LeadHunter Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how LeadHunter ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, stores, and protects data when you use the LeadHunter Chrome Extension, web dashboard, API services, and associated applications.

By using our service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. LeadHunter provides lead generation tools (email scraping from publicly available web pages) and email campaign orchestration for growth teams and sales professionals.

We collect minimal information necessary to deliver and improve our services:

• ✓
  Account Information: Your email address, encrypted password hash, and registration timestamps when you sign up.
• ✓
  User-Generated Campaign Data: Email templates, custom variables, collection folders, and SMTP configuration settings provided by you for sending outreach campaigns.
• ✓
  Scraped Lead Data: Public email addresses, full names, social profile URLs, and metadata extracted via the extension during your active scraping sessions.
• ✓
  Technical & Log Data: IP address, browser type, API request logs, and error diagnostic logs to maintain system security and uptime.

The extension requests specific permissions for clear functional reasons:

We use the collected information for the following operational purposes:

• •
  To authenticate users and sync leads between the Chrome Extension and the Web Dashboard.
• •
  To execute user-scheduled email campaigns via user-provided SMTP parameters.
• •
  To perform real-time MX/SMTP syntax and deliverability checks on lead emails.
• •
  To monitor system performance, prevent abuse, and provide customer support.

Data Security: We employ industry-standard encryption (TLS/HTTPS in transit and AES-256 for sensitive secrets like SMTP passwords at rest). Database instances are hosted in secure cloud data centers with strict access controls.

No Third-Party Monetization: We do not sell, license, or monetize your scraped data or contact lists. We only disclose data if required by applicable legal processes or law enforcement requests.

As a LeadHunter user, you retain full ownership and control over your account data:

• ✓
  Data Export: You can export your leads, campaign analytics, and collections in CSV format at any time from the Dashboard.
• ✓
  Data Erasure: You can delete specific leads, collections, or request full account deletion by contacting support.
• ✓
  Extension Removal: Uninstalling the extension immediately stops all background data collection and removes locally stored session keys.

We use essential HTTP cookies and browser LocalStorage to maintain logged-in state across dashboard sessions and remember user preferences (such as dark mode settings and table filtering parameters). We do not use intrusive cross-site advertising tracking cookies.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological improvements or regulatory updates. We will notify active users of material changes via email or dashboard announcements.
