Privacy Policy
Summary & Core Promise
License Detector never collects, stores, or transmits any personal data.
License Detector is a developer-focused Chrome extension that scans web pages to identify open-source JavaScript libraries and analyze their licenses. All scanning and analysis happens entirely within your browser — no data is ever sent to external servers.
What Data Is Processed
When activated on a web page, the extension inspects the page's loaded JavaScript resources to detect:
- Library Names & Versions — Identifies open-source JavaScript libraries present on the current page.
- License Types — Detects the license (MIT, Apache 2.0, GPL, etc.) associated with each library.
- Compatibility Analysis — Flags potential license conflicts for project compliance.
This analysis is performed locally in your browser tab. The extension does not access, read, or store your browsing history, personal information, or any data beyond the JavaScript resources loaded on the active page.
Local-Only Architecture
License Detector operates with a zero-network architecture:
- All detection logic runs inside your browser using the extension's bundled code.
- No scan results, page URLs, or library data are transmitted to any remote server.
- The extension does not maintain any cloud database, analytics backend, or user accounts.
Scan results exist only within the active browser session and are discarded when you navigate away or close the tab.
Extension Permissions & Justification
License Detector requests only the minimal permissions required for its core functionality:
activeTab— Required to inspect the currently active tab's JavaScript resources when the user clicks the extension icon.scripting— Required to inject the content script that analyzes loaded libraries on the current page.
The extension does not request broad host permissions, tabs, history, cookies, or any other sensitive permissions.
Zero Third-Party Analytics & Remote Code
License Detector contains no third-party tracking scripts, ad networks, or external analytics SDKs (such as Google Analytics or Mixpanel).
In accordance with Chrome Web Store policy, all executable scripts are packaged directly inside the extension. There is no remote code execution (eval() or dynamic CDN scripts).
Data Control & Deletion
Since License Detector does not persist any data beyond the current browser session:
- No data to delete — Scan results are ephemeral and exist only while the popup/panel is open.
- Uninstallation — Removing the extension from Chrome permanently removes all extension files and any temporary session data.
Children's Privacy
License Detector does not collect personal data from anyone, including children under 13. Because all operations run on-device without remote servers, the extension complies fully with COPPA and global privacy standards.
