Spectra
Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 15, 2026
Spectra is a Chrome extension that turns public LinkedIn profiles into structured intelligence and outreach drafts. It is built to be local-first: the analysis happens in your browser, and we do not run analytics or track you. This page explains exactly what is processed and where.
In short: profile scoring runs entirely on your device. The only data that
leaves your browser is the text we send to an AI model to write insights/outreach (only if
you enable that), and the name + company you submit to look up an email. We store nothing on
our servers except an anonymous per-account counter for free email lookups. No analytics, no
ads, no selling of data.
What stays on your device
- Profile extraction & scoring. When you click Analyze, the extension reads the text already visible on the LinkedIn profile page and computes the signal scores locally. This raw scoring never leaves your browser.
- Your data. Analyses, settings, and any résumé you upload are stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB. You can clear all of it any time from the extension's Settings ("Delete all data").
What is sent off your device — and to whom
- AI-written insight & outreach (optional). If AI generation is enabled, the extension sends a prompt containing the extracted profile facts (and, for résumé-aware outreach, your résumé text) to generate the summary and drafts. You choose the backend:
- Hosted (default): the prompt goes to our proxy at
internet-detective-proxy.vercel.app, which forwards it to Groq (Llama 3.3 70B). We do not store these prompts or responses. - Local Ollama: the prompt is sent only to a model running on your own machine and never leaves it.
- Hosted (default): the prompt goes to our proxy at
- Email finder (optional). To find a work email, the extension sends the target's first name, last name, and company domain — either directly to Hunter.io using your own API key, or through our proxy (which uses a shared key and enforces a free per-account limit). We do not store the looked-up emails.
- Google sign-in. Outreach generation and free email lookups require signing in with Google. We receive your Google account ID and email to authenticate you and to count your free lookups. Sign-in is handled by Chrome's secure identity system; we never see your password.
What we store on our servers
- An anonymous counter keyed to your Google account ID, used only to enforce the free email-lookup limit. No profile data, prompts, résumés, or generated content are stored on our servers.
Third-party services
When you use the relevant features, data is processed by these providers under their own privacy policies:
- Groq — groq.com/privacy-policy (AI generation, hosted mode)
- Hunter.io — hunter.io/privacy (email lookup)
- Google — policies.google.com/privacy (sign-in)
What we do NOT do
- No analytics or usage tracking.
- No advertising.
- No selling or sharing of your data with third parties for their own purposes.
- No storing of profiles, prompts, résumés, generated text, or found emails on our servers.
Your control
- Delete all local data any time via the extension's Settings.
- Sign out to revoke the extension's Google access.
- Use Local Ollama mode to keep AI generation entirely on your machine.
