Privacy Policy - MapLeads Pro

🛡️ Executive Summary: 100% Client-Side Lead Scraping

MapLeads Pro is built around an uncompromising privacy principle: Your extracted B2B leads, client contacts, and prospecting searches NEVER leave your browser.

Unlike cloud SaaS scrapers that harvest and resell your searched data to competitors, MapLeads Pro operates exclusively inside your browser's local sandbox memory. We maintain zero external databases of your leads.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

Because MapLeads Pro operates 100% on the client side:

Zero Search Queries: We do not log what industries, cities, or businesses you search on Google Maps.
Zero Extracted Lead Data: Extracted phone numbers, email addresses, websites, and business records are stored solely in your local browser memory and downloaded directly to your computer.
Zero Account Tracking: We never inspect, access, or harvest your personal Google account credentials, bookmarks, or browsing history.
Zero Lead Reselling: We do not own a shared database. Your scraped prospects are private to you alone.

2. Browser Permissions & Technical Justification

The extension requests minimal permissions strictly necessary to parse public Google Maps elements:

Permission	Technical Purpose
`activeTab`	Allows the extension to interact with the active Google Maps tab when you click "Start Scraping" to extract visible business card DOM nodes.
`storage`	Used to persist your local user preferences (delay speed, export format preferences, search history, and daily free lead quota tracker) in `chrome.storage.local`.
`scripting`	Enables automated human-like scrolling within the Google Maps results panel to load subsequent search items.
`clipboardWrite`	Enables 1-click "Copy Table to Clipboard" so you can paste extracted leads directly into Excel, Notion, or Google Sheets.
`downloads`	Used to save the generated `.xlsx`, `.csv`, or `.json` lead spreadsheet directly to your device's Downloads folder.
`Host Permissions`	Restricted to `://www.google.com/maps/` for search extraction, and public websites only when you explicitly run the optional Deep Contact Email Finder.

3. Pro License Verification (Gumroad)

When you purchase MapLeads Pro, license activation is verified directly against Gumroad's secure licensing endpoint (https://api.gumroad.com).

Only the license key string you provide is sent to verify purchase validity. Zero prospecting data, browsing history, or lead records are ever transmitted.

4. Compliance & Web Standards

MapLeads Pro respects Google Maps public DOM structures and adheres strictly to the Microsoft Edge Add-ons Developer Agreement and Google Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies. All code is packaged with zero external remote scripts (Manifest V3 compliance).
