Privacy Policy

Effective date: 11.11.2024

This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to the Prod Buddy Chrome extension. By using this extension, you agree to the collection and use of information as outlined in this policy.

Information We Collect

Prod Buddy may collect the following types of information during usage:

• Images and Image URLs: When the image download feature is used, image data is temporarily collected for display purposes. This includes image sources (src attributes) and alternative text (alt attributes).
• Links: The link scanning feature identifies and categorizes links on a webpage based on their attributes. It includes capturing link destinations (href attributes) and text content for analysis.
• Meta Information: When using the SEO analysis feature, the extension gathers the webpage's title and meta description.

How We Use the Information

The collected data is used solely to enhance user experience within the Prod Buddy extension. Specifically:

• Local Processing: All data collection and processing are conducted locally within the user's browser. Information is only processed to provide functionalities such as displaying images, generating link reports, and fetching meta tags.
• Dark Theme and User Preferences: The extension includes a dark/light theme toggle, which stores the user's theme preference in the local storage of the browser.
• Temporary Storage: Data processed by the extension (e.g., images, links, meta tags) is temporarily stored in the browser session for immediate use and is not transmitted externally.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Prod Buddy does not transmit any collected data to external servers, third-party services, or other users. All data processed by the extension remains within the user's browser.

Permissions and Data Access

The extension may request the following permissions:

• Active Tab Access: To interact with and collect data from the currently active webpage.
• Downloads Permission: To enable the downloading of selected images directly to the user's device.
• Local Storage Access: To store the user's theme preferences and temporary data.

User Control and Data Security

• Local Storage: Users have full control over the data stored by the extension. Any theme preferences or processed data stored locally can be cleared by the user at any time.
• Cache Clearing Feature: When users utilize the cache clearing functionality, parameters to clear disk and memory caches are appended to the current URL temporarily for processing.

We may update this policy to reflect new features or changes in data collection practices. Users will be notified of any significant updates through an extension update notice.
