Your messages stay in your browser.

ConnectEz runs inside your own logged-in Chrome session on linkedin.com. It never asks for, reads or sends your LinkedIn password or session cookies. These are stored only in your browser (Chrome extension storage) and are never uploaded to our server:

• Your Inbox AI chat, reply drafts and connection notes.
• Your learned writing style (examples of messages you sent, edited or chose).
• LinkedIn messages that Inbox AI reads when you scan or ask; they are deleted from your browser after 24 hours.
• A short-lived cache of AI answers, so repeated requests are faster.
• Your settings, and your own AI API key if you add one.

Removing the extension deletes all of this from your browser.

To write or improve a note or reply, ConnectEz sends only the text needed for that one request (for example the person's name and headline, the message you are replying to, and what you typed) to the AI you choose:

• ConnectEz cloud AI (default): the request goes through our server to an AI provider: Pollinations, Groq or NVIDIA. We do not keep the text of your requests; we record only that a request was made, to count your plan's AI actions.
• Your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or another provider you choose): the request goes directly from your browser to that provider, under their privacy policy. Your key never reaches our server.
• Built-in local AI: runs on your computer. With “Use only the built-in local AI” turned on, nothing leaves your computer.

Inbox AI reads your LinkedIn messages only after you allow it in the extension, and only when you scan or ask.

If you click Start on Auto Connect, ConnectEz opens the LinkedIn people search you chose and sends connection invitations from your account, with a personal note written as described above. It keeps a count of invitations sent in the last 7 days in your browser to enforce the daily and weekly limits. This count is not sent to our server.

• Email address: to sign you in with a 6-digit code and send account emails.
• A device identifier (stored only in hashed form): to limit a plan to 2 computers and to allow one free trial per account.
• Plan and usage: trial or Pro status, dates, and how many cloud AI actions you used.
• Free-trial check: when you start the free trial, so that each person gets one trial, the extension sends one-way hashes of your LinkedIn account id, of this device (browser and hardware traits) and of a random install id, and we note your network (IP address). We store only hashed values, never the LinkedIn id, the device details or your IP address themselves, and use them only to prevent repeat trials.
• Sign-in records: short-lived sign-in codes and session tokens, so you stay signed in securely.

This data is stored with our database provider, Supabase, and our website runs on Vercel. Sign-in emails are sent through our email provider.

Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, our merchant of record. You enter your card or UPI details on Dodo's checkout, not in ConnectEz. We receive your email, customer and subscription IDs and payment status, to turn Pro on or off. We never see or store your full card number.

• We never sell, rent or share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
• We do not use advertising or third-party tracking in the extension.
• We do not build a database of your LinkedIn contacts or conversations.
• We do not use your data to train AI models.

We keep your account data while you have an account, and billing records as long as the law requires. To delete your account, or to ask what we hold about you, email us from the address you signed in with. We reply within 7 days. Signing out in the extension removes your session from that computer.

If we change this policy, we update the date at the top. ConnectEz is not affiliated with LinkedIn. Questions:
