Privacy Policy

Your data stays yours.

Last updated: July 20, 2026

Who this covers

This policy applies to the SponsorScan Chrome extension ("the extension," "we," "us") and this website. By installing or using the extension, you agree to the practices described here.

What the extension accesses

SponsorScan runs only on linkedin.com and indeed.com. To do its job, it reads the content of the job and company pages you open on those two sites — such as the company name and the job description text — directly in your browser. This reading happens locally, on your device, to display the sponsorship strip and to highlight skills and red flags in the description.

What is sent off your device

To show a company's H‑1B and E‑Verify information, the extension requests the matching data file from our hosting provider (a content delivery network). This means:

• The company you're viewing or searching is included in that request (as the name of the data file being fetched). Our hosting/CDN provider may record standard access logs — your IP address, the file requested, and a timestamp — as part of normal internet operation.
• We do not attach any account, name, email, or personal identifier to these requests, because the extension has none.
• The skill and red‑flag highlighting is done entirely on your device. The job description text is never sent to us or anyone else.

We use these requests only to return the requested sponsorship data. We do not build user profiles, and we do not combine access logs with any other information to identify you.

What is stored, and where

• Your settings (which highlights are on, and any skills you add) are saved using Chrome's storage.sync. That data lives in your browser and, if you use Chrome Sync, is synced through your Google account across your own devices. We never receive or store it.
• The extension keeps no other records. There is no SponsorScan account and no user database.

What we don't do

• No sign‑up, login, or personal information required.
• No advertising, no analytics or tracking pixels, no third‑party trackers.
• No selling, renting, or sharing of any data.
• No access to pages outside LinkedIn and Indeed, and no reading of your general browsing history.

Permissions we request, and why

linkedin.com

To display the strip and highlight job descriptions on LinkedIn pages.

indeed.com

To display the strip and highlight job descriptions on Indeed pages.

our data host

storage

webNavigation

To detect when you move to a new job or company page inside LinkedIn or Indeed.

These permissions are used only for the purposes above, consistent with the Chrome Web Store's Limited Use requirements.

The sponsorship data itself

The H‑1B, wage, and E‑Verify information shown by the extension comes from public U.S. government sources — the USCIS H‑1B Employer Data Hub, the Department of Labor's OFLC LCA disclosure data, and the E‑Verify employer list. SponsorScan is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by USCIS, the Department of Labor, E‑Verify, LinkedIn, or Indeed. The data reflects historical filings, may be incomplete, and should not be treated as legal or immigration advice.

Children

SponsorScan is intended for job seekers and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the extension handles data, we'll update this page and revise the "last updated" date above. Material changes may also be noted in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing.
