Ext-Ray — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 June 2026

In short: Ext-Ray collects nothing, sends nothing, and has no servers or accounts. Everything it does happens entirely on your own device.

What data Ext-Ray collects

None. Ext-Ray does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal or sensitive information. It has no backend, no analytics, no telemetry, and no user accounts, and it makes no network requests of any kind.

Local storage on your device

Ext-Ray uses Chrome's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) to save, only on your own computer:

• your settings (background monitoring on/off, re-scan interval, notification preference, and any extensions you choose to ignore); and
• the most recent snapshot of your installed extensions' declared metadata (name, version, declared permissions, host access, install type), so it can detect changes over time.

This information never leaves your device, is never sent anywhere, and is removed when you uninstall Ext-Ray.

How Ext-Ray uses the “management” permission

Ext-Ray reads the list of your installed extensions and their declared metadata, together with Chrome's own permission warnings, to calculate security and privacy risk scores on your device. This access is read-only. Ext-Ray never enables, disables, or removes another extension unless you explicitly click a button to do so.

Permissions, and why each is needed

• management — read your installed extensions' declared metadata to analyze risk (read-only by default).
• storage — save your settings and the latest local snapshot on your device.
• alarms — schedule periodic background re-scans so changes are noticed.
• notifications — alert you when a newly installed or updated extension crosses a risk threshold.

Ext-Ray requests no host permissions and cannot read the content of any web page.

Third parties

None. Because Ext-Ray collects no data, there is nothing to share with anyone.

Your rights (GDPR / CCPA and similar)

Ext-Ray holds no personal data about you on any server, so there is nothing for us to access, export, correct, or delete on your behalf. Uninstalling the extension deletes all of its locally stored data from your device.

Children

Ext-Ray is a general-audience tool and does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.
