What the extension reads
Only after you choose Read profile, ScoutHR reads supported data from the visible LinkedIn profile: name, headline, location, about, directly visible public contact links, experience, education, skills, certifications, the profile URL or provider identity, and the active-tab context needed to prevent a stale save. It does not read LinkedIn messages, cookies, passwords, authentication data, hidden contact modals, unrelated pages, or whole-page text.
Where the data goes
The structured draft remains in ephemeral trusted extension storage while you review it. Nothing is sent to ScoutHR until you choose Save person. Saving transmits only the reviewed structured fields over HTTPS to your selected Scout workspace.
How ScoutHR uses it
Saved data supports ScoutHR's single recruiting-workflow purpose: maintaining a recruiter-controlled person record, its source evidence, and any separate job, pool, tag, note, owner, or follow-up action you explicitly choose. ScoutHR does not sell extension data, use it for personalized advertising, or transfer it to advertising platforms or data brokers.
Retention and rights
Unsaved drafts clear at tested discard, navigation, workspace-change, session, update, and uninstall boundaries. Saved LinkedIn-sourced people receive the same workspace access, retention, export, correction, anonymization, deletion, legal-hold, and consent-withdrawal treatment as candidates from applications, imports, or manual entry. A source refresh does not silently extend the candidate's retention-purpose clock.
Security and human access
ScoutHR uses minimum Chrome permissions, exact extension-ID CORS, extension-scoped opaque sessions, strict structured schemas, bundled code, and redacted diagnostics. Authorized customer workspace users can read saved recruiting records. ScoutHR personnel access is limited to user-authorized support and the narrow security or legal cases allowed by policy and law.
Limited Use
ScoutHR's use of information received through the extension adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
