Privacy Policy

RankSnap SEO Inspector

Effective Date: November 2026

1. Information We Do Not Collect

RankSnap is built with a strict privacy-first architecture. When you install and use the extension, we do not collect:

• No Personally Identifiable Information (PII): No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or account credentials.
• No Browsing History: We do not log the URLs you visit, the frequency of your visits, or your search history.
• No Keystrokes or Form Data: The extension does not read input fields, passwords, or submitted form content.
• No Analytics or Tracking Cookies: We do not use third-party user tracking, telemetry, or analytics beacons.

2. How the Extension Operates

All core analysis functions execute exclusively on the client side inside your active browser session:

• DOM Analysis: When you open the extension popup, the tool parses on-page metadata (e.g., Title, Meta Description, Canonical URL, OpenGraph tags, and Heading tags H1–H6).
• Structured Data Validation: The extension scans for schema markup (JSON-LD) in the DOM to validate syntax and schema types locally.
• Performance Benchmarks: Web vitals metrics (such as LCP and CLS) are read in real time using the browser's native PerformanceObserver API on the active document.

3. Chrome Permissions & Justifications

RankSnap requests only minimal, essential permissions strictly required to provide its utility:

• activeTab: Grants temporary read access to the currently focused tab's DOM only when you explicitly click the extension icon. It never accesses background or unopened tabs.
• storage: Used solely to save local user interface preferences (such as theme choice) directly on your device via chrome.storage.local.
• scripting: Executes local helper scripts within the active tab to inspect document structure and retrieve performance metrics on demand.

4. Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

RankSnap does not share, transmit, or monetize personal user data with any third party. The extension does not communicate with external analytics servers, data brokers, or advertising networks.

5. Limited Use Compliance

RankSnap adheres strictly to the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, including the Single Purpose and Limited Use requirements.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect operational or regulatory adjustments. Any revisions will be published directly to this page with an updated effective date.
