Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026 · Version 1.0

The Short Version

Font Detector does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. Everything the extension does stays entirely on your device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking.

Data Collected

Font Detector collects no personal data whatsoever. The extension does not collect:

Names, email addresses, or any identifying information
Browsing history or visited URLs
Page content, text content, or screenshots
IP addresses or location data
Analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics

What Is Stored Locally

Font Detector uses chrome.storage.local to save a small amount of data on your device only. This data never leaves your browser.

Key	What it stores	Why
`pickerEnabled`	Boolean — whether the font picker is active	Preserves picker state across popup open/close
`lastInspectedFont`	Font metadata: family name, size, weight, style, line height, color hex	Shows your last inspected font in the "Last Inspected" panel when you reopen the popup

The lastInspectedFont entry stores only computed CSS typography values (e.g., "Inter", 16px, 400, normal, #1a1d27). It does not store any page content, the URL of the page you were on, or any other context.

Data Transmission

Font Detector makes zero network requests. The extension has no backend, no API calls, and communicates with no external servers — including servers operated by the developer.

No data is sent to Patrick Bushe or bushe.co
No data is sent to Google, Adobe, or any font service
No third-party analytics SDKs are included
No crash reporting services are used

Permissions Explained

Font Detector requests only the permissions required for its core functionality:

storage — stores the last inspected font locally on your device (see above)
tabs — identifies the currently active tab to send font inspection commands to the correct page
activeTab — accesses the active tab when you click the extension icon, enabling font inspection on that page
host_permissions (<all_urls>) — allows the content script to run on any webpage you choose to inspect fonts on; the extension has no functionality without this access

Third-Party Services

Font Detector does not integrate with, report to, or share data with any third-party services. There are no embedded SDKs, ad networks, analytics platforms, or external APIs.

Children's Privacy

Font Detector does not collect any data from users of any age. The extension is fully compliant with COPPA and similar regulations by virtue of collecting no data at all.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy is updated, the new version will be published at this URL with a revised "Last updated" date. Significant changes will also be noted in the Chrome Web Store listing update notes.
