12. Browser Extension

The HighAdvocacy browser extension is covered by this policy, with the following specifics.

What it reads. When you invoke the extension, it reads the customer review on that page: reviewer name, review text, rating, date, job title, company name, the reviewer's photo URL, and the reviewer's email where the page already displays one. It also reads the page URL, for provenance and to detect the same review being imported twice.

When it reads. Only after a deliberate action by you: clicking the extension's toolbar icon, choosing "Import to HighAdvocacy" from the right-click menu, pressing its keyboard shortcut, or pressing a button in its own panel. Between those actions it reads nothing. There is no background scanning.

What it does not collect. The extension collects no analytics, no usage tracking, and no browsing history. It does not request permission to see your tabs, so it cannot tell which sites you visit. The analytics, marketing cookie and device-identifier practices described in Section 2 apply to our website and web application, not to the extension.

Authentication. The extension reads your existing HighAdvocacy session token from app.highadvocacy.com and uses it only to authenticate requests to the HighAdvocacy API. It is stored in your browser's extension session storage and cleared when your browser session ends.

Where the data goes. To your own HighAdvocacy workspace over HTTPS, and nowhere else. Nothing captured by the extension is sold, shared with third parties, used for advertising, or used to train models.

Retention. Captured proof remains in your workspace until you delete it there. Uninstalling the extension removes everything it stores locally.

Limits. The extension reads only content already visible to you. It does not bypass login walls, paywalls or CAPTCHAs, and it never posts, comments, replies or votes on any platform.
