Privacy Policy - Change Finder PDF Helper Extension
Last Updated: June 17, 2025
Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how the Change Finder PDF Helper Chrome Extension ("Extension", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our browser extension.
Information We Collect
Website Content
Our Extension scans web pages you visit to identify PDF links and documents. This scanning occurs locally in your browser and enables the Extension to provide context menu options when you right-click on PDF links.
User Preferences
We store your Extension settings and preferences locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. This includes:
- Your Change Finder workspace configuration
- Extension preferences and settings
PDF URLs
When you explicitly choose to send a PDF to Change Finder using our Extension, we process the PDF URL to facilitate the transfer to your Change Finder workspace.
Information We Do NOT Collect
We do not collect, store, or transmit:
- Personal identifying information (name, email, address, etc.)
- Browsing history or web activity beyond PDF detection
- Authentication credentials or passwords
- Financial or payment information
- Health information
- Location data
- Personal communications
How We Use Information
The information collected is used solely for the Extension's single purpose:
- Detecting PDF links on web pages you visit
- Providing context menu options for PDF links
- Facilitating the transfer of PDF URLs to your Change Finder workspace
- Maintaining your Extension preferences
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your information to third parties. PDF URLs are only sent to Change Finder when you explicitly choose to use the Extension's functionality.
Data Security
Your data is processed locally in your browser whenever possible. When PDF URLs are transmitted to Change Finder, they are sent securely using industry-standard encryption protocols.
Your Rights
You can:
- Uninstall the Extension at any time
