What Lantern is

Lantern is a tool that helps founders identify and contact investors. It comprises a web app and a Chrome browser extension. The extension reads pages on linkedin.com (only when you direct it to) and sends structured data to the Lantern web app, which stores it in your account.

What we collect

Account info you provide: name, email, password hash, your LinkedIn profile URL, and any campaign details you type into the dashboard.
Investor profile data the agent scrapes for you: names, public job titles, public headlines, location, public LinkedIn profile URLs, and the visible mutual connections between you and those investors. This data is fetched from LinkedIn pages that you are logged into; the extension uses your own session cookie. We do not sell or share this data.
Email addresses returned by our email-finder agent: when you click "Find email", we ask a third-party email-finder service for the address corresponding to a LinkedIn profile URL. Any verified address is stored on your account.
Operational logs: we record when each agent action runs, how long it took, and how many results it produced (per-user). We do not log the content of scraped pages.

What we do not collect

We do not read or store your LinkedIn password. The extension only reads the session cookie that LinkedIn already set in your browser; we use it to make requests on your behalf to the same pages you can already see.
We do not access pages outside linkedin.com or our own dashboard origin. The extension's host_permissions are scoped to those two origins.
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers.

Third-party services

Lantern uses Anymailfinder as the email-finder backend. When you click an "Agent" find-email button, we send the target's LinkedIn profile URL to Anymailfinder; their service returns a candidate email address along with a verification status. Anymailfinder is the data processor for that lookup; their privacy policy is here.

How we store data

Data lives in a Postgres database on infrastructure we operate. Backups follow standard cloud retention. Sessions use HttpOnly cookies signed with NextAuth.
