Privacy Policy for UI Testing Inspector

Last Updated: July 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how UI Testing Inspector ("we," "us," "our," or "the Extension") handles information in connection with our browser extension.

Our Commitment to Privacy

UI Testing Inspector is designed with privacy as a core principle. All data processing happens locally in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information to external servers.

Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or have access to:

• Personal information (names, emails, addresses)
• Browsing history or website content
• IP addresses or location data
• Device identifiers or system information
• Login credentials or form data
• Any data from third-party sources

Information We Process Locally

The Extension processes the following information exclusively within your browser:

Screenshots and Visual Data

• Screenshots of web pages when you manually create baselines
• Visual comparison images and diff reports
• All images are stored locally in your browser's storage

Technical Data for Functionality

• Scroll Position: When creating a baseline, we capture the current scroll position to ensure accurate comparisons during testing
• Page Dimensions: Basic page layout measurements for proper screenshot capture
• DOM Structure: Anonymous element information for detecting layout changes (no personal content)

User Settings

• Theme preference (light/dark mode)
• Capture mode settings (full page vs viewport)
• Extension configuration preferences

How We Use This Information

All processing happens locally for these purposes:

• Creating visual baselines of web pages for testing
• Generating comparison reports between different page states
• Maintaining user preferences and settings
• Ensuring consistent screenshot capture positions

Data Storage and Retention

• All data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage APIs
• You control all data and can clear it at any time through the extension interface
• Reports are automatically limited to 15 items to manage storage space
• No data is synchronized across devices or sent to external servers

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not share any data with third parties. All processing occurs within your browser environment. The Extension:

• Does not transmit data to external servers
• Does not use third-party analytics services
• Does not integrate with external APIs or services
• Does not share data with advertisers or marketing companies

Your Control Over Data

You have complete control over your data:

• View Data: Access all stored screenshots and reports through the extension interface
• Delete Data: Clear individual reports or all data using the "Clear all reports" function
• Export Data: Download individual screenshots using the built-in download buttons

Security

Since all data remains local:

• Your data never travels over the internet
• No risk of data breaches from external servers
• Data security depends on your device's security measures
• We recommend keeping your browser updated for optimal security

Browser Permissions

The Extension uses these Chrome permissions:

• Storage: To save screenshots and settings locally
• ActiveTab: To capture screenshots of the current webpage
• Scripting: To analyze page elements for comparison reports
• UnlimitedStorage: To store high-resolution images without size limits
• Offscreen: To process images without affecting browser performance

International Users

Since all processing is local, there are no international data transfers. Your data remains on your device regardless of your location.

Children's Privacy

The Extension does not knowingly collect any information from children. It is designed for professional use by developers, QA engineers, and designers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the Extension's functionality. We will update the "Last Updated" date accordingly. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Chrome Web Store Compliance

This Extension complies with Chrome Web Store Developer Policies:

• Single purpose: Visual regression testing for web developers
• Limited use: Data is used solely for the declared functionality
• No data sales: We do not sell any user data to third parties
