Privacy Policy — SiteSpell Disable

Overview

SiteSpell Disable is a Chrome browser extension that disables spellcheck, autocorrect, autocomplete, and autocapitalize on websites you choose. This page explains what data the extension does and does not collect.

Short version: We collect nothing. The extension stores only your preferences locally in Chrome. No data ever leaves your device to any server we operate.

Data We Do Not Collect

SiteSpell Disable does not collect, store, read, or transmit any of the following:

⌨️

Keystrokes or typed content

We never read what you type

Browsing history

We don't log the pages you visit

👤

Personal information

No name, email, or identity data

📍

Location data

No IP address, GPS, or region

📊

No usage events or crash reports

🍪

Cookies or fingerprinting

No tracking of any kind

What Is Stored Locally

The only data written by this extension is your preferences, saved in chrome.storage.sync:

Key	Value	Purpose
`globalEnabled`	`true` or `false`	Whether the extension is globally on or off
`disabledSites`	Array of domain strings e.g. ["typeracer.com"]	The list of sites you have chosen to disable spellcheck on

chrome.storage.sync is a Chrome API. If you are signed into Chrome, Google may sync this data across your own signed-in devices as part of your Chrome profile. This is handled by Google and subject to Google's Privacy Policy. SiteSpell Disable itself never reads or transmits this data to any external server.

Permissions Explained

Permission	Why it is needed
`storage`	Saves your site list and global toggle using `chrome.storage.sync`.
`activeTab`	Reads the URL of the tab you have open so the popup can show the current domain.
`scripting`	Re-injects `content.js` into the active tab after you add or remove a site, so changes take effect immediately without a manual reload.
`<all_urls>`	Required by the `scripting` permission to inject into any tab. The content script only acts on domains you have explicitly added — all other pages are untouched.

Data Sharing

SiteSpell Disable does not share any data with any third party — ever. There are no advertising networks, analytics providers, or data brokers involved.

Remote Code

The extension contains no remote code. All JavaScript executes locally from the installed extension package. There are no calls to external APIs, CDNs, or any servers of any kind.

Children's Privacy

This extension does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children. Because no data is collected at all, there are no special concerns for children's privacy.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes in a future version, the updated policy will be included with that release and the effective date above will be updated accordingly.
