WebLens Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 23, 2026

This policy describes how the WebLens browser extension (“Extension”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use it. It is written for the Chrome Web Store and for transparency to users.

1. Summary

• WebLens is a website intelligence and technology-detection tool. It works on the page you are viewing when you use it.
• We do not sell your data. We do not use the Extension to run advertising profiles or to track you across unrelated websites in the background.
• Some features send the hostname (domain) of the current site, related technical signals, and (when you use those features) license or quota data to our servers and to third-party APIs so the Extension can work.
• The Extension may store license information, optional activation keys, and cached intelligence results on your device using Chrome’s storage API.

If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Extension.

2. What the Extension does (high level)

• Analyzes the open webpage in your browser to detect technologies (e.g. frameworks, scripts) and similar signals, primarily locally.
• Lets you look up public domain- and company-related information, such as DNS records, registration (RDAP), archive availability, traffic estimates, contact details found on the public web, and AI-generated summaries based on the domain and on-page signals you already allowed the Extension to read.

The Extension is not designed to read your emails, your passwords, or the full contents of all pages in the background. Network requests for lookups are made when you use the relevant features (and where caching applies, a prior result may be reused on your device).

3. Information the Extension may process

3.1 Information from the current website (client-side)

When you use WebLens on a page, the Extension may read only what is needed for its features, for example:

• Page URL, hostname, and on-page content signals used for technology detection and company/SEO-style insights (e.g. scripts, certain HTML patterns, and similar metadata the page already exposes to JavaScript in your browser).
• For environment detection, the names of cookies for the current site may be read (as permitted by the browser) to help infer services in use. We do not use the Extension to collect cookie values to sell or to track you for advertising.
• The favicon or similar assets may be read where needed for display.

We do not claim that this is a complete list; it reflects the product’s current design. You choose when to open or use the Extension on a page.

3.2 Information stored on your device (chrome.storage.local)

The Extension may store, on your local device only (unless you explicitly export or copy data elsewhere), items such as:

• License or activation data you enter, including subscription status and a per-installation instance identifier used to prevent abuse and to enforce quotas.
• Free / paid usage counters and monthly usage limits for specific features.
• Cached responses for certain lookups (e.g. company “enrich” reports, contact results, or traffic data) to reduce repeat network calls. You can clear Extension data using your browser’s extension settings.

3.3 Information sent to our backend (license and optional proxy)

If you use paid or trial network features that are routed through our service, the Extension may connect to our license / proxy APIs (for example at https://license.iglead.app) to:

• Activate or validate a license with your license key and instance id.
• Proxy requests to our upstream providers (e.g. AI and contact-lookup services) so we can apply limits and protect API keys. Request bodies may include the target domain and model parameters needed to run those features, consistent with the Extension’s purpose.

We do not ask you to create a WebLens account in the Extension for normal use; the above identifiers are for licensing and service operation.

3.4 Information sent to third-party APIs (over HTTPS)

The Extension (or our proxy, where applicable) may contact third parties to retrieve public or aggregated data. Typically these requests include the domain name you are looking up, and may include the server IP derived from public DNS, for example:

Important: those providers have their own privacy policies. They may log requests (e.g. IP address, timestamp) as part of normal operation of their APIs.

3.5 Optional developer / custom configuration

A custom build of the Extension might send AI or contact API requests directly to other endpoints (e.g. OpenAI, Deepseek) with keys you configure. That situation is not the default for end users; if you distribute such a build, describe it in your user-facing materials.

3.6 What we do not do

• We do not use the Extension to collect a list of all websites you visit for marketing or to sell as “browsing history.”
• We do not intentionally collect special categories of data (e.g. health, precise location beyond what public IP geolocation returns for a looked-up server IP).

4. Legal bases (where applicable)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK, or similar regions, we rely on performance of a service you request (providing the Extension) and, where required, your consent (e.g. for optional features or for communications you opt into, if we add them later). [Adjust if your counsel advises a different basis.]

5. Retention and security

• On-device data is kept until you remove the Extension, clear site/extension data, or we overwrite caches according to the Extension’s logic.
• On our servers (license/proxy), we retain information only as long as needed to provide the service, prevent fraud, and meet legal obligations. [Adjust retention details if your backend policy differs.]
• We use HTTPS for network calls where the remote API supports it. No security practice is perfect; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your choices

• You may uninstall the Extension at any time and clear stored data in browser settings.
• For privacy requests about data held by us as the publisher (access, correction, deletion where applicable), contact us at the email above. We may need to verify your request.

If a third party processes data under their own terms (e.g. an AI provider), you may also exercise rights with them under their policy.

7. Children

The Extension is not directed to children under 16 (or the age your jurisdiction uses). We do not knowingly ask children for personal data.

8. International transfers

We or our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards. [Add Standard Contractual Clauses or other mechanisms if you document them.]

9. Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change. For material changes, we may also provide a notice in the Extension description or in-product where practical.
