Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 7, 2026

API Debug Helper ("the Extension") is a Chrome extension that helps developers inspect and debug API requests. This policy explains what data the Extension handles and how.

Data Collected and Stored

All data is stored locally in your browser only using Chrome's built-in storage APIs. No data is uploaded to any server operated by the developer.

• API request logs — URLs, HTTP methods, status codes, request/response headers and bodies captured from pages you visit. Stored temporarily in session storage (cleared on browser restart) and partially persisted in local storage for convenience.
• JWT tokens — Tokens you manually enter for auto-injection. Stored locally and never transmitted externally.
• Environment configurations — Host redirect rules you define. Stored locally.
• Exclude patterns, snapshots, tags, settings — All stored locally in your browser.
• License key — If you purchase a Pro license, your license key is stored locally and periodically verified against Gumroad's API (see below).

Data Transmitted Externally

The Extension contacts external servers only in the following case:

• License verification — When you activate or re-validate a Pro license key, the key is sent to api.gumroad.com to confirm its validity. No other data is included in this request.

The Extension does not collect analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or any personally identifiable information.

Permissions Used

• all_urls — Required to intercept fetch/XHR requests on pages you visit for logging purposes.
• storage — To save your settings, logs, and tokens locally.
• declarativeNetRequest — To redirect API hostnames when you activate an environment rule.
• sidePanel, tabs, activeTab — To display the side panel UI and replay requests.

Data Sharing

No data is sold, rented, or shared with third parties. The only external communication is the Gumroad license verification described above.

Data Retention

All locally stored data can be cleared at any time by removing the Extension or clearing Chrome's extension storage. Session logs are automatically cleared when the browser restarts.
