Privacy Policy

Overview

Quick accessibility checks helps you inspect headings, images, and lists on webpages. The extension processes the information it needs directly in your browser to show accessibility labels, highlights, and counts. It does not send webpage content or extension data to the developer or to third parties.

Information the extension processes

When you run a check, the extension reads relevant parts of the current webpage, such as heading text and levels, image alternative text and accessible names, list structure, ARIA attributes, and element visibility. It may inspect content in frames and open shadow roots that are accessible to the extension. This information is processed locally to determine what labels, highlights, and counts to display.

For custom elements, the extension may also read Chrome's computed accessibility tree to obtain roles, accessible names, and heading levels, including semantics provided through ElementInternals. It uses Chrome's debugger API only while an accessibility scan is running and detaches when the scan queue finishes. Chrome may show a debugger permission warning or indicator during a scan.

The extension does not read image pixels or collect page content for purposes unrelated to the accessibility checks. Labels are shown temporarily on the page and are not saved as page content. Temporary DOM markers used to associate computed accessibility information with page elements are removed after the scan.

Information stored on your device

• Preferences: whether the extension is active, overlay visibility, hover-label preference, and selected checks are saved in Chrome extension storage on your device. They remain until you change or clear them, or remove the extension.
• Temporary counts: numeric accessibility counts and tab/frame identifiers are held in Chrome session storage so the popup can show totals for the current tab. These temporary records are removed when they are no longer needed, including when a tab is closed, and are not used to build browsing history.

The extension does not store webpage text, image content, accessible labels, URLs, browsing history, or personal information.

Other personal information and interactions

The extension is not designed to request or collect personally identifiable, health, financial, authentication, or communications data. If such information appears in the webpage fields being checked, it may be processed locally as part of the accessibility check; it is not separately stored or transmitted. The extension does not access your location or build a history of the websites you visit.

When hover labels are enabled, the extension responds to pointer and keyboard focus events to show labels. It does not record or transmit those interactions, clicks, keystrokes, or browsing behavior. The extension does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Sharing and sale

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties. The extension does not transmit the information it processes to external servers.

Security and your choices

Page analysis runs locally in the browser. You control when to enable checks and which categories to inspect. You can pause the extension, turn off overlays, change selected checks, clear Chrome extension storage, or uninstall the extension at any time.
