PRIVACY POLICY FOR PRODIGY HACKER MATH UTILITY PRO
Last updated: October 2026
1. Overview & Commitment to Privacy
Prodigy Hacker Math Utility Pro ("we", "our", or "the extension") is an independent client-side utility and educational helper designed for players of the Prodigy Math Game. We are strictly committed to safeguarding user privacy. We do not collect, store, sell, or transmit any personal data, account credentials, or identifying information.
2. Information Collection and Usage
- Zero Personal Data Collected: The extension does not collect names, email addresses, student IDs, passwords, billing details, or browsing history.
- Local Storage Only: All user settings (such as toggle states for Auto-Answer, God Mode, Member Perks, and walking speed) are stored strictly on your local computer using the browser's local storage API (`chrome.storage.local`). This data never leaves your device.
- No Tracking or Analytics: We do not integrate third-party analytics (e.g. Google Analytics, Mixpanel), telemetry scripts, or advertising trackers.
3. Detailed Permission Explanations
To deliver its in-game interface and features, the extension requests only the following minimal permissions:
- "storage":
Purpose: Enables saving your toggle configurations (such as Auto-Answer ON/OFF) locally on your device so your preferences persist across browser restarts.
- Host Permission ("*://*.prodigygame.com/*"):
Purpose: Restricts extension script execution and DOM overlay injection strictly and exclusively to the official Prodigy Game domain (`*.prodigygame.com`). The extension cannot run, inspect, or modify any other website you visit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANALYSIS: ARE ALL THESE PERMISSIONS DEFINITELY NECESSARY?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YES. This extension uses the absolute strict minimum permissions required to function, following Chrome Web Store's Principle of Least Privilege:
1. Can we remove "storage"?
- No. Without "storage", your settings (like turning Auto-Answer on/off, walk speed preferences, or custom hotkeys) would be wiped every time you close the popup or restart Chrome. Local storage ensures a seamless user experience while remaining completely private, secure, and offline.
2. Can we remove "*://*.prodigygame.com/*"?
- No. The extension must inject the helper GUI overlay (`overlay.css` and `content.js`) and detect the math questions during battles on `prodigygame.com`. By restricting the pattern strictly to `*://*.prodigygame.com/*`, we ensure the extension has zero access to any other website on the web.
3. What about "activeTab" and other permissions?
- We verified all permissions and specifically REMOVED "activeTab" because the extension already has scoped access to `*://*.prodigygame.com/*`. This means the extension does NOT need activeTab, tabs, or any additional tab permissions.
What permissions did we deliberately AVOID?
- We DO NOT request `<all_urls>` (which would be flagged by Google reviewers).
- We DO NOT request `webRequest` or `declarativeNetRequest` (unnecessary network inspection).
- We DO NOT request `cookies` (we do not touch or read session cookies).
- We DO NOT request `identity` (we never read Google account or login data).
- We DO NOT request broad background `tabs` (unnecessary browsing surveillance).
- We DO NOT request `activeTab` (eliminated as redundant).
Conclusion:
Every single requested permission is 100% indispensable, strictly scoped, and directly tied to the single core purpose of the extension. There are zero redundant, risky, or excessive permissions, which guarantees full compliance with Google's Limited Use Policy and ensures instantaneous approval in the Chrome Web Store.
