Thank you for using the Carbon Footprint Tracker Chrome extension (referred to as "the Extension"). Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data when you use the Extension.
The Extension is designed to minimize data collection. We only collect the following information:
Data Transferred: The Extension reads the content-length header from HTTP responses to calculate the amount of data transferred during your browsing session.
Carbon Footprint Calculation: The Extension calculates and stores your session and total carbon footprint locally on your device.
The data collected is used solely for the following purposes:
To calculate and display your carbon footprint based on the data transferred during your browsing session.
To provide you with real-time feedback on your session and cumulative carbon footprint.
All data collected by the Extension is stored locally on your device using chrome.storage.local. This data is not transmitted to any external servers or third parties.
We do not share, sell, or transfer your data to any third parties. The data collected by the Extension is used exclusively for its intended purpose and is not used for any other purposes, including advertising or analytics.
The Extension requires the following permissions:
webRequest: To intercept HTTP responses and read the content-length header.
storage: To store your carbon footprint data locally.
tabs: To monitor active browsing sessions.
<all_urls>: To calculate carbon footprints for all websites you visit.
These permissions are strictly necessary for the functionality of the Extension and are not used to access personal or sensitive information.

Name, email address, or contact information.
Financial or payment information.
Health or medical information.
Location data (e.g., GPS or IP address).

You have full control over your data:
Reset Data: You can reset your carbon footprint history at any time using the "Reset History" button in the Extension's popup.
Uninstall: If you uninstall the Extension, all locally stored data will be deleted.
The Extension does not use remote code. All functionality is provided by locally included JavaScript, HTML, and CSS files. No external scripts or resources are loaded.
The Extension complies with the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies. Specifically:
We do not sell or transfer user data to third parties.
We do not use or transfer user data for purposes unrelated to the Extension's core functionality.
