Brand Consistency Checker is committed to protecting your privacy. This extension is designed with privacy as a core principle and collects NO user data whatsoever.

Data Collection Statement

We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any of your data. Period.

What We DON'T Do

❌ No Data Collection: We don't collect any information about you, your browsing, or your websites.

❌ No Tracking: We don't track your usage, behavior, or activities.

❌ No Analytics: We don't use any analytics services (no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, nothing).

❌ No External Servers: We don't send any data to our servers because we don't have any servers.

❌ No Third Parties: We don't share data with third parties because we don't have any data to share.

❌ No User Accounts: We don't require or offer user accounts, so we don't store any account information.

How the Extension Works

Local Processing Only

Everything happens on your computer:

1. Page Analysis: When you analyze a page, all processing happens locally in your browser.
2. Brand Guidelines: Your brand settings are stored locally using browser.storage.local.
3. Reports: Generated reports are created locally and saved to your computer.
4. Results: All analysis results stay in your browser session.

No Network Activity

This extension makes ZERO network requests. You can verify this by:

1. Opening Firefox Developer Tools (F12)
2. Going to the Network tab
3. Using the extension
4. Observing: NO requests to external servers

Data Storage

What Is Stored Locally

The extension stores only your brand guidelines in your browser's local storage:

• Primary colors (hex codes you configure)
• Secondary colors (hex codes you configure)
• Allowed fonts (font names you specify)
• Font size limits (min/max values)
• Spacing preferences (spacing values)

Accessing Your Stored Data

You can view and delete this data at any time:

1. Open about:debugging in Firefox
2. Click "This Firefox"
3. Find "Brand Consistency Checker"
4. Click "Inspect" → "Storage" tab
5. Select "Local Storage"

To delete all data:
1. Right-click on stored items
2. Select "Delete All"

OR simply uninstall the extension - all data is removed automatically.

What we do: Add our brand checking functionality to pages you analyze.
What we DON'T do: Modify page content or steal information.

downloads

What we DON'T do: Download anything without your explicit action or upload anything.

host_permissions: <all_urls>

You are in complete control of the extension at all times.
