This policy applies to the RegexFind Chrome extension.

Extension Purpose

The sole purpose of this extension is to enhance the browser’s default in-page search functionality by enabling regular expression–based searching. The extension operates only when explicitly triggered by the user and performs all processing locally within the browser.

Data Usage & Privacy Statement

• All search processing and regular expression matching are performed locally.
• No page content, search queries, or user data are transmitted to any remote server.
• The extension does not use remote APIs.
• The extension does not track users, collect analytics, or serve advertisements.
• Any stored data is limited to user preferences and is saved locally.

Permissions Overview

activeTab

Purpose: Temporarily access the currently active tab after you explicitly trigger the extension.

Justification: Allows the extension to read visible page content in the active tab to perform enhanced search and regex matching. Access is limited in scope and duration and is only granted as a result of direct user interaction.

host_permissions

Purpose: Run content scripts on supported web pages.

Justification: Requires access to web page content to enhance in-page search using regular expressions. Scripts run only on pages where you actively use the extension. No page data is collected, stored remotely, or transmitted outside the browser.

scripting

Purpose: Inject content scripts at runtime after user interaction.

Justification: Required to inject search-related scripts into the current page after you trigger the extension. These scripts highlight matches and apply advanced search logic directly within the page. Scripts are not injected automatically or without user intent.

storage

Purpose: Save user preferences locally.

Justification: Stores local settings such as search options and regex preferences. All data is stored locally in the browser and is never shared or transmitted.

Remote Code Use

This extension does not download, load, or execute remote code. All JavaScript, styles, and logic are bundled with the extension package at publish time.

Compliance Confirmation
