Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 28, 2025

1. Overview

LeadHunter ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website at leadhunterusa.com and the LeadHunter Chrome Extension. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and a hashed password. We do not store plaintext passwords. Authentication is handled by Supabase.

Search Preferences

We store the keywords and cities you configure in the extension. These are used solely to filter relevant posts and deliver lead notifications to you.

Lead Data

The Chrome Extension monitors content that is publicly visible to you on Facebook Groups and Nextdoor while you are browsing those platforms. When a post matches your configured keywords, we store the post URL, the platform it was found on, the group name, and the matched keywords. We store this data on your behalf so you can review your leads in the LeadHunter dashboard.

We do not read, store, or transmit your private messages, login credentials for Facebook or Nextdoor, or any content that is not publicly visible to you.

Payment Information

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number or banking details. We only receive a subscription status and a Stripe customer ID.

3. Chrome Extension — Permissions Explained

The LeadHunter Chrome Extension requests the following permissions:

  • tabs — Required to detect when you are browsing Facebook Groups or Nextdoor, so the extension can activate the appropriate content scanner.
  • scripting — Required to run the lead-detection logic on Facebook Groups and Nextdoor pages you are already viewing.
  • storage — Used to save your keywords, cities, and authentication session locally in your browser.
  • alarms— Used to schedule periodic scans while you are browsing, so you don't have to manually trigger them.
  • notifications — Reserved for future browser-level notifications. Push notifications are currently sent via the mobile app.
  • Access to facebook.com and nextdoor.com — Required to read the content of pages you are already viewing on these platforms and detect posts that match your keywords.
  • Access to leadhunterusa.com — Used to automatically detect your login session when you sign in on our website, so you do not need to re-enter credentials inside the extension.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • To deliver lead notifications that match your configured keywords and cities
  • To manage your account and subscription
  • To improve the accuracy and reliability of the LeadHunter service
  • To send transactional emails (account confirmation, payment receipts)

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising purposes.

5. Data Sharing

We share data only with the following service providers, strictly to operate the service:

  • Supabase — Database and authentication
  • Stripe — Payment processing
  • Expo — Mobile push notifications
  • Vercel — Website hosting

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data and leads for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data is permanently deleted within 30 days. You can request deletion at any time by contacting us.

7. Security

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS). Passwords are hashed and never stored in plaintext. Access to our database is restricted to authenticated users via row-level security policies.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Export your data
  • Cancel your subscription at any time

9. Children's Privacy

LeadHunter is intended for business use by adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 18.

10. User Responsibility & Disclaimer

LeadHunter is a monitoring tool that surfaces content already publicly visible to you as a logged-in member of Facebook Groups and Nextdoor. You are solely responsible for how you use this information and for ensuring your use complies with the terms of service of any third-party platform (including Facebook and Nextdoor), as well as all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

By using LeadHunter, you acknowledge that:

  • You are responsible for your own account activity on Facebook, Nextdoor, and any other platform.
  • LeadHunter does not log in to any platform on your behalf — all monitoring occurs within your own active browser session.
  • LeadHunter is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in partnership with Facebook, Meta, Nextdoor, or any other third-party platform.
  • Canceling your subscription does not automatically delete your account. You must explicitly request account deletion.
  • LeadHunter is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service or the accuracy of leads detected.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or that are used in a manner that we determine, at our sole discretion, to be abusive or harmful.

11. Extension Updates

The LeadHunter Chrome Extension is distributed through the Chrome Web Store. Updates to the extension are delivered automatically by Google Chrome in the background — you do not need to take any action.

Significant updates that affect data collection or permissions will be communicated via email and reflected in an updated Privacy Policy with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the extension after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or by a notice on the website.
