Privacy Policy — SSR Inspector
Short version: SSR Inspector does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data, browsing data, or user information, ever. Everything the extension does happens entirely within your browser.
What this extension does
SSR Inspector is a developer tool that compares the live rendered HTML of a webpage against the version a search engine crawler would see, to surface server-side rendering discrepancies that could affect SEO.
All analysis is performed locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server at any point during this process.
No data is collected
SSR Inspector does not collect, log, or transmit any of the following:
URLs or domains you visit
Page HTML or content
Personal information of any kind
Usage analytics or telemetry
Crash reports or diagnostic data
There is no database, no analytics pipeline, and no backend that receives information from the extension.
What stays on your device
The extension may use chrome.storage.local to store your preferences (such as display settings or last-used configuration). This data:
Never leaves your device
Is never transmitted to any server
Can be cleared at any time via Chrome's extension settings
Why each permission is needed
Every permission requested by the extension is scoped to a single, transparent purpose:
activeTab — read the rendered HTML of the tab you are inspecting, only when you invoke the extension.
scripting — inject a script to extract the live DOM for comparison. No data is sent externally.
storage — save your preferences locally on your device only.
sidePanel — display findings in Chrome's side panel alongside the page you are inspecting.
webNavigation — detect page navigation to reset the comparison state for the new URL.
declarativeNetRequest — modify request headers to simulate how a crawler fetches pages, for accurate SSR analysis.
No third-party sharing
No data is shared, sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties, because no data is collected to share in the first place.
Policy updates
If this policy ever changes, for example if a future version of the extension introduces optional analytics, this page will be updated and the section above will reflect the new revision date. Data collection will never be introduced silently.
