OG Image Inspector — Privacy Policy

This policy covers the OG Image Inspector browser extension ("the extension") published by Linkshot ("we", "our", or "us"). The extension lets you click its toolbar icon on any web page and see that page's Open Graph image, title, description, and social-card previews for Facebook, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn.

This policy applies only to the extension. The Linkshot web service is covered by our main Privacy Policy.

When you click the toolbar icon on a tab, the extension reads the following from that tab only:

• Open Graph <meta> tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:type, og:site_name, og:image:width, og:image:height, og:image:alt).
• Twitter Card <meta> tags (twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image, twitter:site, twitter:creator).
• The page's <title>, canonical URL, meta description, theme-color, and favicon link.

The extension does not read form inputs, page body content, cookies, localStorage, keystrokes, browsing history, or anything outside the meta tags listed above.

None. The extension makes no network requests of its own. It does not contact Linkshot servers, analytics providers, error trackers, or any third party. Everything the extension reads is displayed locally inside the popup and discarded when you close it.

The only outbound link in the extension is a clearly-labelled call-to-action button that opens uselinkshot.com in a new tab when you click it. That click is your action, not the extension's.

None. The extension does not use chrome.storage, localStorage, IndexedDB, cookies, or any other persistence mechanism. Every time you open the popup it re-reads the current tab from scratch.

The extension requests two Chrome permissions:

• activeTab — temporary access to the tab you are currently viewing, granted by Chrome only at the moment you click the toolbar icon and revoked when you close the popup or switch tabs. The extension can never access any tab you have not explicitly clicked on.
• scripting — required to run the meta-tag-reading function inside the active tab's page context via chrome.scripting.executeScript. The function only reads from document.head and discrete document.querySelector calls; it never modifies the page.

The extension deliberately does not request host_permissions for any URL. It has no standing access to any site.

The extension contains no remote code. All JavaScript and CSS shipped in the extension package is the code that runs. Nothing is fetched, evaluated, or downloaded at runtime.

The extension is not directed at children under 13. Because the extension collects no data of any kind, it cannot knowingly collect data from children.

We may update this policy if the extension's behaviour changes. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated effective date.
