Real Page Source is a Chrome browser extension that allows users to view the fully rendered source code of any webpage. This privacy policy explains how the extension handles user data.
Data Collection
Real Page Source does NOT collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data or browsing data. The extension operates entirely within your local browser.
Specifically:
- No personal information is collected (name, email, account details, etc.)
- No browsing history is tracked or recorded
- No webpage content is sent to any external server
- No analytics or tracking tools are used
- No cookies are set by the extension
- No user accounts or sign-ups are required
How the Extension Works
When you activate the extension by clicking the toolbar button or using the right-click context menu, it captures the current webpage's rendered DOM (HTML), CSS stylesheets, and JavaScript sources. This data is temporarily held in the browser's local memory solely to display it in a new viewer tab. The captured data is automatically discarded after it is displayed.
Local Storage
The only data stored locally by the extension is your display theme preference (dark mode or light mode). This preference is saved using Chrome's local storage API (chrome.storage.local) and never leaves your browser.
No permission is used to monitor, track, or collect user data.
Third-Party Services
Real Page Source does not communicate with any third-party services, APIs, or servers. All processing happens locally within your browser.
Open Source Libraries
The extension bundles Prism.js (https://prismjs.com) locally for syntax highlighting. This library runs entirely within your browser and makes no external network requests.
Changes to This Policy
If this privacy policy is updated, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
