Privacy Policy
100% Local Processing & Zero Data Collection
Frontend Dev Tool is designed from the ground up to respect your privacy. We do not collect, track, store, or transmit any of your personal data, browsing history, or inspected webpage content to external servers. All operations happen entirely within your local browser memory.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
When you use Frontend Dev Tool, we collect NO personal or analytics data. Specifically:
- No Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We do not ask for or collect names, email addresses, usernames, passwords, or contact details.
- No Browsing History or Page Content: We do not log, track, or record the web URLs you visit, the DOM structure of pages you inspect, or the content of your pages.
- No Analytics or Tracking Cookies: We do not use Google Analytics, tracking pixels, telemetry scripts, or third-party cookies.
- No External Network Requests: The extension does not communicate with any external backend API servers or remote logging services.
2. Local Processing & In-Browser Tools
All capabilities of Frontend Dev Tool (such as element style extraction, font inspection, color picking, WCAG contrast ratio evaluation, element screenshots, and PDF exporting) execute strictly within your local Chrome browser session.
When you take a screenshot or export a PDF, the image data is rendered directly inside your browser's HTML5 Canvas memory and saved straight to your computer's local Downloads folder. No images or PDFs are uploaded anywhere.
3. Chrome Extension Permissions Explained
To provide developer inspection features, Frontend Dev Tool requests only the minimum required Chrome Extension permissions:
| Permission | Purpose & Usage |
|---|---|
activeTab |
Allows the extension to inspect DOM element styles, measure dimensions, and capture screenshots on the active tab only when you explicitly interact with the extension menu. |
scripting |
Allows the extension to inject the inspection overlay, ruler guides, and drawing canvas into the current page when activated. |
storage |
Used exclusively to save your local UI preferences (such as toolbar position and active inspection settings) inside Chrome's built-in local extension storage. |
4. Data Security & Third-Party Sharing
Because we do not collect or store any user data, there is no data to share, sell, rent, or monetize. Your data never leaves your computer.
We do not share any data with third parties, advertising networks, data brokers, or analytics providers under any circumstances.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect extension updates or compliance requirements. Any revisions will be published directly on this page with an updated effective date.
