Overview

PixelPeek is a Chrome browser extension that provides a visual CSS inspector overlay on any webpage. This policy explains what data we collect (and don't collect), and how we handle your information.

Data Collection

PixelPeek collects no personal data.

Data Processed Locally

The following data is processed entirely within your browser and is never transmitted externally:

Data Purpose Stored?
CSS computed styles of hovered elements Display inspection overlay No (runtime only)
Extension enabled/disabled state Persist your ON/OFF toggle preference Yes — chrome.storage.local only

Permissions Explained

activeTab

Allows the extension to interact with the currently active tab when you activate the inspector. Used only to read CSS properties of elements you hover over.

storage

Used exclusively to save your ON/OFF toggle preference locally on your device via chrome.storage.local. This data never leaves your device.

host_permissions: <all_urls>

Required so the content script can be injected into any webpage you choose to inspect. PixelPeek reads CSS computed styles only — it does not read page content, form data, passwords, or any other information.
