extension collected from the LinkedIn web site about you.

Instructions for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge:

1. Open the browser's DevTools (development tools) window by doing any one of the following.
   • Press CTRL+SHIFT+I ("I" as in "indigo").
   • Press the F12 key.
   • Right-click on the web page then choose "Inspect" from the context menu.
   • Open the browser's menu ("⁝" or "…"), then choose "More tools", then choose "Developer tools".
2. Switch to the "Application" tab in the horizontal menu at the top of the DevTools window.
3. In the list on the left, under the heading "Storage", find "Extension storage".
4. Expand "Extension storage" by double-clicking it or single-clicking its "▶️" (rightward-pointing) arrow.
5. Find and expand the extension's name to reveal four new items below it: Session, Local, Sync, and Managed.
6. Click any of these four names to learn where the extension stores your data, but you'll find that it only uses "Local".
7. If you wish to change or remove any of this data, you can right-click on it and choose "Edit" or "Delete".
8. To delete all of the extension's data, remove the extension from your browser. If you've installed the extension on multiple browsers and/or multiple computers, you will have to uninstall the extension from each of them.
