Privacy Policy
tell reads between the lines of a LinkedIn job posting to show you what's really behind the role and the company. This policy explains exactly what data the extension touches, where it goes, and what it does not do.
- Your Anthropic API key is stored only in your own browser. It's never sent anywhere except directly to Anthropic, and never to us.
- When you run a decode, the job posting's text is sent directly from your browser to Anthropic's API to be analyzed.
- There is no tell server. We have no backend, collect no analytics, and never receive your key, your posting text, or your results.
What the extension stores
The extension stores one thing: the Anthropic API key you paste into its settings. It's kept in chrome.storage.local, which lives on your device, in your browser profile. It does not sync, leave your machine, or reach us. You can remove it any time from the settings page, and uninstalling the extension deletes it.
What gets sent, and to whom
When you click to decode a posting, the extension reads the visible text of that LinkedIn job posting and sends it, along with your API key, directly to the Anthropic API (api.anthropic.com) from your browser. Anthropic processes it to generate the decode and may run web searches about the named company as part of that analysis.
That request goes to Anthropic and only to Anthropic. It does not pass through any server operated by tell, because none exists. Anthropic's handling of that data is governed by Anthropic's own privacy policy and terms, which apply because you're using your own Anthropic account and key.
What the extension does NOT do
- It does not send your API key, posting text, or results to the developer or any third party other than Anthropic.
- It does not track your browsing, build a profile, or run analytics.
- It does not store your decodes anywhere off your device. (If you use "Save," the file is written to your own computer by you.)
- It does not run on any site other than LinkedIn job pages.
Permissions, and why
storage— to save your API key locally so you don't re-enter it.- Host access to
www.linkedin.com— to read the posting text on the job page you're viewing and show the panel. - Host access to
api.anthropic.com— to send the decode request directly to Anthropic with your key.
Changes
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change with it, and the current version will always be the one published at the URL listed in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing.
