Overview

9K Extension Bodyguard is designed to keep data on the user's device. It reviews installed extensions only, and its reports are based on declared permissions exposed by Chrome, not live extension behavior.

The extension does not sync data to a server and does not send extension review data outside the device.

Data Processed Locally

9K Extension Bodyguard processes extension metadata provided by Chrome's extension management API and local user settings saved by the extension.

Installed extension information

  • Installed extension names.
  • Extension versions.
  • Enabled or disabled state.
  • Install type when Chrome provides it.
  • Extension icons when Chrome provides them.
  • Declared API permissions.
  • Declared site access patterns.

Local user data

  • Local notes.
  • Trust marks.
  • Welcome or intro screen state.
  • Language preference.
  • Local permission review snapshots.

Where Data Is Stored

Data is stored in chrome.storage.local on the user's device. 9K Extension Bodyguard does not sell this data, share it with third parties, or sync it to a server.

What 9K Extension Bodyguard Does Not Do

9K Extension Bodyguard does not:

  • Scan websites.
  • Read page content.
  • Read browsing history.
  • Read cookies.
  • Use content scripts.
  • Request host permissions.
  • Monitor live browsing behavior.
  • Use analytics.
  • Show ads.
  • Call remote APIs.
  • Make AI calls.
  • Sell user data.
  • Share user data with third parties.
  • Sync data to a server.

Requested Chrome Permissions

9K Extension Bodyguard requests only the Chrome permissions needed for its local extension review dashboard.

management

Used to read installed extension names, versions, enabled state, icons, and declared permissions so the dashboard can explain extension access locally.

storage

Used to save local notes, trust marks, welcome screen state, language preference, and local permission review snapshots on this device.

Data Sharing and Sale

9K Extension Bodyguard does not sell user data. It does not share user data with third parties. It does not use analytics, advertising, tracking, remote reporting services, remote APIs, or AI calls.

User Control

Users can edit or remove local notes in the dashboard, remove trust marks, reset the welcome intro state, reset permission history, and clear local data from Settings. Users can also mark permission changes reviewed, which replaces the stored local permission snapshot with the current declared extension access.

Uninstalling 9K Extension Bodyguard removes its extension data according to Chrome's extension storage behavior.

Limitations

9K Extension Bodyguard reviews declared permissions exposed by Chrome. It does not inspect live extension behavior and does not make guarantees about an extension's behavior.

Changes to This Policy

Future changes to this policy should be documented with the extension version and date.
