Privacy Policy — LinkedIn Games Solver

Last updated: 2026-06-01

LinkedIn Games Solver provides puzzle-solving helpers for LinkedIn Games pages. This privacy policy explains what data the extension accesses, why, and how that data is used.

Single purpose

The extension's single purpose is to read the game state and clues from LinkedIn Games pages (pages matching https://*.linkedin.com/games/*) and provide puzzle-solving assistance to the user (display solutions, suggest moves, or auto-fill inputs when explicitly requested).

What data is accessed and why

• Website content: game board state and clue text from https://*.linkedin.com/games/*. Purpose: to compute or request a solution and present it to the user. This data is only read when you are on a supported LinkedIn Games page and request the extension's functionality.
• Screen capture (Optional): local Base64 screenshots of your current active tab. Purpose: only captured when you request a visual solver (e.g. for Pinpoint). The screenshot is immediately cropped and compressed on-device using a secure, local Offscreen Document to extract only the active game board, ensuring any surrounding desktop, open browser tabs, or unrelated page text is completely discarded before sending to AI.
• Settings and preferences: language, UI preferences, solve statistics (streaks, personal bests, daily solved counts), chosen AI provider/model, and optional API key or custom AI endpoint. Purpose: to persist user configuration so the extension works across browser sessions.

Network requests and AI assistance

• AI Assistance: The extension does not transmit any data off-device unless you explicitly enable AI assistance and provide an API key or custom endpoint. If AI assistance is enabled, the extension will send only the necessary game content and a generated prompt to the AI provider you configured (for example, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic, or a custom endpoint) to obtain a suggested solution. If visual screenshot-based solving is triggered, the raw captured screen is cropped and scaled entirely on your local device to isolate only the game board's exact dimensions. This ensures that surrounding private contexts (such as other open browser tabs, OS taskbars, system clocks, personal emails, or unrelated text) are strictly stripped and discarded locally before any prompt is transmitted to the AI. API keys you enter are stored locally in your browser storage and are used only to authenticate requests to the provider you chose.
• Daily Pre-solved Answers Registry: To optimize solving speeds, completely eliminate AI token costs, and avoid LLM hallucinations, the extension securely fetches pre-solved daily game answers for Pinpoint and Crossclimb from our public registry hosted on GitHub (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/*). This request is strictly a secure download of public answers; no user-identifying data, browser metadata, or game session logs are ever transmitted.

Permissions used

• storage: used to store preferences, themes, solving history, streaks, and optional API keys. Non-sensitive settings and solve statistics are synchronized across your logged-in browser profiles using chrome.storage.sync to ensure a seamless cross-device dashboard. Sensitive values like AI credentials remain strictly confined to chrome.storage.local on your local device.
• scripting: required by the extension framework to register and inject the Main World diagnostics logger script (logger-main.ts). This is used solely to capture game console events and display solving logs/diagnostics, aligning directly with our single purpose of providing interactive solving assistance.
• session: used as high-performance, RAM-only ephemeral storage (chrome.storage.session) to cache active debugger logs and solving trace logs. This data lives purely in memory, produces zero disk wear, and is automatically wiped clean when your browser session ends.
• activeTab: used only when you interact with the extension (popup/dashboard) to detect and message the active LinkedIn Games tab.
• sidePanel: used to display a responsive, persistent panel next to the LinkedIn page for a fluid workspace without blocking active game interactions.
• offscreen: used to spin up a secure, headless HTML5 Canvas instance on your local device to crop and compress puzzle screenshots. This process runs entirely on-device in a sandboxed, hidden context, consumes minimal system memory, and is immediately destroyed after processing.
• alarms: used to register background alarms in the service worker to perform daily scheduled checks for unsolved games and protect your active streak.
• notifications: used to display native system-level desktop notifications (Streak Protector) if today's games remain unsolved by your chosen alarm time.
• contextMenus: used to add right-click context menu options (⚡ Solve Active LinkedIn Game, 💡 Get a Hint, and 📊 View Results) to LinkedIn game pages for quick solver accessibility.
• Host Permission https://raw.githubusercontent.com/*: used by the background service worker to fetch pre-solved puzzle solutions securely and directly from our public GitHub answers registry.
• Optional Host Permission https://*.linkedin.com/games/*: we request site permissions on-demand. Access to LinkedIn Game pages is only requested when you first click a solver button or try to run the helper. This ensures you can install the extension with zero initial site-read access, placing privacy and user control first.

Data retention and sharing

• Settings, solved statistics, and optional API keys remain stored locally in your browser storage (local and sync spaces) until you remove them or uninstall the extension.
• Game content and prompts are sent only to the AI provider you configured and only when you request AI assistance. We do not sell or transfer user data for advertising or unrelated purposes.

Anonymous Telemetry & Analytics

To help improve the extension, identify bugs, and analyze solver performance on dynamic LinkedIn layouts, we collect anonymous usage telemetry. This analytics system runs via the Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Measurement Protocol and is designed with strict privacy-first principles:

• What is Collected:
• Anonymous usage actions (e.g., loading home, settings, or debug tabs).
• Solver metrics (e.g., clicks on "Solve" or "Hint", and the elapsed time taken to solve a board).
• General system info (e.g., operating system name and extension version).
• Integration events (e.g., public registry fetch attempts, API request token sizes, and issues template submissions).
• What is NEVER Collected:
• No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of any kind (e.g. name, email, credentials).
• No LinkedIn account profiles, session cookies, password tokens, or user profiles.
• No custom AI API keys or custom endpoint URLs.
• No web activity, search history, or pages visited outside of active LinkedIn daily games boards.
• Anonymous Identifiers: Telemetry events use a randomly generated UUID client ID stored in your local synchronized extension settings. It is completely decoupled from your personal IP address, name, or hardware identifiers.
• 100% Opt-Out Control: You can disable telemetry at any time by turning off the "Send Anonymous Telemetry" switch in the Settings panel. If turned off, all telemetry requests are instantly bypassed locally and no network traffic is sent to Google Analytics.
