Fetch is a Chrome extension that lets you copy the information visible on a LinkedIn
profile page you are viewing (such as name, headline, company, location and connection
degree) to your clipboard, and keep a local history of profiles you have viewed. This
policy explains exactly what data Fetch handles and what it does not.
The short version: Everything Fetch reads from LinkedIn stays
on your own device. Fetch has no servers of its own and makes no
network calls of its own — it never sends your profile data, browsing activity, or
history to us or to any third party. Nothing ever leaves your device.
1. Information Fetch accesses
When you are on a LinkedIn profile page (linkedin.com/in/…), Fetch reads the
publicly visible profile information on that page so it can copy it for you. This may include:
Name, headline/title, current company, location, connection degree, and the “About” text
The profile URL
Fetch only reads this information from LinkedIn pages. It does not read content on any other website.
2. Where your data is stored
All data Fetch handles is stored locally in your browser using Chrome’s
built-in storage (chrome.storage) on your device:
Profile history — profiles you copy or auto-collect
Settings — your preferences, copy templates, and counters
This data never leaves your device through Fetch, and we (the developer) have no access to it.
3. Data we transmit
None. Fetch does not send your profile data, history, browsing activity, or any other
information to us or to any third party. Fetch makes no network requests of its own — it
only reads pages you open on LinkedIn and stores the result locally on your device.
4. What Fetch does NOT do
No analytics, tracking pixels, or telemetry
No advertising and no ad networks
No selling, renting, or sharing of your data with anyone
No accounts or sign-in inside the extension; no collection of your email by the extension
No transmission of LinkedIn profile data, history, or browsing activity to us or third parties
5. Permissions, and why Fetch needs them
Access to linkedin.com — to read the profile you are viewing
activeTab / scripting — to extract the visible fields from the current profile
storage — to save your history and settings on your device
clipboardWrite — to copy the selected fields to your clipboard
webNavigation — to detect when you open a new LinkedIn profile so Auto-Collect can read it
tabs / alarms — supporting browser APIs used to run the features above
6. Your controls
Delete any single profile from your history, or clear your entire history, at any time
Turn Auto-Collect on or off at any time
Uninstalling Fetch removes all locally stored data from your browser
7. Children
Fetch is a professional productivity tool and is not directed to children under 16.
