Broken Link Finder™ Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2026

Broken Link Finder™ is a browser extension that checks links on the webpage you choose to scan. This policy explains what information the extension processes and when information is sent to a third party.

Information processed during a scan

When you click “Scan current page”, the extension reads HTTP and HTTPS link addresses and their visible or accessible anchor text from the current webpage. It uses this information to prepare the on-page report, identify duplicate destinations, and check link responses.

Scan results are processed by the extension. The extension does not send scan reports, page contents, or link lists to the developer. To check a destination, the extension makes an HTTP request to that destination. The destination website may receive the request and associated connection information, such as your IP address, in the ordinary course of serving the request. These checks do not include your browser cookies or authenticated credentials.

Feedback

If you choose to submit feedback, the extension sends the feedback message, any email address you choose to provide, the current page URL, and the extension version to Formspree, the form processing provider used to deliver the message to the developer. Your email address is optional. Do not include sensitive personal information in feedback.

Formspree processes the submission under its own privacy terms. The extension does not use feedback details for advertising.

Preferences and local storage

The extension uses Chrome storage to remember your selected light or dark theme and text size. These preferences remain in your browser. Temporary scan progress may also be stored in the browser's session storage while a scan is running.

Clipboard and sharing

When you choose a sharing option or copy the AI SEO prompt, the extension copies the relevant text to your clipboard. If you choose a social or email platform, the extension may open that platform in a new tab. That platform then handles information according to its own privacy policy. The extension does not automatically publish posts.

Analytics and advertising

Broken Link Finder™ does not include analytics, advertising trackers, or behavioural advertising.

Data sharing and sale

The developer does not sell scan data or use it for advertising. Scan data is not transmitted to the developer. Feedback is sent to Formspree only when you submit the feedback form.

Children

Broken Link Finder™ is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not designed to collect personal information from children.

Changes and contact

This policy may be updated if the extension's functionality or data practices change. For privacy questions, use the developer contact information shown on the Broken Link Finder™ Chrome Web Store listing.
