GEO Snapshot privacy.
The browser extension collects nothing and sends nothing. This page says exactly what it reads, what it keeps on your own computer, and how to delete it.
The short version
GEO Snapshot reads the page you are looking at, works out what is missing, and shows you the answer. Nothing is sent to sizrok. Nothing is sent to anyone else. There is no server, no account and no analytics.
Version 2.0 does keep a short audit history, so it can tell you what changed since last time. That history lives in your own browser on your own computer, it is never transmitted, and there is one button in the settings that deletes it.
What changed in version 2.0
Version 1.1 stored nothing at all. Three things are new, and this page exists to be straight about them.
- It now saves a little to your own computer. Audit history, where you dragged the panel, the domain you told it to treat as yours, and one settings choice. Local only. Details below.
- It can scan a whole site. When you ask it to, it reads other pages on the same website you are already on, the way your browser would if you clicked through them.
- It can run on a few other sites, if you switch them on. Search engines and AI assistants, so it can show you which websites an answer cited. Every one of these is off when you install it.

What the extension reads
When you click the toolbar icon, and only then, GEO Snapshot reads the page open in that tab. It reads the title, the meta tags, the headings, the canonical link, any structured data, the image alt attributes, the links and the visible text, and it measures them.
It also requests a few files from the same website you are already on: robots.txt, llms.txt and the XML sitemap. If you press Scan the whole site, it then requests other pages on that same website and measures those too.
It does not read other tabs. It does not read anything before you click. On any site you have not switched on in the settings, its access ends when you close the tab or navigate away.
What it keeps on your computer
Four things, all held in your browser's own local storage, on your machine. None of it is sent anywhere, and none of it is readable by us.
| What | Why | How to remove it |
|---|---|---|
| Audit history The address of each page you audited with the query string and anchor removed, the date, the score, the counts of passes and failures, the title, the meta description, the word count, and which checks were failing. |
So the panel can tell you what changed since the last time you looked at that page. It keeps the last 12 audits per page and the 300 most recently audited pages, then discards the oldest. | Settings, then Delete it all. That switch deletes what is already stored rather than merely stopping new entries. |
| Where you dragged the panel Two numbers. |
So it opens where you left it instead of back in the corner every time. | Double click the panel header to reset it, or uninstall. |
| Your own domain One line of text, only if you enter it. |
So the extension can point out where your own site appears in a set of results. | Clear the field in settings, or uninstall. |
| Whether the search panel opens by itself One setting, on or off. |
So the choice you make in settings survives the next search. It says nothing about you or about any page you visited. | Toggle it back in settings, or uninstall. |
No page content, no body text and no personal information is stored. The history holds measurements about a page and the two tags a search engine already shows publicly.
What is off until you switch it on
The extension asks for no website access when you install it. Everything in this table is optional, off by default, and listed in the settings page with one switch each. Switching one off hands the permission back to Chrome immediately.
| Optional extra | What it does there |
|---|---|
| Search results Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo |
Reads the results page you are looking at to show you what is on it, including where your own domain appears. |
| AI assistants ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot |
Reads the answer shown on screen to find which websites it cited, and lists them. This is the point of the tool: knowing which sites get quoted. Nothing it reads on those pages is stored, and nothing is sent anywhere. Your conversations are not recorded, transmitted or retained by the extension in any form. |
| Checking links to other websites | Asks each site a page links out to whether that link still works. This one needs broad access because a page can link anywhere, which is exactly why it is optional and off by default. The request goes out from the extension, carries no information about you, and only the status code comes back. |
What happens to what it reads
Everything other than the four items in the table above is held in the memory of that browser tab while the panel is open, and is gone when you close it. It is not written to disk and it is not sent over the network.
The extension contains no analytics, no error reporting and no telemetry, and no code for any of those things.
What it never does
- It does not collect, transmit, sell, share or transfer any data to sizrok or to anyone else. There is no server for it to send anything to.
- It does not use any data for advertising, profiling, credit scoring or lending decisions.
- It does not run code downloaded from the internet. All of its JavaScript, its stylesheet and its typeface are inside the package you installed.
- It sets no cookies and reads none.
- It does not read a page on any website you have not either clicked the icon on or switched on yourself.
Permissions, and why each one exists
| Permission | What it allows | Why it is the smallest option |
|---|---|---|
| activeTab | Temporary access to the single tab you clicked on, which is what lets the extension read that page. | The alternative is asking for access to every site you visit. The extension does not do that, and never sees a tab you have not clicked on. |
| scripting | Placing the analysis files into that tab when you click. | Nothing runs on any page until you ask it to. The extension declares no content scripts that run automatically. |
| storage | Saving the four items in the table further up this page to your own browser. | This is local storage on your machine, not storage belonging to us. It holds no page content and it is never synced or transmitted. |
| Optional site access | Nothing, until you grant it. Each search engine or assistant in the settings page requests access to that one site at the moment you switch it on. | Chrome shows you the exact site before granting it, and the switch revokes it just as directly. Nothing is granted at install time. |
The network requests, explained
Requests for robots.txt, llms.txt, the sitemap and, during a site scan, other pages, all go to the website you are already visiting. They are ordinary requests to that site, the same as loading any other page on it, and they carry nothing beyond what your browser would normally send.
If you switch on checking links to other websites, the extension also asks the sites a page links out to whether those links still resolve. Those requests go to the linked sites, contain no information about you, and exist only to read a status code.
No request of any kind goes to sizrok, and none goes to a third party we have chosen.
Children
GEO Snapshot is a tool for people who build and market websites. It is not directed at children and it collects nothing from anyone.
Your rights
Because we hold no personal data from this extension, there is nothing for us to give you a copy of, correct or delete. The audit history is on your computer, under your control, and one button removes it. You still have rights under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 in relation to anything else we hold about you, and those are set out in our website privacy policy. If you believe we have handled your data badly, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Removing the extension
Uninstalling it from the Chrome extensions page removes it completely, including the audit history and the two settings above. Nothing is left behind, because nothing was ever anywhere else.
Changes to this policy
If a future version of the extension does anything different with your data, this page will say so before that version is published, and the date at the top will change. This version is dated 15 August 2026 and covers version 2.0.1. The version 1.1.0 policy is superseded: that build stored nothing at all, and this one stores the four local items described above.
