Privacy Policy

Thank you for choosing JSON Diff Master, a Chrome extension designed to compare and analyze differences between JSON documents and text files. Your privacy is important to us, and this Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our extension.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

JSON Diff Master is designed with privacy as a core principle. We want to assure you that:

  • We do not collect any personal information
  • We do not collect, store, or transmit your JSON data or text content
  • We do not track your browsing history or online activities
  • We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies
  • We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any data to third parties

2. How JSON Diff Master Works

JSON Diff Master operates entirely locally within your Chrome browser:

  • All JSON and text comparison operations happen on your device
  • No data is sent to external servers for processing
  • Your comparison data never leaves your browser

Privacy First: Your JSON and text data remains exclusively on your computer. We have no access to your data, and we don't want it.

3. Permissions Explanation

JSON Diff Master requires certain permissions to function properly:

  • Storage Permission: We use Chrome's local storage API to save your preferences (like theme selection and default settings) locally on your device. This data never leaves your computer.
  • ActiveTab Permission: This permission allows the extension to interact with the current tab when you activate it. We use this to extract JSON data from web pages only when you explicitly request it.
  • Host Permissions: If you choose to load JSON from a URL, we need permission to fetch that data. The content is loaded directly into your browser and is not intercepted or stored by us.

4. Data Storage

JSON Diff Master stores minimal information locally on your device:

  • User preferences (theme, layout options, etc.)
  • Recently compared files (optional, if you enable this feature)

All stored data remains on your device and is not accessible to us or any third parties.

5. Third-Party Services

JSON Diff Master does not use any third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising services. We do not integrate with any services that would collect your data.

6. Children's Privacy

Our extension is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

8. Your Consent

By using JSON Diff Master, you consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
