Hoverizer Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 22, 2026

Hoverizer is a browser extension that helps developers inspect and copy metadata (tag, ID, XPath, CSS selector, classes, color) from elements on a webpage.

Data collection

Hoverizer does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal information, browsing history, or website content. All processing happens locally in your browser:

Element inspection (tag, ID, XPath, selector, classes, first text node) reads the current page's DOM in memory and is never sent anywhere.
The eyedropper color picker reads pixel data from the page (or, as a fallback, a local screenshot of the visible tab via the browser's tabs.captureVisibleTab API) purely to compute a HEX/RGBA value.
All "copy" actions write directly to your device's clipboard.
The only value persisted is your Dev Mode on/off state and light/dark toolbar preference, stored in localStorage on your own device — this never leaves your browser.

Permissions

Permission	Why it's needed
`activeTab`	Inject the toolbar and read the hovered/selected element only on the tab you're actively using.
`scripting`	Inject the content script (toolbar + hover/click listeners) when you turn on Dev Mode.
`tabs`	Route the toggle/context-menu actions to the correct tab, and capture the visible tab as a fallback for the eyedropper tool.
`contextMenus`	Add the right-click menu items for copying element info.

No host_permissions are requested, and Hoverizer makes no network requests.

Third parties

Hoverizer does not integrate any analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking of any kind.
