# Privacy Policy for MOOLA Extension
*Last updated: 2024-10-27*
## Overview
MOOLA is a browser extension designed to assist web developers and designers by providing tools for DOM element inspection and analysis. This privacy policy explains how the extension handles information.
## Information Collection and Use
MOOLA is designed with privacy in mind and operates entirely locally within your browser.
### What We Don't Collect
- Personal information
- Browsing history
- Website content
- User credentials
- Any form of analytics data
### What We Do Access
The extension accesses:
- DOM elements of webpages you actively inspect (activated by clicking the extension's toolbar icon and selecting an element, or by using the context menu).
- Style information (CSS properties) of webpage elements.
- The structural relationships between DOM elements (parent/child, siblings) on the current webpage.
This access is:
- Only active when you explicitly use the inspection tools (as described above).
- Limited to the current tab you're working on.
- Processed entirely within your browser.
- Never transmitted or stored externally.
## Data Storage
### Local Storage
- User preferences (such as highlight colors and opacity settings)
- Tool configuration settings
All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API. Data stored using Chrome's storage API is encrypted at rest.
## Permissions
MOOLA requires several browser permissions to function:
1. **activeTab**
- Purpose: To analyze DOM elements on the current webpage.
- Scope: Access to the current tab is requested *only at the moment you activate the inspection tools* and is not maintained afterward.
2. **contextMenus**
- Purpose: To provide right-click menu options for quick access to inspection features.
- Scope: Browser context menu only.
3. **scripting**
- Purpose: To *programmatically interact with and extract information about* page elements, and to create visual overlays (such as highlighting inspected elements).
- Scope: Limited to the active tab during inspection.
4. **storage**
- Purpose: To save user preferences locally.
- Scope: Extension-specific storage only.
## Data Security
- All processing occurs locally in your browser.
- No external servers are contacted.
- No data is transmitted outside your browser.
- No personal information is collected or stored.
- Data stored using Chrome's storage API is encrypted at rest.
## Third-Party Services
MOOLA does not:
- Use any third-party services.
- Share data with any external parties.
- Include any tracking or analytics tools.
## Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We may also display a notification within the extension's options page after significant updates.
## Children's Privacy
MOOLA does not collect *any* personal information from *anyone*, including children under 13 years of age.
## Your Rights
Since MOOLA does not collect any personal data, there is no personal information stored that would be subject to access, modification, or deletion requests. You can, however, manage and delete all locally stored extension data (preferences, settings) through your browser's extension management interface.
## Compliance
While MOOLA does not collect any personal information, and therefore many provisions of GDPR and CCPA do not directly apply, this extension is designed and operated in a manner consistent with the principles of these regulations.
