Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 2, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how Network Logger ("the Extension", "we", "our") handles information when you use our Chrome DevTools extension.
Key Point: Network Logger processes all data locally within your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information or usage data to external servers.
1. Information We Access
Network Logger is a developer tool that operates exclusively within Chrome DevTools. When you use the Extension, it accesses the following information:
Network Request Data
- URLs: Web addresses of network requests
- HTTP Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
- Request Headers: HTTP headers sent with requests
- Response Headers: HTTP headers received in responses
- Request Payload: Data sent in request body
- Response Content: Data received in response body
- Status Codes: HTTP status codes (200, 404, 500, etc.)
- Content Types: MIME types of requests and responses
- Size Information: Byte size of requests and responses
- Timing Information: Request duration and timing metrics
2. How We Use This Information
The Extension uses the accessed information solely for the following purposes:
- Display: Showing network requests in a user-friendly table within DevTools
- Filtering: Allowing users to filter requests by type, URL, or method
- Sorting: Enabling sorting by various columns (method, URL, status, size, time)
- Exporting: Converting data to HAR, JSON, or CSV format for local download
- Copying: Converting requests to cURL or Fetch commands for developer use
Important: All processing happens locally in your browser. The Extension does not send any data to external servers, APIs, or third-party services.
3. Data Storage
Local Storage Only
The Extension stores minimal user preferences locally using Chrome's storage API:
- Column Widths: Your preferred table column widths
- Preserve Log Setting: Whether to keep logs across page navigations
Temporary Data
- Network request data is stored temporarily in browser memory while DevTools is open
- Data is cleared when you close DevTools or clear the log
- Exported files (HAR, JSON, CSV) are saved to your local Downloads folder and are fully under your control
No Cloud Storage: We do not store any data in the cloud, on remote servers, or in any external database.
4. Data Sharing and Transmission
Network Logger does not share, sell, rent, or transmit any data to third parties. Specifically:
- ❌ No data is sent to our servers (we don't have any servers)
- ❌ No data is sent to third-party analytics services
- ❌ No data is shared with advertisers
- ❌ No data is sold to data brokers
- ❌ No data leaves your local device
The only data transmission occurs when you explicitly choose to:
- Export data to a file (saved locally to your device)
- Copy data to your clipboard (for pasting elsewhere)
5. Permissions
The Extension requires the following Chrome permissions:
DevTools API
Allows the Extension to create a DevTools panel and access network request information through Chrome's DevTools API. This permission is necessary for the core functionality of the Extension.
No Host Permissions
The Extension does not require access to any websites or web page content. It operates solely within the DevTools environment.
6. Security
We implement the following security measures:
- Local Processing: All data remains on your device
- No Network Requests: The Extension does not make any external HTTP requests
- No Remote Code: All code is bundled with the Extension; no remote scripts are loaded
- Chrome Sandbox: The Extension runs in Chrome's secure extension sandbox
- No Authentication: We don't collect usernames, passwords, or any authentication data
7. Your Rights and Control
You have full control over your data:
- Clear Data: Click the "Clear" button to remove all captured requests
- Close DevTools: Closing DevTools automatically clears all temporary data
- Uninstall: Uninstalling the Extension removes all stored preferences
- Export Control: You decide when and what to export
8. Children's Privacy
Network Logger is a developer tool intended for professional use. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age. The Extension is designed for developers and should only be used by individuals with the technical knowledge to understand its purpose.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
Significant changes will be communicated through:
- Updates to this page
- Chrome Web Store listing updates
- Extension update notes
10. Third-Party Services
Network Logger does not integrate with any third-party services, APIs, or external libraries that collect data. The Extension operates as a standalone tool within Chrome DevTools.
11. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for processing data is:
- Legitimate Interest: To provide the debugging and network analysis functionality you expect from a developer tool
- Consent: By installing and using the Extension, you consent to the local processing of network request data as described in this policy
Since all processing occurs locally on your device and no data is transmitted externally, the risks to your privacy are minimal.
12. Compliance
Network Logger complies with:
- Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
- Other applicable privacy laws and regulations
