Data & Lead Scraping Tool · Publisher: TechBiz Security · Last updated: 12 June 2026

LeadForge processes data locally in your browser and does not transmit scraped data to any external server. Everything it extracts is stored only on your own device using Chrome's storage.local API. No analytics, no tracking, no sign-up required.

What the extension accesses

The page you are viewing. When you click Scan / Scrape, LeadForge reads the already-rendered, publicly visible HTML of the active tab to detect and extract business fields (name, phone, email, website, address, category, ratings, and similar publicly shown details).
Optional auto-scroll. To load lazy/infinite content (e.g. map results), LeadForge can scroll the page at human speed. It only scrolls and reads the page — it does not issue background network requests, forge traffic, solve captchas, or bypass any anti-bot, login, or paywall protection.

What is stored, and where

All of the following live exclusively in chrome.storage.local on your device:

Data	Purpose
Extracted rows / current draft	Preview and export your results
Session history (last ~50)	Re-open and re-export past scrapes
Settings	Your preferences (floating button, polite mode, session cap)
Optional account name/email	Reserved for future sync; never transmitted today
Optional license key	Reserved for future Pro features; validated locally only
Optional site connections	Convenience credential notes you choose to save, on-device only

You can delete any session from History, clear the working table, or remove saved connections at any time. Uninstalling the extension removes all of it.

What is NOT collected

No browsing history, no keystroke logging, no page content beyond what you explicitly scan.
No telemetry, no analytics, no advertising identifiers.
No transmission of extracted data off your device.

Permissions justification

LeadForge requests the minimum permissions and uses no broad host permissions and no persistent content scripts:

storage — save sessions, settings, and drafts locally on your device.
activeTab — temporary access to only the tab you are on, and only when you click the LeadForge icon/shortcut.
scripting — inject the extractor into that active tab on demand when you scan.

There is no tabs permission and no <all_urls> host permission. The extension cannot run on any page on its own — extraction happens only on your explicit click, on the single tab you are viewing.

Responsible use

You are responsible for complying with the terms of service and applicable laws of the websites you scan, and for how you use exported data (including anti-spam and data-protection regulations such as GDPR/CCPA where relevant). LeadForge only surfaces information that is already publicly visible to you in your browser.

Trademarks & affiliation
