This privacy policy describes how the A11yChecks – Accessibility Checker Chrome extension (“the Extension”, “we”, “our”) handles information when you install and use it in your browser.
1. Overview
A11yChecks – Accessibility Checker is a developer tool that runs automated accessibility audits on the web page you are currently viewing. The Extension is designed with privacy in mind and operates entirely on your device.
We do not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data or browsing data.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
The Extension does not collect or access any of the following:
- Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other contact details
- Account credentials or authentication information
- Payment or financial information
- Browsing history across sites or over time
- Form inputs, typed text, or user-generated content
- Cookies, local storage, or session storage data
- IP address, device identifiers, or location data
- Analytics, usage statistics, or tracking identifiers
3. How the Extension Works
When you click the A11yChecks browser action icon, the Extension temporarily injects locally packaged scripts into the current tab in order to analyze the page for accessibility issues.
- The analysis is performed entirely within your browser.
- Results are displayed in an on-page side panel for you to review.
- No audit results or page content are sent to any remote server.
The Extension uses the following minimal Chrome permissions:
-
activeTab– allows the Extension to run on the tab you explicitly activate by clicking the extension icon. -
scripting– allows the Extension to inject the accessibility engine and the user interface into the current page.
These permissions are used only to perform the accessibility check you request.
4. No Data Transmission or Third-Party Sharing
The Extension does not send any data off your device. We do not use external APIs, remote logging, analytics services, or advertising networks within the Extension.
As a result:
- No personal data is shared with third parties.
- No data is sold or rented to advertisers or data brokers.
- No information is used for profiling, marketing, or cross-site tracking.
5. Children’s Privacy
The Extension is a technical tool intended for developers and site owners. It does not collect any data and does not include features directed at children.
6. Security
Because the Extension does not transmit or persist user data, the security risk related to data exposure is very low. All logic runs inside Chrome’s extension sandbox and on the user’s local machine.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect improvements to the Extension or changes in applicable laws. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Extension after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
