Effective Date: October 2024

Introduction

At "disruptive.harmony.online”, we value and respect your privacy. "disruptive.harmony.online” is a Google Chrome browser extension that creates visual effects based on tab activity, allows users to download screenshots, and offers a reset functionality. This privacy policy outlines the data we collect, how it is used, stored, and safeguarded, and your rights as users. By using our Chrome extension, you agree to the terms outlined below. This extension is committed to ensuring compliance with all applicable privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data Collection

Our extension operates entirely on your local machine. It does not collect, transmit, or process any personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive data or browsing history to external servers or third parties. Here are the types of data the extension handles:

• Local Device Data: The extension interacts with your browser's active tabs to manipulate visuals and generate screenshots of canvas-based content. This is purely local data processing and is not stored or transmitted outside of your device.
• Storage API Usage: The extension leverages Chrome’s local storage to retain user preferences (such as visual and animation settings) and state of the canvas. This data is not transmitted externally and is only accessible within the local environment of your browser.

Purpose of Data Usage

• Tab Interaction: The extension requires permission to interact with your browser tabs to manage visuals, reset features, and download screenshots. This interaction is strictly confined to the functionality within the extension and is necessary for its core features.
• Screenshot Functionality: Screenshots of the canvas are generated and downloaded locally to your device. No images are shared with external servers or third parties.
• No Remote Code Execution: The extension does not execute any code from remote servers. All code execution occurs within the browser's local environment.

Permissions and Justifications

The extension uses the following permissions to operate:

• activeTab Permission: This permission allows the extension to interact with the currently active tab, manipulate visuals, and trigger actions such as canvas resets and screenshots.
• tabs Permission: This permission allows the extension to access information about open tabs, which is necessary for determining when to manipulate visuals based on the number of open tabs.
• storage Permission: This permission enables the extension to store user preferences and settings locally within Chrome's storage API.
• scripting Permission: This permission allows the extension to execute scripts that manipulate the visual and interactive elements of the web page the user is currently viewing.

Data Retention and Storage

The data handled by the extension is stored locally within the user's browser via Chrome’s local storage API. This includes user preferences related to the visual configuration and state of the canvas. The extension does not retain any data beyond this and does not communicate with any external servers.

Screenshot Feature

This extension includes a feature that allows users to download screenshots of the visual effects generated within the active tab. These screenshots are saved locally on your device. No data related to these screenshots is transmitted or stored externally.

Reset Functionality

The extension offers an optional reset functionality, which can be enabled or disabled locally by the user. This feature does not interact with any external systems and operates entirely within the browser.

User Rights

You have the right to:

• Opt-out of the extension at any time by uninstalling it from your browser.
• Access and delete your data by removing the extension, which clears all locally stored data.
• File complaints with your local data protection authority if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.

Security Measures

Since this extension operates entirely locally and does not transmit data, there is no risk of personal data exposure. All functionalities, including screenshot saving and auto-reset, are handled directly on your device.

Amendments

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page and will be reflected in the policy link on the extension’s page, and we encourage users to review it periodically to stay informed of any updates.
