Color picks (hex values)
Screenshots (PNG, base64)
SEO audit history (up to 50 results)
Toolbar settings & preferences

c) Page cookies & localStorage (Debug panel only)

Read and displayed on-screen when you open the Debug tab. Not stored persistently by the extension.

d) What we do NOT collect

Names, emails, passwords, IP addresses, browser history, bookmarks, geolocation, camera, mic.

Local storage

All data stored in chrome.storage.local only. No chrome.storage.sync, no IndexedDB, no extension cookies.

Export & deletion:

Options → Export all data → downloads JSON locally (no upload).
Options → Reset → clears all data. Uninstalling also removes all data.

Browser permissions

Permission	What it grants	Used for
`activeTab`	Access to active tab after user action.	Screenshots, SEO audits, toolbar, messaging.
`storage`	`chrome.storage.local` for settings, history, annotations.	All persistent extension data.
`tabs`	Tab query/reload/messaging.	SEO audit flow, popup communication, onboarding.
`contextMenus`	Right-click menu.	"Run SEO Audit" and "Toggle toolbar" entries.
`cookies`	Read page cookies.	Debug panel only – displayed on-screen, not stored.
`scripting`	Script injection fallback.	Only when content script is unreachable.
`alarms`	Service worker timer.	Short delay after page reload before SEO audit starts.
`<all_urls>`	Host permission for http/https.	Toolbar and color picker on any web page. Does not cause data transmission.

Network requests

DevAudit makes no connections to DevAudit servers. No analytics, advertising, or telemetry SDKs at runtime.

Optional outbound requests during SEO audit:

HEAD requests to external links on the page (broken-link check)
GET requests to standard files on the same domain: /robots.txt, /sitemap.xml, /ads.txt, /humans.txt, etc.

These requests contain only the URL – no personal data, no cookies, no DevAudit identifiers.

Links opened by user (standard navigations, not data transfers):

PageSpeed Insights (Google public tool)
anyserv.eu
ko-fi.com/anyserv
