Privacy Policy

Thank you for using the Google Index Checker Chrome extension. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our Chrome extension.

1. Information We Collect

The Google Index Checker extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal or sensitive information about its users. All data, including URLs checked for Google indexing, remains local to your browser and is not sent to any external server or third party.

Data Collected:

• URLs for Index Checking: When you check a URL for indexing status, the extension uses Google’s Custom Search API to query whether the URL is indexed. These URLs are not stored, tracked, or shared by us.

• Local Storage: The extension may use Chrome’s local storage to remember your preferences or settings for future use. No personal data is collected or transmitted.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information processed by the extension (such as URLs) solely to provide the functionality of checking whether the URLs are indexed by Google. The results of these checks are displayed directly in the extension and are not shared or stored externally.

3. Permissions

To provide the necessary functionality, the extension requires certain permissions:

• ActiveTab Permission: Allows the extension to access the current tab’s URL when the extension is clicked, ensuring we can check if that specific page is indexed in Google.

• Scripting Permission: Allows the extension to inject and run scripts to interact with the content of the active tab for specific tasks like retrieving the page URL for indexing checks.

• Storage Permission: Allows the extension to store user settings and preferences locally, ensuring a seamless experience without the need for repeated configurations.

4. Third-Party Services

The extension uses Google’s Custom Search API to check if URLs are indexed. This involves sending a request to Google’s API with the URL, and the response is used to determine the index status. We do not collect or store this information, but please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy for details on how they handle data: Google Privacy Policy.

5. Data Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. The extension operates entirely within your browser and does not transmit any data to external servers. The URLs checked remain local to your machine, and no data is shared with us or any third-party services beyond Google’s API (for index checking purposes).

6. Children’s Privacy

Our extension is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect any changes in the extension or relevant legal requirements. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.
