PRIVACY POLICY FOR NITRO TYPE MOD MENU
Effective Date: October 25, 2026
Last Updated: October 25, 2026
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1. OVERVIEW & COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Nitro Type Mod Menu ("the Extension") is dedicated to protecting your privacy and security. We believe that browser extensions should be transparent, lightweight, and respectful of user data.
This extension operates entirely client-side. We DO NOT collect, store, sell, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII), browsing history, Nitro Type passwords, authentication tokens, payment details, or personal telemetry.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2. WHAT INFORMATION WE PROCESS & HOW IT IS USED
-------------------------------------------------------------------
• Local Preferences & Configuration:
The extension stores your UI customization preferences (such as your chosen race theme color, target WPM, font selection, mini-map position, and garage section visibility) strictly on your local computer using the browser's local storage and Chrome storage API. This data never leaves your device.
• No Account Access:
The extension does not intercept or transmit your Nitro Type account credentials, email, or chat messages.
• External Requests:
If you enable update checking for companion community scripts, the extension may perform a standard HTTP GET request to check public version numbers from GreasyFork (https://greasyfork.org). This request transmits no personal data or identifiers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
3. PERMISSION BREAKDOWN & WHY THEY ARE NEEDED
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The extension requests only two minimal permissions:
1. Host Permission ("https://www.nitrotype.com/*"):
• Purpose: Allows the extension's content script to inject the Mod Menu settings interface directly at https://www.nitrotype.com/settings/mods and insert the "Mods" navigation link into the account header dropdown.
• Scope: This permission is strictly constrained to the Nitro Type domain. The extension cannot see, access, read, or interact with any other websites you visit.
2. Storage Permission ("storage"):
• Purpose: Allows the extension popup and background worker to persist your preferences, tab order, and feature states across browser sessions.
• Scope: Storage is sandboxed to the extension itself on your local hard drive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
4. ARE ALL THESE PERMISSIONS STRICTLY NECESSARY?
(LEAST PRIVILEGE COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
YES. Every single permission requested by Nitro Type Mod Menu is strictly necessary for its stated single purpose, and the extension adheres strictly to Google's Principle of Least Privilege:
• Why Host Access to "https://www.nitrotype.com/*" cannot be removed:
Without host access to Nitro Type, the extension would not have permission to inject the mod menu shell, render the custom themes, or display the pacing assistant on the race track. It is scoped exclusively to Nitro Type rather than using wildcard access.
• Why "storage" is necessary:
Without storage permission, every time you close your browser or popup, your customized pacing thresholds, custom font selections, and theme color choices would be wiped out.
• Deliberately Excluded Permissions (What we DO NOT request):
- NO "<all_urls>" or "*://*/*": The extension cannot touch any website outside nitrotype.com.
- NO "cookies": We never touch your authentication or session cookies.
- NO "webRequest" / "declarativeNetRequest": We do not monitor, intercept, or reroute your network traffic.
- NO "identity": We do not request your Google identity or email.
- NO "tabs" broad permission: The popup only interacts with the active tab or opens specific Nitro Type navigation links without scanning your open tabs.
- NO "management": We do not inspect or manage other installed extensions.
By stripping out all non-essential permissions, the extension guarantees maximum security, full compliance with Chrome Web Store policies, and complete peace of mind for racers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5. DATA RETENTION & SECURITY
-------------------------------------------------------------------
All configuration data resides locally on your browser. Uninstalling the extension or clearing your browser's site data automatically removes all stored settings immediately.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
6. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If updates are made to the extension that alter permission requirements or feature sets, this policy will be revised accordingly with an updated effective date.
