Privacy Policy — Quiet Block for LinkedIn

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Quiet Block for LinkedIn does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any user data. There is no server, no analytics, and no network request of any kind. Everything the extension does happens locally, in your browser.

What the extension stores

The extension stores exactly two things, using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.sync API:

• Your blocklist — the names and LinkedIn profile identifiers of the people whose posts you have chosen to hide.
• Your display preferences — whether hidden posts collapse to a placeholder bar or are removed entirely, and whether to hide comments from blocked people.

This data is stored by Chrome itself. If you are signed in to Chrome, Chrome may sync it across your own devices under your own Google account. The developer has no access to it, and it is never sent to the developer or to any third party. You can delete all of it at any time by removing people from the blocklist in the extension's popup, or by uninstalling the extension.

What the extension reads

To do its job, the extension reads the content of the LinkedIn feed page you are viewing — specifically, the author of each post and the attribution line stating that a person liked, commented on, or reposted something. This happens entirely within your browser, in order to decide whether to hide a post. Nothing that is read is stored, logged, or transmitted.

The extension runs only on https://www.linkedin.com/*. It does not run on any other website.

What the extension does not do

• It does not collect personally identifiable information.
• It does not collect health, financial, authentication, or location data.
• It does not track your browsing activity.
• It does not use analytics or telemetry.
• It does not execute remote code; all code ships inside the extension package.
• It does not notify LinkedIn, or the people you block, of anything. Blocking is local to your own browser and does not unfollow, mute, or otherwise contact anyone.

Permissions

• storage — to save your blocklist and preferences locally.
• contextMenus — to add a right-click option for blocking someone.
• host permission for linkedin.com — to read and hide posts on the LinkedIn feed.
