Privacy policy

Last updated 28 August 2026

AuditLint collects no personal data. The extensions analyse pages entirely inside your browser. There is no server to send anything to, no account to create, and no analytics of any kind.

What the extensions do not do

• They do not transmit the pages you scan, their URLs, or the results.
• They do not contain analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or advertising.
• They make no network requests at all while scanning or producing a report. The source is checked automatically on every change to confirm it contains no code capable of making one.
• They do not read your browsing history, bookmarks, or activity in other tabs.

What is stored, and where

The following are held in your browser's local extension storage. They never leave your device, and they are removed when you uninstall the extension.

• A daily scan counter — a date and a number, so the free tier's five-scans-a-day limit works.
• Your licence key, if you buy the paid version. It is checked offline against a key built into the extension; validating it involves no network request.
• Your last-used colours and tab in the colour checker, so it opens where you left it.

Permissions, and why each exists

• activeTab — lets the scanner read the page in the tab you are looking at, and only from the moment you click the extension's icon. It grants no access to any other tab, and expires. This is why the extension has no “read your data on all websites” warning.
• storage — for the three items listed above.
• scripting — to place the scanner into the tab when you click. Carries no access of its own.

The extensions request no host permissions whatsoever.

Buying the paid version

Purchases are handled by an external payment provider acting as merchant of record. Your payment details are given to them and never to us; we receive an order reference and the email you used, in order to send your licence key and answer support requests. That provider has its own privacy policy, which governs what it collects at checkout.

Contacting us

If you email hello@auditlint.com we keep that correspondence in order to reply to you, and for as long as needed to support the product. Nothing else.

You can ask what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, at the same address. In practice this is limited to your email correspondence and, if you have bought a licence, your order record.

Children

These are professional developer tools. They are not directed at children, and they collect nothing from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Any change that affected what the extensions collect would be described here explicitly — but collecting nothing is a design decision the product is built around, not a setting.
