1. Data Collection
Detective Helper does not collect any user data. The extension reads content on gov.eclipse-rp.net solely to populate its on-screen toolkit features (Incident Reports, Support Checker, Dossier Generator, and Forum Tools). This content is processed locally within your browser and is never transmitted to the developer or any third party.
The following information is stored locally on your device using
chrome.storage.local:
- Your theme preference (light or dark mode)
- Temporary session cache to reduce repeated page reads
- Internal error logs for local debugging purposes, visible only to you
No personally identifiable information (such as name, email address, or IP address) is collected at any point.
2. Data Use
Locally stored data is used exclusively to provide and improve the extension's features within your browser session:
- Theme preference is used to render the correct visual style on load
- Session cache is used to speed up repeated lookups on gov.eclipse-rp.net
- Error logs are used solely for local debugging and are never transmitted
Data is not used for advertising, profiling, analytics, or any purpose beyond the immediate function of the extension.
3. Data Sharing
No user data is shared with any party. The extension makes no outbound network requests to any server operated by the developer or any third party. All processing occurs entirely within your local browser environment.
4. Third Parties
Detective Helper does not integrate with, transmit data to, or use any third-party analytics, advertising, tracking, or data-processing services. No third party receives any data as a result of using this extension.
5. Permissions
The extension requests the following Chrome permissions, each used only for the stated purpose and for no other reason:
- storage — saves preferences and cache locally on your device only
- scripting — injects the toolkit UI into gov.eclipse-rp.net pages
- tabs / windows — opens extension pages (e.g. the dashboard) in new tabs
- clipboardWrite — copies generated report text to your clipboard on request
- contextMenus — adds right-click shortcuts for Dossier and report tools
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Locally stored data persists until you uninstall the extension or manually clear it via Chrome's extension storage settings. No data exists anywhere other than your own device, so uninstalling the extension removes all associated data entirely.
7. Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes, the effective date above will be updated. Material changes will also be noted in the Chrome Web Store listing update notes.
