PRIVACY POLICY & PERMISSION DECLARATION
Extension: Kahoot Auto Answer Pro - Smart Quiz Bot
Last Updated: October 2026
====================================================
1. OUR CORE PRIVACY COMMITMENT
====================================================
Kahoot Auto Answer Pro is built with a strict "Privacy by Design" architecture. We strongly believe that browser extensions should perform their intended functions locally without collecting, tracking, monetizing, or transmitting personal user data.
• ZERO Personal Data Collection: We do not collect names, email addresses, IP addresses, browsing history, or identifiers.
• ZERO External Servers: The extension does not communicate with external analytics servers, tracking endpoints, or advertising networks.
• ZERO Account Creation: No sign-up, login, or subscriptions are required to use this extension.
• 100% Client-Side Execution: All quiz detection, timing calculations, and answer selections execute exclusively within your local browser sandbox.
====================================================
2. DETAILED EXPLANATION OF REQUESTED PERMISSIONS
====================================================
Chrome extensions require explicit user permissions to interact with browser APIs and specific websites. Below is an exhaustive breakdown of why each permission is utilized:
A) "storage" Permission
• Purpose:
Enables the extension to use Chrome's local storage API (chrome.storage.local).
• Why it is required:
This permission allows the extension to remember your customized configuration across browser sessions, including:
- Your preferred operating mode ("Auto Click" vs "Stealth Highlight").
- Your response time delay slider value (e.g., 1.5 seconds) and human jitter preference.
- Your target accuracy percentage (e.g., 90% or 100%).
- Your on-screen HUD visibility and sound cue toggles.
- Your gameplay statistics (questions answered, correct answers, streak count).
• Data Location:
All stored preferences remain strictly on your local computer hard drive. If you uninstall the extension, this local storage data is immediately deleted by Chrome.
B) Host Permission: "https://kahoot.it/*"
• Purpose:
Authorizes the extension's content script (content.js and content.css) to interact solely with the official Kahoot game interface.
• Why it is required:
This permission is essential for the core functionality of the extension:
- Detecting when a new question screen appears in a live Kahoot game.
- Injecting the visual floating HUD status overlay for real-time game feedback.
- Applying visual styling (glowing borders) to highlight candidate choices in Stealth Mode.
- Simulating user click events on answer buttons when Auto Click Mode is active.
• Scope:
This permission is strictly scoped to "https://kahoot.it/*". The extension CANNOT read, access, or modify any other tabs, websites, search queries, or browsing history.
====================================================
3. ARE ALL THESE PERMISSIONS DEFINITELY NECESSARY?
====================================================
YES. Both requested permissions are strictly necessary, fully justified, and represent the absolute minimum privileges required to deliver the extension's advertised capabilities.
Under the Google Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, extensions must adhere to the "Principle of Least Privilege" (requesting only the lowest permissions needed to implement core features). Here is why our implementation strictly complies:
1. Could we remove the "storage" permission?
No. Without the "storage" permission, your custom delay settings, accuracy calibration, and streak counters would be wiped out every time you close the popup or navigate away from the page, causing immense frustration.
2. Could we remove the "https://kahoot.it/*" host permission?
No. Without host permission for kahoot.it, Chrome will completely block the extension from inspecting the quiz DOM, highlighting answer buttons, or displaying the in-game HUD.
3. What permissions did we intentionally EXCLUDE to protect your privacy?
We deliberately avoided all invasive permissions, such as:
- NO "<all_urls>" or broad web access: We cannot view any websites outside kahoot.it.
- NO "cookies" permission: We cannot read or modify cookies or session tokens.
- NO "webRequest" permission: We cannot intercept or log network traffic.
- NO "tabs" or "activeTab" permissions: We do not track open tabs or URLs.
- NO "identity" permission: We do not access your Google account information.
- NO "management" or "downloads" permissions: We cannot see other extensions or download files.
Therefore, the permissions requested are 100% minimal, safe, and tailored strictly to the single purpose of enhancing your Kahoot quiz experience.
====================================================
4. THIRD-PARTY DATA DISCLOSURE
====================================================
We declare that:
• User data is NEVER sold to third parties under any circumstances.
• User data is NEVER used or transferred for purposes unrelated to the extension's single purpose.
• User data is NEVER used to determine creditworthiness or for marketing, advertising, or lending purposes.
