Extension Hider (“the Extension”) is a Chrome extension developed to hide other extensions from the Chrome Extensions page and protect this functionality with a password. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling data responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information.

1. Information We Collect
The Extension uses the storage permission to store:

• A list of hidden extension IDs (hiddenExtensions) to maintain visibility state.
• A hashed password (passwordHash) to secure toggle functionality.

No personal data (e.g., name, email, or browsing history) is collected. All data is stored locally on your device using chrome.storage.local.

2. How We Use Your Information
The stored data is used solely to:

• Hide or show extensions on the chrome://extensions page.
• Verify password input to toggle extension visibility.

No data is transmitted to external servers or third parties.

3. Permissions
The Extension requires:

• management: To access and filter extension visibility.
• commands: To enable the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+H or Cmd+Shift+H).
• storage: To persist hidden extension IDs and the password hash locally.

These permissions are used only for the Extension’s core functionality.

4. Data Security
The password is hashed using a simple algorithm before storage. No plain-text passwords are stored. Data is stored locally and not synced or shared. While we take reasonable measures to secure data, no system is completely secure. For enhanced security, use a strong password.

5. Third-Party Sharing
We do not share, sell, or transfer any data to third parties. The Extension operates entirely locally and does not connect to external servers.

6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in functionality or legal requirements. Updates will be posted here, with the “Last Updated” date revised. Check periodically for changes.
