Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-15
This is the privacy policy for the LeadLeap Lens Chrome extension specifically. For the policy that covers the rest of LeadLeap (the website, account holders, our lead database), see the main LeadLeap privacy policy.
What Lens does
LeadLeap Lens detects email addresses on the page you are viewing and lets you verify them by clicking an inline icon. We do not require an account. The extension is anonymous by design.
What we send to our servers when you click verify
- The email address you chose to verify.
- An anonymous activation key issued during one-time setup. The key is stored locally in your browser and is not linked to any personal information.
- The URL and title of the page the email was found on, so the verified contact has a citable source.
- Up to 5 KB of text near the email so we can guess the person's name and title. You can turn this off in the extension's Settings tab.
- The extension version.
We do not send your name, any cookies, or anything about pages you did not click verify on. Page URLs, titles, and surrounding text are transmitted only at the moment you click verify (or run bulk-verify on the current page from the popup), never in the background.
What we store
We store one record per verification containing the fields above plus our verification verdict, the IP address of the request, and the country derived from that IP. See the next section for what this data is used for.
What your verifications power
LeadLeap Lens is the in-page surface of LeadLeap, an email and business contact intelligence service. Lens is free, but it is not a standalone utility detached from a product. The verifications you run help keep LeadLeap accurate. Specifically, we use your verifications to:
- Verify the email and show you the verdict and reason in the result card.
- Where the surrounding text gives us a name and title, show you that guess in the same card.
- Enforce your daily 50-verification limit.
- Detect abuse of the free service.
- Improve LeadLeap's verification accuracy over time. This includes catch-all detection, MX-pattern observation, and domain-pattern learning.
- Contribute to LeadLeap's broader contact intelligence: verified addresses, observed patterns, and the inferred names and titles from the surrounding text become part of LeadLeap's service so other LeadLeap users get more accurate results when they look up the same domain or person later.
We do not sell raw verification logs to third parties. We do not show ads. We do not use your verifications to determine creditworthiness or for any advertising or lending purpose.
If you would rather not contribute the surrounding-text snippet, you can turn it off in the extension's Settings tab. Verification still works; we just receive the email plus the page URL and title.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not show ads.
- We do not track your browsing across sites.
- We do not associate verifications with a real-world identity.
- We do not detect or send other emails on the page that you did not click.
- We do not run third-party analytics from inside the extension.
Bulk verification
The extension popup includes a “Verify all on this page” button. When you click it, Lens scans the current page for emails and verifies them one at a time, spending your visible daily quota. This action is opt-in and user-initiated. Lens never sweeps a page without your click.
Activation gate
Activating Lens requires solving a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge and a one-time browser-side proof-of-work computation. This is to prevent abuse of the free service. We do not retain anything from this process beyond the issued key and the IP address that requested it.
Anonymous activation key
On install, you complete a short activation flow that issues a random, anonymous key. It is not tied to your email, name, or any account. It lives in your browser's local extension storage. We use it only to associate a verification request with the daily quota counter and to detect abuse patterns.
Daily quota
Each anonymous key gets 50 verifications per day, refreshing at UTC midnight. The remaining count is visible in the extension popup and on every result card.
Local storage on your device
The extension stores the following locally in your browser:
- Your anonymous activation key.
- Your settings (theme, icon visibility, skip lists, and similar).
- Your last quota count for offline display.
- A capped list of your most recent verifications (default: last 50).
This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly trigger a verify call.
Deleting your data
To remove all locally stored extension data, uninstall the extension. Chrome clears extension storage on uninstall.
To request that we purge any logged verifications associated with your activation key or IP address, email [email protected]. We will purge within 30 days.
