Website Detector Policy

Privacy Policy

Website Detector performs all analysis locally inside the browser. It does not send page data to a server, does not collect analytics, and stores saved results only on the user's device.

1. What the extension does

Website Detector analyzes the page you explicitly choose to scan and looks for technology signals such as metadata, DOM markers, resource paths, cookie names, and runtime fingerprints. The analysis runs entirely on your device.

2. Data collection

  • check_circleNo personal data is collected, sold, or transmitted.
  • check_circleNo browsing history is collected by default.
  • check_circleNo page content is stored unless the user explicitly saves a scan result.
  • check_circleCookie values are never read; only cookie names may be checked as technology clues.
  • check_circleForm values, passwords, and authentication tokens are never accessed.

3. Local storage

Preferences and saved results are stored using Chrome local storage only. Saved results may include technology names, confidence levels, and sanitized evidence strings with query strings removed.

4. Permissions
