Privacy Policy

NetLog Network & Console Monitor Chrome Extension

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how the NetLog Network & Console Monitor Chrome Extension ("we", "our", or "the extension") handles your data and protects your privacy when you use our browser extension.

TL;DR: Our extension operates entirely locally in your browser. We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any of your personal data with external servers or third parties.

Information We Do NOT Collect

NetLog Network & Console Monitor is designed with privacy as a core principle. We explicitly do NOT collect:

  • Personal information (names, emails, addresses, phone numbers)
  • Browsing history or website URLs
  • Network request contents or responses
  • Console log messages or error details
  • User behavior or usage analytics
  • Cookies or session data
  • Device information or identifiers
  • Location data
  • Authentication credentials

How the Extension Works

Our extension functions entirely within your local browser environment:

  • Local Processing: All network monitoring and console logging happens locally on your device
  • Temporary Storage: Data is only stored temporarily in your browser's local storage while the extension is active
  • No External Communication: The extension does not communicate with any external servers or services
  • Data Isolation: Each browser tab's data is isolated and not shared between tabs

Required Permissions

Why We Need These Permissions:

  • activeTab: Required to access the current tab for monitoring functionality
  • debugger: Necessary to monitor network requests and console logs through Chrome's debugger API
  • storage: Used to store extension settings and preferences locally in your browser
  • scripting: Required to inject the monitoring overlay into web pages
  • host_permissions (http://*/*, https://*/*): Allows the extension to work on all websites

These permissions are used solely for the extension's core functionality and are not used to collect or transmit personal data.

Data Storage and Retention

Any data temporarily stored by the extension:

  • Is stored only in your browser's local storage
  • Is automatically cleared when you close the browser tab or restart your browser
  • Can be manually cleared using the extension's "Clear" button
  • Is never transmitted outside your device
  • Is not accessible to other websites or extensions

Third-Party Services

Our extension does not:

  • Use any third-party analytics services
  • Connect to external APIs or services
  • Include any tracking pixels or beacons
  • Share data with advertising networks
  • Use any third-party libraries that collect data

Security Measures

We implement several security measures to protect your privacy:

  • All operations are performed locally within Chrome's secure extension environment
  • We use Chrome's official APIs following security best practices
  • No network connections are made to external servers
  • All data remains within your browser's sandbox
  • The extension respects same-origin policy and web security standards

Children's Privacy

Our extension does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Since we do not collect any personal information at all, our extension is safe for users of all ages.
