Privacy Policy
Effective date: February 22, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how the Website Theme Personalizer browser extension ("the Extension") collects, uses, and stores data.
Data We Do Not Collect
- We do not collect personal identifiers such as names, email addresses, postal addresses, or phone numbers.
- We do not collect health, payment, or authentication credentials.
- We do not upload or transmit your browsing history, emails, messages, or other private communications to our servers.
Data We Collect and Why
The Extension operates locally in your browser to scan and modify page colors and to persist your preferences. The following data may be read or stored locally to support the Extension's features:
- Page DOM and styles (website content): The Extension reads the page Document Object Model (DOM) and computed CSS styles when you run the color scanner or inspector. This is necessary to determine colors and apply style overrides. (Collected only on pages where you activate the tool.)
- Active tab screenshot: When you use the color picker, the Extension captures a screenshot of the visible tab (processed locally in the browser) so you can pick colors visually. Screenshots are not uploaded to any external server.
- Selection metadata: When you pick an element or color, the Extension may store selector strings, a hostname, color values, timestamps, and small UI state objects in the browser's local storage (e.g., keys such as
pendingSelection, pendingColorPick, appliedPalette, and tabId). These are used only to coordinate the UI and persist per-site overrides.
- User interactions (local, transient): While in inspect or pick mode the content script listens for mouse movement, clicks, and keyboard events (Escape) to detect which element the user selects. These events are processed locally and are not recorded or transmitted externally except for the small selection metadata described above.
How We Use and Store Data
All data described above is stored locally in the user's browser via the extension's local storage and used to:
- Provide the color scanning, element inspection, and picker UI.
- Apply and persist per-site color palettes or overrides until the user restores the page.
- Coordinate communication between the extension UI (side panel/popup), background service worker, and content scripts.
No data is sent to third-party servers or external analytics by default. The Extension does not perform remote uploads of screenshots, page content, or personal data.
