PRIVACY POLICY FOR "Edit anything - Boost any page"
Last Updated: August 5, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
This Privacy Policy outlines how the "Edit anything - Boost any page" Chrome extension handles user privacy, data processing, and browser permissions. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding how our extension operates.
2. PURPOSE OF THE EXTENSION
"Edit anything - Boost any page" is a utility tool that enables users to edit webpage text dynamically, take full-page or section screenshots, toggle dark mode, and perform custom webpage enhancements directly within their web browser.
3. PERMISSIONS REQUIRED AND DETAILED PURPOSE
To deliver its features, the extension requests specific browser permissions in `manifest.json`. Each permission is strictly used for functional purposes as outlined below:
- `activeTab`:
- Purpose: Grants temporary, high-level access to the current active browser tab when you click or trigger the extension.
- Why it is needed: Required to enable live webpage editing, capture screenshots, and apply visual changes (such as dark mode) to the tab you are actively working on.
- `scripting`:
- Purpose: Allows the extension to execute scripts and inject styles into web pages.
- Why it is needed: Necessary to make webpage content editable (`contentEditable`), inject screenshot capture logic, and toggle dark mode elements on demand.
- `contextMenus`:
- Purpose: Enables the extension to create custom items in the right-click context menu.
- Why it is needed: Adds convenient quick-access options (e.g., "Edit Anything", "Take Screenshot", "Toggle Dark Mode") when you right-click on any webpage.
- `storage`:
- Purpose: Accesses Chrome's `storage.local` and `storage.sync` APIs.
- Why it is needed: Used to store user settings, preferences, and local trial/subscription status locally on your browser. No personal browsing data is saved.
- `cookies`:
- Purpose: Accesses cookie storage specifically for license verification domains (e.g., `myexthub.com`).
- Why it is needed: Strictly used to verify trial and subscription expiration dates across browser sessions and reinstalls. It prevents trial reset abuse without requiring invasive tracking.
- `<all_urls>` (Host Permissions):
- Purpose: Gives the extension permission to interact with web pages across all websites.
- Why it is needed: Since users can edit text or take screenshots on any site on the web, host permissions for all URLs are required for the core features to work universally.
4. DATA COLLECTION, USE, AND SHARING
- Zero Personal Data Tracking: We do NOT collect, record, log, transmit, or sell your browsing history, page content, typed text, or personal information.
- Local Processing: All page edits, screenshot captures, and visual transformations are executed entirely locally on your device inside your browser.
- Data Security: We do not store any user content on external servers.
5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND LICENSE SYNC
- License & Subscription Management: The extension communicates with `myexthub.com` solely to check subscription/trial status (`/api/status`) if you link an email address for premium activation. No web browsing activity or page content is ever transmitted to this or any third-party service.
6. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect functional updates or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be reflected in this file.
7. CONTACT INFORMATION
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or the permissions requested by the extension, please contact us via the Chrome Web Store support page or support channel.
