Technical SEO Checklist Extension — Privacy Policy

1. Data Collection:

The Technical SEO Checklist extension does not collect, store, or request any personally identifiable information (such as name, email, address, or browsing history). No data is transmitted outside the user’s browser at any time.

2. Checklist Data:

This extension offers a 22-point technical SEO audit. The only information stored is data directly related to the user’s checklist progress:

• Checklist progress (checked/unchecked items)
• The hostname of the website being reviewed
• Optional exported audit reports (generated only when the user chooses to export)

3. Data Usage and Storage:

All data used by the extension is processed and saved locally on the user’s device via Chrome’s chrome.storage.local API. No information—technical or personal—is ever sent to remote servers, external databases, analytics tools, or third parties. The extension works entirely offline and does not communicate with outside systems.

4. Permissions:

The extension requires only minimal permissions necessary for its core features:

• activeTab — used solely to detect the current website’s hostname for saving progress.
• storage — used to save checklist data locally on the user’s device.

No additional permissions are requested, and none of the required permissions are used to collect or transmit personal information.

5. Data Sharing:

The Technical SEO Checklist extension does not share, transmit, sell, or distribute any data—personal or technical—to any third parties. All information remains on the user’s device under their full control.

6. Compliance:

This Privacy Policy follows the requirements of the Chrome Web Store and aligns with the principles of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the extension does not collect or process personally identifiable information, additional user consent is not required.
