🔒 Privacy-First Mindset: CacheHit operates entirely locally in your browser sandbox. It does not collect, store, track, or transmit any of your browsing history or personal data to external servers.
1. Data Collection and Usage
CacheHit processes information in real-time on your local machine to determine the CDN caching status of the web pages you visit. No URL strings, HTTP header details, or unique identifiers ever leave your device, ensuring complete browsing privacy.
2. Permissions and Why They Are Needed
To provide its core diagnostics utility, CacheHit requests specific browser permissions. Here is exactly how they are safely utilized:
webRequest & Host Permissions: Used strictly to inspect response headers (such as cf-cache-status or X-Cache) to determine cache state. No request contents or headers are ever stored or sent externally.
webNavigation & tabs: Used to dynamically refresh and update the extension's toolbar badge color/text as you switch between browser tabs or navigate to different addresses.
storage: Used exclusively to persist your local configuration choices (such as user interface preferences) on your own device.
browsingData: Executed only when you explicitly trigger the "Clear Cache" or "Clear Site Data" buttons inside the extension popup, scoping the purge entirely to the active domain.
3. Data Sharing
Because our software architecture functions with zero data collection, we do not possess, sell, trade, or share any information with third parties, analytics companies, or external databases.
4. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to maintain alignment with newer browser architecture or updated extension capabilities. Any modifications will be clearly reflected by an updated effective date at the top of this document.
