Privacy Policy for The Rendering Difference Engine

The Gray Dot Company built The Rendering Engine Chrome extension as a commercial extension. This SERVICE is provided by The Gray Dot Company and is intended for use as is.

This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of information if anyone decides to use our Service.

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The information that we process is used solely for providing and improving the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal or sensitive information from users.

The extension processes URLs and corresponding pre- and post-browser rendered data for display purposes when a user clicks the extension icon. This data is handled locally on your device, is never transmitted to The Gray Dot Company or any third party, and is discarded immediately when the extension popup is closed.

Data Retention

We do not retain any data.

When the "Highlight Media" or "Highlight Links" functionality is used, the data is stored locally until the browser page is closed.

All remaining data processed by the extension is temporary and is cleared as soon as the popup closes. No information is stored by The Gray Dot Company or any third parties.

Browser Permissions

The extension requires certain Chrome permissions (such as activeTab) to function as intended. These permissions are used exclusively to provide the described functionality and do not result in any data collection, storage, or transmission.

Third-Party Libraries

This extension includes third-party open source JavaScript libraries that are fully bundled within the extension package. No external code is loaded or executed remotely at runtime. To the best of our knowledge, these bundled libraries do not collect, transmit, or store any user data. We periodically review and update these libraries to ensure continued security and privacy.

Log Data

There may be log entries such as crash reports related to The Rendering Engine. We do not collect, share, or review these logs.

Security

Your privacy is important to us. The extension does not store any data on your device, nor does it send data via any network. All processing occurs locally within your browser.

Legal Compliance

Although we do not collect or store personal data, we strive to comply with all applicable privacy regulations, including but not limited to the GDPR and CCPA.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted.
