Privacy Policy — JSON Inspector

LAST UPDATED: 2026-07-15

JSON Inspector is a free browser extension. This policy covers the extension itself and describes what data it collects: none.

Data collection

JSON Inspector does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any user data. It has no server. Specifically, it does not:

• Collect personal information, browsing history, or page content
• Send any data to the developer or to any third-party service
• Use analytics, telemetry, or tracking of any kind
• Set cookies or use third-party services
• Require an account

Data handled locally

To do its job, JSON Inspector reads the text of the one page you activate it on, to parse it as JSON and display it as a tree. All of that processing happens locally in your browser; nothing is sent to the developer, sold, or shared, and it is discarded when you close the tree. The extension cannot read any page until you click its toolbar button on that page. The same data type ("website content") is declared on the extension's Chrome Web Store privacy disclosure.

Opening the tree makes no network requests of its own. The copy buttons write to your clipboard only when you click them — nothing is ever read from your clipboard.

Local storage

JSON Inspector stores nothing — it does not use the browser's extension storage at all. Expand/collapse state lives only inside the open tree and resets when you close it. There are no settings, no saved data, and nothing left behind at uninstall. Dark mode simply follows your system theme.

Permissions

JSON Inspector requests only two permissions, the minimum for its single purpose: activeTab (access the current page only when you click the toolbar button) and scripting (show the JSON tree on that page after that click). It requests access to no websites — it cannot run anywhere until you click its button there.

The hub website

Everything above describes the extension, which ships zero telemetry — always. This website (yonasol.com) uses Google Analytics to count page visits. That is standard site analytics, disclosed here, and is never extension behavior.

Changes

If a future version ever changes any of the above, this policy will be updated before that version ships, and the extension's store listing data disclosures will be updated to match.
