Privacy Policy — LinkedIn Bullshit Detector

Last updated: 2026-03-24

Overview

LinkedIn Bullshit Detector analyzes visible LinkedIn profile content to generate a score and breakdown.
The extension sends extracted profile text to a backend API, which forwards the request to OpenAI to generate analysis results.

Data we process

The extension may process the following categories of data from LinkedIn pages:

• Website content (profile text, including headline, about, experience, education, skills, and visible posts)
• Browsing activity limited to supported LinkedIn profile URLs used by the extension

The extension does not require account creation.

How data is used

Data is used only to:

• Generate the analysis result requested by the user
• Enforce daily analysis limits (10/day by default, up to 50/day with admin password flow)
• Return the result in the popup UI

Data sharing

To produce analysis output, profile text is transmitted to:

• The extension backend API (self-hosted or Vercel deployment)
• OpenAI API (as the language model provider)

No data is sold.

Data retention

• The extension itself does not persist a full history of analyzed profiles.
• Daily usage counters are tracked server-side for quota control.
• Temporary processing and network logs may exist on infrastructure providers (hosting, CDN, API providers) according to their own retention policies.

Security

• The OpenAI API key is stored server-side and is not embedded in the extension package.
• Client requests are validated by the backend before forwarding.

Your choices

• You can stop data processing at any time by uninstalling the extension.
• You can avoid sending profile data by not running analysis.
