What the extension accesses
When the user clicks the extension button, the extension reads limited metadata from the currently active browser tab.
- Page URL
- Canonical URL, when available
- Page title
- Page description
- Preview image URL, when available
- Site name, when available
- Page language
How this information is used
This metadata is used only to open Gezgin's hosted share page and prefill the user-initiated link-sharing flow.
If the user continues with posting on Gezgin, Gezgin may process the shared link and related metadata to generate a link preview, suggest a short AI note, moderate the post, apply interest or location tagging where relevant, and publish the post to the user's account.
What the extension does not do
- It does not collect browsing history in the background
- It does not track all visited pages
- It does not read tab contents unless the user clicks the extension
- It does not sell personal data
- It does not use collected data for advertising
- It does not maintain its own analytics database for captured page metadata
Authentication and retention
If the user is not signed in to Gezgin, the user may be asked to sign in before completing the post.
The extension itself does not maintain a separate long-term local database of shared page metadata. If the user chooses to publish a post on Gezgin, the shared link and any note the user submits may be stored by Gezgin as part of the user's account activity and community content.
Third-party services
Shared link processing may involve requests to the target website in order to retrieve link preview metadata. Published content is handled through Gezgin's web services.
