Privacy Policy — JSON Formatter — Viewer & Beautifier

Last updated: September 10, 2026

Short version: the extension collects nothing. No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no accounts. Your JSON is processed locally in the browser tab and never leaves it.

What the extension does

JSON Formatter detects pages that contain a raw JSON document and renders them as a collapsible tree, entirely inside the tab. All parsing, searching, formatting and copying happens locally on your device.

Data collection

The extension does not collect, store, transmit or sell any personal data, browsing history, or page content.
The content of the JSON documents you view never leaves the tab. It is not written to storage and not sent anywhere.
The extension makes zero network requests. The only resources it loads are its own files bundled with the extension.

Permissions

storage — the only permission the extension requests. It stores your interface preferences (theme, indent width, default expand depth, path notation, clickable links, excluded domains). If you are signed into Chrome, Chrome itself may sync these preferences across your devices via chrome.storage.sync — this is standard Chrome functionality under Google’s privacy policy.
Access to page content (<all_urls> content script) is required because JSON can be served from any domain. The script only inspects the page type (about 1 ms) and immediately exits on pages that are not raw JSON, leaving no trace.

Welcome page and uninstall survey

After installation the extension opens a one-time welcome page, and after uninstallation Chrome opens a short farewell survey. Both are ordinary web pages hosted on GitHub Pages; standard web-server access logs of the hosting provider may apply to visiting them, as with any website.
The uninstall survey is anonymous and voluntary. If you choose to submit it, only your selected reason, the optional free-text comment and the page language are stored (in a private Google Sheet via Google Apps Script). No identifiers, no IP-address processing on our side, no cookies.

Changes to this policy

If the policy ever changes, the updated version will be published at the same address, with the “Last updated” date above revised. The core promise — no data collection in the extension — is the product’s positioning and is not going to change.
