Privacy

What Metaspry sends, where, and why.

The free Chrome extension is local-first. The audit, the previews, the JSON-LD parsing - all happen inside the browser.

What stays on your device

  • Every scan you run.
  • The 10-entry local history.
  • Pinned tags + theme + side-panel/popup mode preference.
  • Settings (audit thresholds, rule weights).

Stored via chrome.storage.local. Cleared when you uninstall the extension or clear extension storage.

What goes over the network

Three HTTP fetches per scan, each issued from your browser to the page’s own host:

  • GET /robots.txt
  • GET /sitemap.xml (and child sitemaps if it’s an index, up to 20)
  • GET /llms.txt

Plus image loads (og:image, twitter:image) when the Audit tab measures dimensions or Previews renders cards.

That’s it. No telemetry, no tracking, no analytics.

metaspry.com itself

The marketing site at metaspry.com (this site) optionally loads GoatCounter - a privacy-focused, no-cookie analytics tracker - only when PUBLIC_GOATCOUNTER_CODE is set at build time. It does not load by default.

The website does not set cookies. The newsletter form posts directly to Buttondown; no third-party scripts inject themselves into the page.

AI crawlers

The extension and the site explicitly allow AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) to index metaspry.com. That’s a positioning choice for the site itself - the Chrome extension doesn’t crawl anything and doesn’t expose your scan data to anyone.

Pro and Team

The free extension stays local-first whether or not you have an account. Pro and Team add opt-in cloud features:

  • Cloud history - scans sync to your account so your history follows you across machines. This only happens while you are signed in; sign out and the extension is local-only again.
  • Shareable snapshots - any scan can become a public metaspry.com/s/<id> link. Personal-looking fields (email, phone, address) are stripped before a snapshot is published, so a share never carries that data.
  • Bulk audit, scan-a-URL, and drift monitoring - these fetch the URLs you ask Metaspry to audit, the same way a browser would. Results live in your account history.
  • Team workspaces - workspace members see the scans and folders shared in that workspace, per their role.

Nothing about your scan data is sold, shared with third parties, or used for anything beyond running the feature you asked for.
