Privacy Policy

Parse ("we," "our," or "us"), operated by Verileads, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension and website collect, use, and safeguard your information.

Because Parse is designed for sales professionals and operates on CRM platforms, we have engineered the extension with a "local-first" architecture to ensure maximum data privacy and compliance.

1. Information We Collect via the Extension

We only collect the minimum amount of data necessary to provide our services.

A. Local Page Scanning (No Data Leaves Your Browser)

To function, Parse requests permission to read the text on the web pages you visit.

The extension scans the page locally for area codes, phone numbers, and ZIP codes to calculate the correct timezone.

Zero Payload: This scanning happens entirely offline within your browser using local databases. We do not transmit, log, or store any names, phone numbers, emails, CRM data, or personal information from the websites you browse.

B. External API Requests (Pro Users Only)

If you are a Parse Pro user and have the "Live Weather" feature enabled, the extension must contact our external servers to fetch weather data.

When this happens, the following specific data points are sent to our secure Cloudflare servers:

• Your License Key: To verify your active Pro status.
• An Anonymous Device ID: A randomly generated string (UUID) created by your browser to lock your license to your specific hardware and enforce usage limits.
• Geographic Query: The specific state abbreviation (e.g., "FL") or ZIP code needed to fetch the weather. We never send full phone numbers or lead data to our weather API.

C. Local Browser Storage

Parse uses your browser's native chrome.storage (both local and synced) to save your personal preferences. This includes:

• Theme settings (Dark/Light mode).
• UI preferences (e.g., 24-hour time, emoji visibility).
• Feature toggles (e.g., enabling/disabling ZIP code scanning).
• Domain blocklists (websites where you have disabled the extension).

This data is stored locally on your machine and/or synced via your Google account. We do not have access to this data.

2. Website Analytics and Cookies

While the Parse Chrome extension operates locally and does not contain trackers, our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC.

• Cookies: Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the website and report on activities and trends.
• Data Usage: We use this aggregated data solely to analyze website traffic, improve our website's functionality, and understand how visitors find us.
• Opt-Out: You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies in your browser or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or browsing data to third parties. As noted above, while we use website analytics, we do not use any third-party analytics trackers or advertising pixels within the Chrome extension itself.

4. Data Retention

Server Data: License validation checks and API request logs on our Cloudflare servers are transient and used strictly for rate-limiting and abuse prevention.

Local Data: Your settings and preferences remain in your browser's local storage until you uninstall the extension or clear your browser data.

5. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. API communications between the Parse extension and our validation servers are encrypted via HTTPS.

Furthermore, our extension architecture strictly isolates injected CSS and JavaScript to prevent cross-site scripting conflicts.

6. Your Choices and Controls

You have full control over how Parse operates:

• Disable on Specific Sites: You can disable the extension on specific domains from the popup.
• Toggle Features: You can disable phone scanning, ZIP scanning, or weather fetching in settings.
• Uninstall: Removing the extension deletes all locally stored preferences and the anonymous Device ID.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If significant changes occur, we will notify users via extension updates or our website.
