Better Up — Upwork Client Intelligence Extension

Last updated: March 2026
🔍

Data We Access

Better Up reads only publicly visible information on Upwork job pages you actively visit — client history, hiring stats, job activity, and posted skills. No login credentials, private messages, financial details, or personal data are ever accessed.

💾

Data Storage

All extracted Upwork data is stored temporarily in your browser's local memory (via chrome.storage.local) and in-memory cache only. Data is associated with the browser tab and is cleared when the tab is closed or the extension is reloaded.

No Upwork or personal data is ever written to external servers or persistent disk storage beyond what Chrome's storage API provides.

💬

Feedback System

When you submit feedback through the extension, your message, email, feedback type, screenshots (if any), browser info, and extension version are sent to a secure server to create a support ticket. This data is only used to address your feedback.

📊

Anonymous Analytics

Better Up sends a single anonymous event ("popup opened") to Google Analytics 4 each time the popup is opened. This event is associated with a randomly generated install ID — never your name, email, Upwork account, browsing history, or any identifiable information.

Google may estimate your approximate country or city as part of their standard analytics service. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
