Privacy Policy – Heuristic Evaluation Inspector No data collected

Last updated:

Heuristic Evaluation Inspector is a Chrome extension for UX teams to pin notes to page elements, mark severity, and capture reliable screenshots (via html2canvas) to export a structured PDF report.

Data Collection

The extension does not collect, store, or transmit personal information to external servers. All processing (element pinning, screenshots, notes, severity) occurs locally in your browser. The extension does not log keystrokes, track browsing history, or share data with third parties.

Local Storage

We use Chrome’s storage to save your on/off preferences and temporary evaluation data locally on your device. This data is only used to power the extension’s features and can be cleared by removing the extension or clearing browser storage.

Screenshots & Notes

Screenshots are generated locally using html2canvas. When you export a PDF, the file is created in your browser and saved to your machine. No screenshot or note leaves your device unless you choose to share it.

Permissions Used

  • Scripting: to inject the minimal scripts required for element pinning and on-page capture.
  • ActiveTab: to run only when you activate the extension on the current page.
  • Storage: to save preferences and temporary evaluation state locally.
  • Downloads: to export and save PDF reports you explicitly generate.
  • Host permissions: limited to pages where you use the tool; no background tracking.

Third-Party Services

No analytics, ads, or external telemetry are embedded. The bundled library html2canvas runs locally and does not send data externally.

Your Choices

  • Disable or remove the extension at any time via chrome://extensions.
  • Clear stored data by removing the extension or clearing site/extension storage.
  • Control what you export—PDFs are created only when you choose to generate them.

Policy Compliance

This extension is designed to comply with the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies.
