# Privacy Policy — Lighting Warehouse SEO & Backlinks (Chrome Extension)
**Last updated:** July 9, 2026
## What this extension does
This extension helps audit the on-page SEO of web pages and lets the user keep a personal, local list of backlink outreach opportunities for lightingwarehouse.co.za.
## Data we collect
– **Website content:** When you open the extension on a page, it reads that page’s HTML (title, meta tags, headings, image alt attributes, and link counts) to generate the SEO audit shown in the popup. This happens only when you actively open the extension, and only for the page you are currently viewing.
– **User-entered notes:** Any backlink opportunities you add (site name, URL, status, notes) are entered by you and stored only in your own browser.
## What we do NOT do
– We do not transmit any data to an external server. There is no backend for this extension.
– We do not collect personally identifiable information, location, authentication credentials, payment information, health information, or your general web browsing history.
– We do not sell or share data with third parties.
– We do not use collected data for advertising, creditworthiness, or lending purposes.
## Where data is stored
All backlink-tracker data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome’s `storage` API (`chrome.storage.local`). It stays on your device and browser profile. Uninstalling the extension or clearing its storage permanently deletes this data.
## Your choices
– Delete any backlink entry at any time from within the extension.
– Uninstall the extension at any time to remove all locally stored data.
