Privacy Policy
The LinkPreview Chrome extension collects no personal data. Everything it does happens in your browser.
Last updated October 30, 2026
What this policy covers
This policy covers the LinkPreview browser extension for Google Chrome (“the extension”), published by LinkPreview (linkpreview.app).
What the extension reads
When you click the LinkPreview icon, the extension reads the page in your current tab: its title, meta description, Open Graph tags, Twitter Card tags, canonical link and favicon links. It uses them to draw the link previews and checks in the popup.
It only reads the tab you clicked the icon on, at the moment you click it. It can’t see your other tabs, your browsing history or anything you type.
To check the size of a page’s preview image and to show its favicon, the popup loads those images straight from the website that hosts them, the same way your browser loads them when you visit the page.
What the extension does not do
The extension does not:
collect, store or transmit personal information, browsing history, page content or meta tags.
use analytics, tracking, cookies or advertising.
sell or share data with anyone.
run code loaded from a remote server.
Links to linkpreview.app
The popup has buttons that open linkpreview.app (“Full check” and “Refresh cache”). These links contain the address of the page you were checking, so the site can fill it in for you, plus standard UTM tags (utm_source=chrome-extension) that show the visit came from the extension. They only open when you click them.
The linkpreview.app website is hosted on Framer and uses Framer’s built-in site analytics. For how Framer handles that data, see Framer’s privacy statement.
Permissions
The extension asks Chrome for three permissions:
activeTab: temporary access to the current tab, only after you click the extension icon.
scripting: runs the bundled function that reads the page’s meta tags.
storage: remembers which platform preview you picked last. This one setting is saved locally in your browser and never sent anywhere.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new date.
