TrafficGlance Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11/18/2024

Introduction

TrafficGlance ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Chrome extension.

Information We Collect

We collect the following information when you use our Extension:

• Active Tab URL: We access the URL of the active tab only when you click on our extension icon. This is necessary to provide you with traffic statistics for the website you're currently viewing.
• Aggregated Website Statistics: We access publicly available, aggregated traffic data for the websites you request information about. This data does not contain any personally identifiable information.

We do not collect any Personal Information that can be used to identify you personally.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for the purpose of:

• Providing you with website traffic statistics and related metrics for the specific site you request.
• Improving the functionality and performance of our extension.

We do not use this data for any other purpose, including tracking users across websites or over time.

Data Storage and Security

We do not store any personal information, browsing history, or accessed URLs on our servers. All data processing occurs locally within your browser. The URL of the active tab is only used momentarily to fetch traffic data and is not retained beyond this immediate use.

Third-Party Services and Remote Code

Our extension uses Google's web cache to access publicly available, aggregated website statistics. We do not execute any external code, but we do fetch and process external data to provide our service. This approach allows us to offer up-to-date traffic estimates while respecting website owners' rights and users' privacy.

Permissions

Our extension requires the following permissions:

• tabs and activeTab: To access the URL of the current tab when you activate our extension.
• host permissions: To fetch publicly cached web pages containing aggregated traffic data.

These permissions are used solely for the purpose of providing traffic statistics for the website you're viewing.

Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any information with third parties for their commercial purposes.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the data we have about you (note that we don't store any personal data).
• Request correction of any inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Opt-out of data collection by uninstalling the extension.

Children's Privacy

Our extension is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

International Data Transfers

As we do not store or transfer any personal data, there are no international data transfers associated with our service.

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.
