Extension privacy

The Schmoodboard extension exists to do one thing: when you click its icon (or use the right-click menu) on a webpage, it sends that page's URL to your Schmoodboard account so we can generate a design analysis for it.

• The URL of the active tab at the moment you click the extension or pick "Analyze with Schmoodboard" from the right-click menu.
• Your existing schmoodboard.com session cookie, so the request is authenticated as you. No separate login is set up inside the extension.

• Page content, HTML, or DOM. The extension never reads what is on the page.
• Form data, keystrokes, passwords, or anything you type.
• Cookies belonging to sites other than schmoodboard.com.
• Browsing history beyond the URL you explicitly choose to analyze.
• Screenshots of the page you are viewing.

The extension uses chrome.storage.local to cache your last-known sign-in state, so the popup can render instantly without a network round-trip every time you open it. It also uses chrome.alarms to refresh that cached state on a low-frequency schedule. Nothing in this local cache is shared with third parties.

• activeTab — read the URL of the tab you click on, only at the moment you click. No background access to other tabs.
• contextMenus — adds the right-click "Analyze with Schmoodboard" entry.
• storage — caches sign-in state locally as described above.
• alarms — refreshes that cached sign-in state in the background.
• host_permissions: schmoodboard.com — required so your existing schmoodboard.com session cookie is included on requests to our API. No other host is permitted.

The extension does not embed any third-party analytics, telemetry, error reporting, or advertising. It talks to one host: schmoodboard.com. Your data is not sold, rented, or shared.

Once a URL reaches schmoodboard.com, it is handled by the same systems and the same Schmoodboard product you already use on the web. Analyses are saved to your account so you can revisit them. You can delete an entry at any time from inside the app.
