Link Highlighter™Privacy and data practices
Privacy policy

Your privacy matters.

Effective date: November 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Link Highlighter™ (the “Extension”) handles information when you use the Chrome browser extension. The Extension helps identify and highlight DoFollow, NoFollow and Sponsored links on the webpage you choose to analyse.

In short: Link analysis happens locally in your browser. The Extension does not send the page's detected links or CSV exports to our servers. Information is sent to our feedback service only when you choose to submit the feedback form.

1. Information processed by the Extension

When you activate a highlighting or reset feature, the Extension accesses the currently active webpage to identify hyperlinks and read the information needed for the feature, including:

This information is processed in the browser to display highlights and counters. It is not transmitted to the Extension developer. The Extension does not maintain a browsing history or crawl the entire website.

2. CSV exports

If you choose “Export All Links to CSV”, the Extension creates a CSV file on your device containing link type, URL, anchor text and rel attributes for the links detected on the current page. The file is provided through Chrome's download functionality. The Extension does not upload the CSV file.

3. Preferences stored locally

The Extension uses Chrome's local storage to remember your selected appearance theme and text size. These preferences remain in your browser and are not sent to the Extension developer.

4. Feedback form

If you choose to submit the feedback form, the Extension sends the information below to Formspree, our feedback form service:

Submitting feedback is optional and happens only after you press the send button. Formspree processes the submission on our behalf and handles it under its own privacy terms. See the Formspree Privacy Policy. Do not include passwords, payment details or other sensitive information in feedback.

5. Sharing and clipboard

If you use the sharing feature, the Extension prepares a message for the sharing option you select. If you choose to copy the message, it is copied to your clipboard. The Extension does not collect clipboard contents or transmit the copied message to us.

6. Information we do not collect

Except for information you voluntarily submit through the feedback form as described above, the Extension does not send us the webpage content it analyses, detected link data, CSV exports, browsing history, passwords, payment information or location data. It does not sell user data or use analysed webpage information for advertising.

7. Sharing and service providers

We do not sell or rent personal information. Feedback submissions are transmitted to Formspree solely to receive and manage feedback. Formspree may process submitted information as described in its privacy policy. We do not share locally analysed link data or exported CSV files with third parties.

8. Data retention and control

Theme and text-size preferences remain in Chrome's local storage until changed or removed. CSV files are saved wherever you choose through Chrome's download process. Feedback submissions are handled and retained by Formspree according to its service terms and applicable settings. You can avoid sending feedback information by not submitting the feedback form.

9. Children's privacy

The Extension is a general-purpose SEO utility and is not designed to collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if the Extension's features or data practices change. The latest version will be published at this page, with its effective date updated accordingly.

11. Contact

For privacy questions or requests concerning a feedback submission, contact the developer by using the feedback form in Link Highlighter™. Please do not include sensitive personal information in your message.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use: The Extension's use and transfer of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
