Privacy Policy for Precept
Effective Date: 1st Jan 2025
Introduction
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension, Precept (the “Extension”), collects, uses, and shares your data when you use it, specifically during your interactions with LinkedIn. By installing or using the Extension, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
The Extension accesses LinkedIn session cookies and authentication tokens when you use it on LinkedIn. These session cookies are used to verify your active session and enable the Extension to perform authorized networking and outreach actions on your behalf.
In addition, the Extension processes profile information (such as names, job titles, and profile URLs), message texts, and post interactions strictly as required to deliver your requested lead discovery and communication workflows.
How We Use Your Information
The session cookies and related LinkedIn data are used exclusively to support user-directed features within the Extension, including:
- Connection Insights: Analyzing profile information, relationship degrees, and mutual connections to generate relevant lead insights.
- Connection Invitations: Sending connection requests with optional personalized notes to prospective leads on your behalf when you initiate or schedule an outreach campaign.
- Direct Messaging: Sending user-initiated or automated direct messages to your 1st-degree LinkedIn connections according to your campaign settings.
- Inbox Synchronization & Reply Detection: Inspecting conversation threads to detect when recipients reply, allowing the Extension to pause follow-ups and prevent duplicate outreach.
- Post Engagement & Lead Discovery: Identifying commenters and reactors on selected public posts to help you generate lead lists upon your request.
All automated actions are executed based on your direct instructions and configuration. We do not use your session cookies for any unrelated purposes.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Data Retention and Deletion
