What the extension stores on your device, what it reads from web pages, and what each permission is used for. No data leaves your browser.
SuriScope is a Chrome extension designed for web quality assurance (QA) professionals. This privacy policy describes the data we process, how we use it, and how we store it.
Affected extension version: 1.0.0 and later
Public URL for this policy: https://www.mrsuricate.com/politique-de-confidentialite-suriscope
SuriScope stores the following data in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local), and nowhere else:
This data remains exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to an external server.
The search fields you've entered (selector, search text, query in the dataLayer) are saved for the duration of your browser session (chrome.storage.session) so you don't have to retype everything; they are cleared when you close Chrome.
To help diagnose a problem without having to open the developer tools, SuriScope maintains a local log (up to 200 entries, stored in chrome.storage.local) that includes the date, severity level (error/warning/info), source (extension, page, interface), a stable technical code, and an explanatory message.
Ce journal ne contient aucune donnée de vos pages : ni URL (toute adresse est remplacée par <url>), ni sélecteur, ni valeur de dataLayer, ni requête réseau. Il n'est jamais transmis automatiquement : il n'est lu que par la section « Journal » des Paramètres, qui vous permet de le copier vous-même si vous choisissez de l'envoyer, et de l'effacer d'un clic.
When you use SuriScope on a web page, the extension can read:
This data is displayed in the extension's interface and stored only in the session (chrome.storage.session), on a per-tab basis: a maximum of 500 requests (content truncated to 5,000 characters per request, up to 2 MB per tab), which is deleted as soon as the tab is closed and, in any case, when the browser is closed. No page data is transmitted to an external server.
SuriScope never collects:
| Data Type | Storage | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Preferences (theme, language, highlighting, print format, layout) | chrome.storage.local | Persistent (until uninstalled) |
| Search History (max. 100 entries: filter, type, address without parameters, number of results) | chrome.storage.local | Until you click the "Clear" button on the "Recent" tab, or uninstall the app |
| Library of Saved Selectors (max. 200 entries: selector, label, note, tags) | chrome.storage.local | Until the entry is deleted or the program is uninstalled |
| Incident Log (max. 200 entries, no page data) | chrome.storage.local | Until you tap the "Clear" button in Settings, or uninstall the app |
| Getting Started Guide, Tips You've Seen Before, Hiding the Introduction Banner | chrome.storage.local | Until the settings are reset or the app is uninstalled |
| Current search fields (selector, text, dataLayer query) | chrome.storage.session | Browser-only session |
| Intercepted network requests and dataLayer content | chrome.storage.session | Deleted when the tab is closed and when the browser is closed (maximum of 500 requests per tab) |
SuriScope does not use any third-party services: no audience analytics tools, no telemetry, no crash reports, no ad networks, no authentication services, and no content delivery networks. No integrated third-party libraries communicate with the outside world: the built-in selector analysis tools run locally, within your browser.
The extension's footer contains a link that reads "Powered by Mr Suricate " and a closable banner linking to https://www.mrsuricate.com/, the website of SuriScope's publisher. This link is never opened automatically; it opens only if you click on it, in a new tab. No data generated by the extension is included with this navigation. All users start with the same campaign parameters (utm_source=extension, utm_medium=referral, utm_campaign=suriscope), which are appended to the URL to indicate to the publisher’s website that the visit originated from the extension: these parameters are fixed, identical for everyone, contain no personal data or identifiers, and are not used for profiling. The banner can be permanently hidden in Settings (“Promotion Mr Suricate ”).
This webpage is published by a third party as defined by the Chrome Web Store: once opened, this site's privacy policy applies.
| Data | Preservation | Delete |
|---|---|---|
| Preferences (theme, language, highlighting, options) | Until uninstallation | Uninstall the extension, or reset it from the settings |
| Search History (max. 100 entries) | Until the user deletes it or uninstalls it | "Clear" button on the "Recent" tab, or uninstallation |
| Library of Saved Selectors (max. 200 entries) | Until the user deletes it or uninstalls it | Deleting the entry, or uninstalling |
| Incident Log | Until the user deletes them or uninstalls the app (maximum of 200 entries; the oldest ones are replaced) | "Clear" button in the Settings Log section, or uninstallation |
| Content of the analyzed page (dataLayer, observed requests) | Browser session duration (chrome.storage.session), per tab (maximum of 500 requests) | Automatically cleared when the tab and browser are closed; "Clear" button in the interface |
No data is stored on a server, and no external retention period applies: nothing leaves your device.
SuriScope does not transmit any data to external servers or third parties, and does not make any outgoing network requests: the only requests the extension sends are directed to the page you are inspecting. All data remains exclusively on your device.
The only possible outbound link is the one to the publisher's website described above: it is triggered only when you click it, and does not transmit any data generated by the extension.
Updates come from the Chrome Web Store (managed by Chrome itself) or, for an internal installation, by manually replacing the extension file. The extension does not contact any server to check its version.
To be clear: SuriScope does not sell any data, does not use any data for purposes unrelated to its function (QA analysis of the open page), and does not use any data to assess creditworthiness or grant credit.
| Permission | Justification |
|---|---|
| scripting | Inject the content script to analyze the pages |
| sidePanel | Show the interface in the sidebar |
| storage | Save preferences and session state |
| tabs | Identify the active page for message routing |
| clipboardWrite | Copy the selectors to the clipboard |
| webNavigation | Cross-frame search in iframes |
| contextMenus | "Inspect with SuriScope" context menu |
| alarms | Delayed page freezing (debug mode) |
| Access to the websites (http://*/*, https://*/*) | Analyze the page you open: that is the tool's primary function. The file:// and ftp:// schemas are not required. No page data is transmitted externally. |
