Privacy Policy for Chrome DevTools Logger
Last Updated: July 17, 2025
Extension Version: 1.0.568
Overview
Chrome DevTools Logger is a privacy-first developer tool that operates entirely within your browser. We are committed to protecting your privacy and do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to our servers.
Data Collection and Usage
What We DO NOT Collect
- ❌ No personal information (names, emails, addresses, phone numbers)
- ❌ No browsing history or website visits
- ❌ No search queries or user behavior tracking
- ❌ No analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics
- ❌ No crash reports sent to developers
- ❌ No advertisements or marketing data
What Stays Local on Your Device
- DevTools logs: Console messages, network requests, JavaScript errors
- Extension settings: User preferences, privacy filters, tier configurations
- Enterprise configurations: SIEM connections and managed policies (if enabled)
- Custom filters: Privacy patterns and domain filtering rules
Data Storage
- All data is stored locally using Chrome's secure storage API
- Sensitive data (credentials, API keys) is encrypted before storage
- Data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to export it
- You have complete control to clear all stored data at any time
- Device-specific encryption keys ensure data cannot be transferred between devices
Enterprise Features (Optional)
SIEM Integration
When enterprise users enable SIEM integration:
- Debugging logs are sent to YOUR organization's SIEM system (Splunk, Azure Sentinel, Google Chronicle)
- Data flows to your infrastructure, not to extension developers
- Your organization controls this data completely
- We never see, access, or store this enterprise data
Configuration Management
Enterprise deployments may:
- Download configuration files from your organization's approved domains
- Enforce organizational policies and settings
- All configuration data remains within your organization's control
Privacy Protection Features

Permissions Explanation
The extension requires certain Chrome permissions for legitimate functionality:

- activeTab: Monitor the currently active tab when enabled
- downloads: Export log files for local analysis

Third-Party Services
We do not use any third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising services. The only external connections are:

- Organizational configuration servers (when managed by enterprise IT)
These connections are controlled by your organization, not by us.
Data Retention
- Local storage: Data retained until you clear it or uninstall
- Enterprise SIEM: Retention controlled by your organization's policies
