Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 12, 2025

Welcome to Zeld. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and the Zeld LinkedIn Extension.

Note: The sections under "Information We Collect" and "How We Use Your Information" describe data handling only by the Zeld LinkedIn Extension, not by our public website.

1. Information We Collect

This section applies exclusively to the Zeld LinkedIn Extension.

LinkedIn Session Cookies

Only the minimal session cookies (e.g. li_at) needed to verify your LinkedIn login and authorize outreach actions.

Basic Profile Details

Your LinkedIn display name, current position, and avatar—used solely to confirm authentication and show status in the extension.

Local Storage

A small authentication-state flag and user settings, stored in your browser so you don't need to re-authenticate on every tab or restart.

No data is collected or stored by our website itself.

2. How We Use Your Information

Recruiting & Outreach Automation

With your explicit permission, Zeld uses your LinkedIn session cookies to automate recruiting actions—such as sending connection requests and messages to leads—on your behalf.

Extension Functionality

We use basic profile details to confirm you're properly authenticated and to display your connection status within the extension's one-screen interface.

User Experience

Local storage ensures you remain logged in across tabs and browser restarts, eliminating the need to re-authenticate on every page load.

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

No Sale or Rental

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing or unrelated purposes.

Permitted Service Providers

We may share the minimal cookies and profile data with Zeld's secure servers solely to perform the recruiting actions you've requested. All data transmissions are encrypted in transit.

Authorized Accounts Only

The extension is intended for use only by Zeld team members or by individuals who have explicitly granted us permission to use their LinkedIn account for outreach. If you do not grant permission or revoke it, the extension cannot function and you should uninstall it.

4. Data Retention

Session Cookies

We do not store your LinkedIn cookies on our servers beyond the duration of each task. Cookies are used in real-time to authenticate actions and then discarded.

Local Storage

Authentication state and settings remain in your browser until you clear your extension data or uninstall the extension.

5. Security Measures

Encryption

All data sent between your browser and Zeld servers is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS.

Minimal Access

We limit access to your cookies and profile data to only those systems required to perform the recruiting tasks you initiate.

Internal Controls

Our team follows strict access controls, and no full LinkedIn profile data is ever stored or logged on our servers beyond the basic information described above.

6. Your Choices & Control

Permission Revocation

You can revoke the extension's access to LinkedIn by removing its host permission (https://*.linkedin.com/*) or by uninstalling the extension at any time.

Data Removal

To clear all local data, go to your browser's Extensions settings and choose "Remove data" or simply uninstall the Zeld LinkedIn Extension.

Support & Inquiries

If you have questions about this policy or would like to request the deletion of any data we may hold, please contact us at privacy@zeld.pro.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, if the changes are material, notify you via email or a prominent notice on our website.

Thank you for trusting Zeld with your LinkedIn outreach. We are dedicated to keeping your data confidential, secure, and used only for the purposes you've authorized.
