Here is a standard, professional Privacy Policy tailored specifically for how your extension works. Since your extension only reads data locally and does not collect, store, or transmit any user data to external servers, this policy is very straightforward.

You can host this on a simple Google Doc, a free GitHub Pages site, or your own website, and then link to it in your Google Developer Dashboard.

Privacy Policy for Heading Auditor Pro

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

Heading Auditor Pro (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you install and use the Heading Auditor Pro Google Chrome Extension (the “Extension”).

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. The Extension operates entirely locally on your device. It does not require you to create an account, nor does it track your browsing history, IP address, or any personally identifiable information (PII).

2. How the Extension Works

When you actively click the Extension icon in your browser, the Extension scans the current web page you are viewing to identify and extract HTML heading tags (H1 through H6) and their text content.

  • This data extraction happens strictly locally within your browser.

  • The extracted data is temporarily used to display the heading structure within the Extension’s popup window.

  • Once you close the Extension popup or navigate away from the page, this temporary data is immediately discarded.

3. Permissions We Request

To function correctly, the Extension requires the following permissions, which are used strictly for their intended purposes:

  • activeTab: This allows the Extension to temporarily access the active webpage only when you explicitly click the Extension icon. It does not grant background access to your browsing activity.

  • scripting: This allows the Extension to run a local script on the active page to read the heading tags and to scroll your screen to the selected heading when you click an item in the Extension’s popup.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Because we do not collect or store any user data, we have no data to share, sell, rent, or disclose to any third parties, advertisers, or analytics services.

5. Third-Party Links

The Extension only interacts with the webpage you are currently visiting. It does not inject third-party links or advertisements into the pages you view.

6. Data Security

All processing of page content happens directly on your local machine. No data is sent to external servers, ensuring that your browsing information remains secure and private on your own device.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
