Privacy Policy - Email Radar Chrome Extension

Last updated: May 2026

─────────────────────────────────────────────

1. OVERVIEW

─────────────────────────────────────────────

Email Radar ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that extracts 

email addresses from webpages. This Privacy Policy explains what data the 

Extension accesses, how it is used, and what is never collected.

The short version: Email Radar collects nothing, stores nothing, and sends 

nothing anywhere. Ever.

─────────────────────────────────────────────

2. DATA COLLECTION

─────────────────────────────────────────────

Email Radar does NOT collect any personal data.

Specifically, the Extension:

• Does NOT collect your name, email address, or any identity information

• Does NOT collect browsing history or visited URLs

• Does NOT collect the email addresses it extracts from pages

• Does NOT use cookies or any local storage mechanism

• Does NOT use analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry of any kind

• Does NOT use any third-party services or SDKs

─────────────────────────────────────────────

3. HOW THE EXTENSION WORKS

─────────────────────────────────────────────

When you click the Email Radar toolbar icon on a webpage:

1. The Extension scans the visible text content of that page locally,

   inside your browser.

2. Any email addresses found are displayed in the side panel.

3. This data exists only in your browser's memory (RAM) while the panel 

   is open.

4. When you close the panel or navigate away, all extracted data is 

   immediately discarded.

5. Nothing is written to disk, synced to the cloud, or transmitted 

   over a network.

All processing happens entirely on your device. The Extension makes zero 

network requests of any kind.

─────────────────────────────────────────────

4. PERMISSIONS USED AND WHY

─────────────────────────────────────────────

activeTab

  Allows the Extension to read the text content of the tab you are 

  currently viewing. Used solely to scan for email addresses on the 

  active page. No data from the tab is stored or transmitted.

scripting

  Allows the Extension to inject the extraction script into tabs that 

  were open before the Extension was installed. Used only when you 

  click the toolbar icon. No code is injected without user action.

Access to all websites (<all_urls>)

  Email addresses can appear on any website. This permission allows 

  the Extension to work on any page you choose to scan. The Extension 

  does not run automatically on websites — it only activates when you 

  click the toolbar icon.

─────────────────────────────────────────────

5. DATA SHARING

─────────────────────────────────────────────

Email Radar does not share any data with any third party because no 

data is collected in the first place. There are no:

• Advertisers

• Analytics providers

• Data brokers

• Remote servers of any kind

─────────────────────────────────────────────

6. DATA STORAGE

─────────────────────────────────────────────

The Extension does not use chrome.storage, localStorage, IndexedDB, 

cookies, or any other persistence mechanism. All state is held in 

memory only and is lost when the panel is closed or the browser tab 

is navigated away from.

─────────────────────────────────────────────

7. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

─────────────────────────────────────────────

Email Radar does not target children and does not knowingly collect 

any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

─────────────────────────────────────────────

8. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

─────────────────────────────────────────────

If this Privacy Policy is updated, the "Last updated" date at the top 

of this page will be revised. Continued use of the Extension after any 

changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

─────────────────────────────────────────────

9. CONTACT

─────────────────────────────────────────────

This extension is built with Manifest V3, vanilla JavaScript, and zero 

external dependencies. Source code is available for review upon request.
