Signal — Community Intelligence: Privacy Policy

Effective October 19, 2026

Signal is a Chrome extension that helps local service businesses find potential customers in the Facebook Groups and Nextdoor feeds they already belong to. This policy explains what the extension reads, what it stores, and what it does not do.

What the extension reads

Signal reads the text, links, and timestamps of posts displayed on facebook.com and nextdoor.com while you are logged in to your own account. It only reads content your account can already see. It does not access groups you have not joined, and it does not bypass any login or access control.

If you add Facebook Groups to Monitored Communities, Signal opens those groups in background tabs on the schedule you choose, reads new posts, and closes the tabs it opened.

What the extension stores

Signal stores the following data in your browser's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your own device:

• The business profile you enter: business name, trade, services, service area, and competitor names.
• Your keyword watchlists, monitored group list, and scan settings.
• Posts identified as potential leads, including post text, author name as displayed, post link, and the scores Signal assigned.
• Your feedback on leads and any reply drafts you generate.

Uninstalling the extension deletes this data. You can also delete all saved leads at any time from the extension's Settings page.

What the extension does not do

• It does not send any data to the developer or to any third-party server. The extension makes no network requests of its own.
• It does not sell, share, or transfer your data to anyone.
• It does not use analytics, tracking, or advertising.
• It does not collect your passwords or log in on your behalf.
• It does not post, comment, react, or send messages on your behalf. Reply drafts are only copied to your clipboard when you choose.

Permissions

• storage keeps your settings and leads on your device.
• notifications alerts you to high-intent leads.
• alarms runs scheduled scans of your monitored groups.
• tabs opens and closes background tabs for scheduled scans and opens a lead's original post when you click it.
• Access to facebook.com and nextdoor.com lets the extension read posts on those sites.

Use of data

Data read by Signal is used only to identify and display potential leads to you. It is not used for any purpose unrelated to that function, and it is never used to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
