Privacy Policy for Leon's Link Lens

Effective Date: July 5, 2025

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Leon's Link Lens ("we," "our," or "the extension") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our Chrome browser extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Leon's Link Lens does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information or browsing data. Specifically:

  • We do not track your browsing history
  • We do not collect personal information such as name, email, or location
  • We do not store webpage content or URLs you visit
  • We do not maintain any databases of user information
  • We do not share data with third parties (except as noted below for payment processing)

Information We Access

Leon's Link Lens only accesses the following information from the currently active webpage when you manually click the "Scan Links" button:

  • External links present on the current page
  • Link attributes (specifically rel="nofollow" tags)
  • Robots meta tags (limited to noindex, nofollow, and noimageindex directives)
  • Current page hostname (used locally to identify external vs. internal links)

Important: All analysis is performed entirely within your browser. No webpage data is transmitted to external servers or stored by our extension.

How We Use Information

The accessed information is used solely to:

  • Display a list of external links found on the current page
  • Categorize links as "dofollow" or "nofollow" based on their attributes
  • Show warnings about robots meta tag directives that may affect SEO
  • Provide pagination for better user experience when many links are found

All processing occurs locally in your browser and results are only displayed within the extension popup.

Payment Processing

Leon's Link Lens uses ExtensionPay and Stripe for secure payment processing. When you purchase the extension:

  • ExtensionPay handles user authentication and license verification
  • Stripe processes payment transactions securely
  • We do not store any payment information on our servers
  • Only your payment status (paid/unpaid) is tracked to enable extension functionality
