Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 16, 2026

Web Developer Tools is a product operated by SummaryTube.

Web Developer Tools is a Chrome extension that provides local, on-device development utilities. Our core philosophy is built around privacy. Your code, text, and inputs are processed locally in your browser and are not sent to our servers.

What we process

  • Account: If you sign in to purchase a premium plan, we process your account ID, email, and basic profile info to authenticate you and apply your plan.
  • Local processing: All developer tools, conversions, formats, and generations run locally in your browser environment. Your input data is not uploaded.
  • Payments: Paid plans are processed by our payment provider (Paddle); we do not store your full card number on our servers.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We do not run third-party advertising SDKs inside the extension.
  • We do not use invasive cross-site tracking for ads.
  • We do not collect or upload your source code or input data.

Permissions and purpose

Every permission below exists to let a tool act on the page you're currently working on — nothing runs in the background, and nothing is collected beyond what the tool displays back to you in the extension itself.

storage

Saves your own settings (enabled tools, theme, shortcuts) locally on your device.

activeTab

Lets a tool briefly act on the tab you clicked it from, even if broader site access is restricted.

scripting

Injects an on-page tool (ruler, color picker, edit-CSS, reports, etc.) only when you explicitly turn it on.

tabs

Identifies your active tab so tools apply to the page you're looking at, and reloads it when a toggle requires a fresh load.

cookies

Powers the cookie manager — view, edit, or delete cookies for the site you're inspecting. Shown to you only, never transmitted.

contentSettings

Powers the “disable JavaScript / images / cookies / popups” toggles for a given site.

browsingData

Powers the one-click “clear cache” / “clear history” diagnostic actions — only what you click gets cleared.

host permission (all sites)

Lets the tools work immediately on whatever site you're debugging, without a per-site prompt. All analysis happens locally in your browser against that page's own DOM/network data — nothing is logged or sent to a server.

We do not request any permission the extension doesn't actively use, and none of these permissions are used to collect analytics, track your browsing, or transmit page content off your device.

Service providers

We use secure services for authentication and database storage for account management. The website may set essential cookies when you use your account. Payments are handled by Paddle.
