Privacy Policy

1. About this policy

UI Review is a Chrome extension for identifying and annotating visual interface issues on web pages and exporting structured review reports. This policy explains how the extension handles information. No account is required to use UI Review.

This policy covers the extension itself. A website hosting this policy, the Chrome Web Store, and services you independently choose to use may handle information under their own privacy policies.

2. Information the extension processes

To create, display, and locate your annotations, UI Review processes:

• Page information: the reviewed page's URL and title, website domain, and viewport dimensions.
• Selected element information: visible and source text, a short HTML snippet, element attributes, CSS classes and selectors, computed styles, layout properties, dimensions, nearby text, and anchors used to locate the element again.
• Review information: issue identifiers, categories, severity, status, actual and expected results, notes or other content in a report, and creation or update timestamps.
• Preferences: your interface language and last-used issue category and severity.
• Imported reports: the contents of JSON files you choose to import.

Page content, HTML attributes, and URLs may contain personal or confidential information. Such information can become part of a local annotation or an exported report when it appears in the content you review. Inspect reports before sharing them, particularly when reviewing private websites.

3. How information is used

UI Review uses this information to let you select and describe interface issues, show annotation pins, organize reviews by website, locate previously reviewed elements, edit or delete issues, import reports, and generate JSON, Markdown, or AI Prompt text exports.

The interface language and issue preferences help preserve your choices between review sessions. The extension does not use review information for advertising, profiling, or analytics.

4. Local storage and retention

Annotations and interface language are saved on your device using chrome.storage.local. Annotations are organized by the reviewed website's domain. The last-used issue category and severity are saved in localStorage associated with the reviewed website.

Annotations remain in local extension storage until you delete or replace them, clear the relevant extension data, or uninstall the extension. Preferences stored in a website's local storage may remain after uninstallation until that website's stored data are cleared.

Exported reports are separate files. Deleting an annotation or uninstalling UI Review does not delete copies you have exported or shared.

5. Transmission, sharing, and AI tools

UI Review does not send annotations or reviewed page information to a developer-operated server, use advertising or analytics trackers, sell user data, or transmit review data to AI providers.

The AI Prompt option generates text locally for you to use with a tool of your choice. It does not connect to or automatically submit information to an AI service.

When you export, a file is downloaded through your browser. You control whether you share that file with another person, application, or service. Information you voluntarily send to a third party is subject to that party's policies.

6. Browser permissions

UI Review requests permissions to provide its review features:

• activeTab and scripting support opening the packaged review controls on the page you choose.
• storage saves annotations and preferences locally.
• sidePanel displays the report preview, editing, import, and export controls.
• tabs identifies reviewed pages and supports navigating to a page associated with an existing issue.
• Website access: the extension's content script runs on supported websites to select elements, display review controls, and restore saved annotation pins.

Executable JavaScript and styles are included in the extension package. UI Review does not download or execute remotely hosted code.

7. Your controls

You can review, edit, or delete annotations through the extension's page pins and issue list. You can choose which report format to export and inspect its contents before sharing. JSON imports are processed locally and can merge with or replace the applicable site's annotations.

You can also change the extension's website access in Chrome, clear relevant browser data, or uninstall the extension. To remove exported copies, delete those files separately from their saved locations.

8. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated to reflect changes to UI Review. The current version will show its effective and last-updated date at the top of this page.
