🔒 Our Privacy Commitment
All PrivateLink.io products collect ZERO data. We believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a feature. Our extensions operate entirely locally in your browser with no external connections or tracking.
What Data We Collect
None. PrivateLink.io extensions do not collect, store, track, or transmit any user data whatsoever. This applies to all products in the PrivateLink.io family.

How Our Extensions Work
All PrivateLink.io extensions follow these core principles:
Local Processing
All processing happens on your device within your browser. No data is transmitted to external servers or third-party services.
No Permissions Beyond Necessity
Each extension requests only the minimum permissions required for its specific functionality:
- Storage Permission: To save user preferences locally (never synchronized)
- Host Permissions: To operate on specific websites only where needed
- No Network Permissions: None of our extensions make external network requests
No Third-Party Services
Our extensions do not integrate with analytics platforms, tracking services, advertising networks, or external libraries that could compromise your privacy.
Data You Control
The only data stored is what you explicitly control:
| Data Type | Storage Location | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Extension Preferences | Browser Storage (Local) | You can clear via browser settings anytime |
| Screenshots (Longshot) | Your Downloads Folder | You manage all files |
| Email Content | Gmail Servers Only | PrivateLink.io never accesses |
Open Source = Verifiable Privacy
Every PrivateLink.io extension is open source on GitHub. You can:
- Review the complete source code

✨ Privacy by Design
PrivateLink.io products are built with privacy as the foundation, not an afterthought. We can't misuse your data because we never have access to it in the first place. This isn't a promise we make—it's how our software is architected.
