Privacy: Netherlands Visa Sponsor Checker

Last updated: November 2026

In short

The extension checks employer names against a copy of the IND public register that is stored in your browser. The names of the employers and jobs you look at are not sent to WerkCV or to anyone else. There is no account and no sign-in.

What stays on your computer

  • The copy of the IND register (employer names and KvK numbers, which the IND publishes).
  • Your settings: the salary threshold you chose, whether badges are shown, and the “only sponsors” filter.
  • The dates on which sponsor badges were shown, at most the last ten, so the menu can ask for a rating once.

What is sent, and when

  • Once a day the extension downloads the latest register copy from werkcv.nl. Like any web request, this reaches our server with your IP address and browser version; it contains nothing about the pages you visited.
  • If LinkedIn or Indeed changes its layout so that no employers can be read on a results page, the extension sends a count to werkcv.nl, at most once a day per site: the event name, the site (LinkedIn or Indeed) and the extension version. No page address, job, employer or identifier.
  • When you click “Report a wrong match”, your email program opens a message to contact@werkcv.nl with the employer name as shown, its LinkedIn page name and the matched KvK numbers. Nothing is sent unless you send that email.

What the extension never does

  • Collect your browsing history, searches or the jobs you view.
  • Read pages other than job listings on LinkedIn and Indeed Netherlands, except the tab you choose with “Check this page”.
  • Show adverts, change links or add promotion to the job sites.
  • Sell or share data. It runs no code downloaded from the internet; the daily download is a data file only.
