LinkedSpace — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 19, 2026

LinkedSpace is a parody browser extension that restyles the appearance of LinkedIn.com in your own browser. It is an experiment by Playbook.

The short version

LinkedSpace does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data. Everything it does happens locally, inside your own browser tab. We have no server, no analytics, no tracking pixel, and no account.

What the extension accesses

To restyle the page and power its visual gags, the content script reads content that is already on the LinkedIn page you are viewing — for example visible names, post text, and headings. This is used only to weave real page text into the on-page decorations (a scrolling marquee, a themed notification, etc.) in that same tab, in that same moment.

This data is:

  • never sent anywhere — it is not transmitted off your device;
  • never stored — it lives only in the page's memory and disappears when you navigate away or close the tab;
  • never associated with you — there is no identifier, account, or profile.

What the extension stores

The only thing saved is your preferences: whether the extension is on, and which theme you picked. These two values are stored with Chrome's storage.sync API so your choice follows your browser profile. They contain no personal information.

Network requests

The extension makes one kind of outbound request, and only when the "Bull Market" trading theme is active: a call to the public CoinGecko price API to display a live crypto ticker. This request contains no personal data — it asks CoinGecko for public market prices and nothing about you is included. If the request fails, the theme falls back to built-in placeholder text. No other theme makes any network request.

Permissions, and why they exist

Permission Why
storage Save your on/off toggle and selected theme.
host_permissions: api.coingecko.com Fetch public crypto prices for the Bull Market ticker only.
Content script on linkedin.com Apply the visual theme to the LinkedIn tab you're viewing.

The extension runs only on linkedin.com. It does not run on any other website.

Data sharing

None. We do not have your data, so there is nothing to share, sell, or hand over. LinkedSpace is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to LinkedIn or Microsoft. "LinkedIn" and other product names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used here only to describe what the extension restyles.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL and the "Last updated" date above will change.
