Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ShareCo Inc. ("ShareCo," "we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website (shareco.ca) and our Chrome browser extension, ShareCo SalesSync (the "Extension").

By using our website or Extension, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our services.

2. ShareCo SalesSync Chrome Extension

Our Chrome Extension helps you save LinkedIn profile information to your Salesforce CRM. This section describes the specific data practices of the Extension.

2.1 Data We Collect Through the Extension

When you use the Extension, we collect the following types of information:

• •LinkedIn Profile Data: When you click to save a profile, we read publicly visible information from the LinkedIn page you are viewing, including: first name, last name, job title/headline, current company name, and the LinkedIn profile URL. This data is used solely to pre-fill your Salesforce contact form.
• •Salesforce Session Cookies: To authenticate API requests to your Salesforce instance, the Extension reads your Salesforce session cookie ("sid"). This cookie is used only to communicate with your Salesforce account and is never transmitted to ShareCo servers.
• •Salesforce Domain: We store the Salesforce domain you configure (e.g., "yourcompany.my.salesforce.com") locally in Chrome storage to enable the Extension functionality.
• •Account Information: When you sign in to the Extension, we collect your email address and basic account information to manage your subscription and authenticate your access.
• •Sync History: We store records of contacts you've saved, including the LinkedIn profile URL, contact name, job title, company name, and Salesforce record IDs. This enables duplicate detection and provides you with a history of your saved contacts.
• •Usage Analytics: We collect anonymized usage data such as feature usage counts and error occurrences to improve the Extension. This does not include any LinkedIn profile content or personal information.

2.2 How We Use Extension Data

• •To Provide the Service: LinkedIn profile data is used to pre-fill Salesforce contact forms. This data flows directly from LinkedIn to Salesforce through your browser and is not stored on our servers beyond what is needed for sync history.
• •To Prevent Duplicates: We check LinkedIn URLs against your sync history to alert you if a contact has already been saved.
• •To Manage Your Subscription: We track usage against your subscription limits (free trial or paid plan).
• •To Improve Our Services: Anonymized usage analytics help us identify bugs and improve features.

2.3 Data We Do NOT Collect

• •We do NOT collect or store your Salesforce password or login credentials.
• •We do NOT transmit Salesforce session cookies to our servers.
• •We do NOT access LinkedIn profiles unless you explicitly click to save them.
• •We do NOT scrape LinkedIn data in the background or without your action.
• •We do NOT sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
