Privacy Policy

VC Radar Chrome Extension  ·  Last updated: June 2024

VC Radar ("the Extension") is an open-source Chrome extension that helps job seekers identify company funding information on LinkedIn and Boss直聘. This policy explains what data the Extension handles and how.

Data We Collect

The Extension does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on remote servers. Specifically:

• We do not collect your browsing history.
• We do not collect your LinkedIn or Boss直聘 profile information.
• We do not track which jobs or companies you view.
• We do not have a backend server — there is no database storing your activity.

Data Stored Locally

The following data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API and never leaves your device unless you explicitly send it:

• Anthropic API Key — used solely to call the Claude API on your behalf when you request AI company research. Sent directly from your browser to api.anthropic.com.
• Notion Integration Token & Database ID — used solely to write job application records to your own Notion database when you click the save button. Sent directly from your browser to api.notion.com.
• Saved company list — companies you choose to save via AI research are stored locally in Chrome storage for badge display on future visits.

Third-Party API Calls

When you use the Extension's features, your browser may communicate directly with:

• Anthropic API (api.anthropic.com) — when you trigger AI company research. The company name is sent as part of the prompt. No personal information is included.
• Notion API (api.notion.com) — when you save a job record. The data sent is: company name, job title, source platform, and date. These go to your own Notion workspace.

Both services are governed by their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing Anthropic's and Notion's privacy policies separately.

Permissions Justification

• storage — to save your API keys and company list locally.
• host_permissions: api.notion.com, api.anthropic.com — to make API calls on your behalf directly from the browser.
• Content scripts on linkedin.com and zhipin.com — to read company names from job listings and inject funding badges. No page content is recorded or transmitted.

Open Source

VC Radar is fully open source. You can audit exactly what the Extension does by reviewing the source code on GitHub.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
