Closely Image Zoom

1. Overview

Closely Image Zoom ("the Extension") is a browser extension designed to enable image zooming and panning functionality on websites. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect user information.

2. What Data We Collect

The Extension collects minimal data, all stored locally on your device:

A. Preference Settings

• Global enable/disable toggle state
• Per-site enable/disable settings (e.g., "disabled_instagram.com")
• These are stored in browser.storage.sync for consistent settings across devices logged into the same browser account

B. Active Tab Information

• Website hostname (e.g., "instagram.com") to populate the "Enable on this site" label in the popup
• This information is used only to display which site you are currently viewing
• It is never logged, transmitted, or stored on external servers

C. Image Data

• The Extension reads image elements in the webpage's DOM to apply zoom and pan effects
• Image data remains in your browser's memory during use
• No image data is stored, cached, or transmitted

3. How We Use Data

All collected data is used exclusively for:

1. Injecting zoom and pan functionality into image elements
2. Remembering your enable/disable preferences per-site
3. Displaying the correct site name in the extension popup
4. Restoring your settings across browser sessions

Data is not used for:

• Analytics or usage tracking
• Behavioral profiling
• Advertising or marketing
• Selling, renting, or sharing with third parties
• Any purpose unrelated to the Extension's core function

4. Data Storage and Retention

All data is stored locally in your browser:

• Settings are stored using Chrome's storage.sync API (local to your device)
• No data is transmitted to external servers or databases
• Settings persist only while the Extension is installed
• Uninstalling the Extension automatically removes all associated data

You can manually clear all Extension data at any time via browser settings:
Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data > Cookies and other site data

5. Third-Party Services

The Extension does not use any third-party services:

• No analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)

The Extension is entirely self-contained and makes no external network requests.

8. Security

Although the Extension does not transmit data, we implement security best practices:
