DOMinator SEO — Privacy Policy
In short: DOMinator SEO reads the content of the page you choose to inspect, entirely inside your browser, and does not collect, store, transmit, or share it. There are no servers, no analytics, and no third parties.
What the extension does
DOMinator SEO is an SEO inspection tool. When you click its toolbar icon, it reads the SEO-relevant markup of the page you are currently viewing and displays it in the extension popup — the title tag, meta description, canonical URL, meta robots, heading structure, word count, link inventory, JSON-LD structured data, hreflang tags, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags, document language, viewport, and character set.
What data the extension accesses
Website content. To produce its report, the extension reads the markup and text of the page you are inspecting — including its address, title, meta tags, headings, visible text, hyperlinks, and structured data. This is the only category of data the extension touches.
This information is processed locally, in the memory of the extension popup, purely to display the report back to you. It is never collected, recorded, stored, sold, shared, or transmitted anywhere.
Data we collect
None. Reading a page to show you its report is not the same as collecting it: nothing is retained after the popup closes, and nothing ever leaves your browser.
Specifically, DOMinator SEO does not:
- Send any data over the network. The extension makes no network requests of any kind.
- Store anything on your device or elsewhere. It uses no browser storage, no cookies, and no local database.
- Use analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, advertising, or tracking of any kind.
- Share data with any third party, because it never collects data in the first place.
- Require an account, a login, or any personal information.
- Load or run any code from outside the extension package.
How page data is handled
To show you a report, the extension reads the content of the page you are inspecting. That information exists only in the memory of the extension popup while the popup is open, and is discarded the moment you close it. It is never written to disk and never leaves your browser.
The extension only reads a page after you explicitly click its toolbar icon, and only the single tab you are viewing at that moment.
Permissions and why they are needed
activeTab— grants temporary access to the one tab you are currently viewing, and only after you click the extension icon. Reading that page is the entire purpose of the extension. The extension requests no host permissions, so it has no standing access to any website.scripting— allows the extension to run its own bundled, read-only functions in that tab to gather the SEO information shown in the popup. These functions are included in the extension package; nothing is downloaded or evaluated at runtime.
Actions you initiate
- Copy buttons. When you click a copy button, the selected value is written to your system clipboard. This happens locally on your device and is not recorded by the extension.
- Highlighting. When you click a heading or link in the results, the extension briefly scrolls that element into view and highlights it on the page. If the element is hidden, it is temporarily revealed and then restored. These changes are visual, temporary, and are never saved to the page or anywhere else.
Limited use disclosure
DOMinator SEO's use of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The website content the extension reads is used solely to provide the SEO report shown in the extension's own interface, which is its single purpose. That data is never transferred to any third party, is never used for advertising of any kind, including personalised, re-targeted, or interest-based advertising, is never used to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes, and is never read by any human, because it never leaves your device.
Children
DOMinator SEO is a professional tool that is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a revised "last updated" date. If a future version of the extension ever begins handling data differently, this policy will be updated before that version is released.
