🔒 Privacy Policy

Introduction

DevDocs Generator ("we", "our", or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension handles information when you use it.

Information Collection and Use

What We Do NOT Collect

What Happens Locally

1. Page Analysis: When you click "Analyze", the extension examines the current webpage's structure, scripts, and network requests locally in your browser.
2. Local Storage: Analysis results are stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API:
   • Maximum of 50 analyses are retained
   • Older analyses are automatically deleted
   • You can manually clear all data at any time from the extension settings
3. No External Communication: The extension does not make any network requests to external servers. All functionality is self-contained.
