Privacy Assurance of AdTrix (Inspect AMP Ads)

 

 

Privacy Assurance


  • Targeted Data Access

    • The extension exclusively inspects AMP ad elements (e.g., <amp-ad> tags, custom ad placeholders) and their associated network requests.
    • No general page content, user inputs, or non-ad-related DOM elements are accessed, read, or modified.


  • No User Data Collection

    • No personal or sensitive data (e.g., cookies, browsing history, login credentials) is collected, stored, or transmitted.
    • Ad-related metadata (e.g., ad positions, URLs, network timestamps) is processed locally and never leaves the user’s browser.

  • Compliance & Minimal Permissions

    • <all_urls> is strictly necessary to ensure compatibility with AMP ads, which can appear on any website.

    • Permissions align with Chrome’s least-privilege principle and are limited to:

    • Injecting content scripts to detect ads.

    • Accessing fetchNetwork.js for ad network analysis.

    • No background tracking or persistent identifiers are used.


  • Transparency & User Control

    • Users can review permissions during installation and manage access via Chrome’s extension settings.
    • All stored data (e.g., temporary ad metadata) is cleared when the extension is removed.
