Privacy Policy

Overview

Early Life Checker ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension operates and our approach to user privacy when you use our service.

Key Point: Early Life Checker does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The extension operates entirely within your browser without sending any information to external servers.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Early Life Checker is designed with privacy as a core principle. We explicitly do NOT collect:

• Personal identification information (name, email, address, etc.)
• Browsing history or website visit data
• Search queries or Wikipedia page content
• Device information or system specifications
• Location data
• Usage analytics or behavioral data
• Cookies or tracking mechanisms
• IP addresses or network information

How the Extension Works

Early Life Checker operates entirely within your browser using local processing:

• Page Analysis: The extension analyzes Wikipedia page content locally in your browser to determine if the page is about a Jewish person
• Music Playback: When a relevant page is detected, the extension plays traditional Jewish music that is stored locally within the extension
• No External Communication: All processing happens on your device without any external server communication
• No Data Storage: The extension does not store any information about your browsing or the pages you visit

Permissions Explained

The Early Life Checker extension requests minimal permissions necessary for its functionality:

• Active Tab Permission: Allows the extension to read the content of the current Wikipedia page to determine if it's about a Jewish person. This is processed locally and no data is transmitted.
• Storage Permission: Used only to store user preferences such as volume settings and enable/disable status. No browsing data or personal information is stored.
• Host Permission (wikipedia.org): Limits the extension's operation to Wikipedia pages only, ensuring it cannot access other websites.

Local Data Storage

The only data stored locally by the extension includes:

• User preference settings (volume level, enabled/disabled status)
• Extension configuration options

This data remains on your device and is not shared with us or any third parties. You can clear this data at any time by removing the extension.

Third-Party Services

Early Life Checker does not integrate with, communicate with, or share data with any third-party services, analytics platforms, or external APIs. The extension operates as a completely self-contained unit within your browser.

Audio Content

The traditional Jewish music played by the extension is:

• Stored locally within the extension package
• Played directly from your device without any external downloads
• Not recorded, monitored, or tracked in any way

Children's Privacy

Early Life Checker does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Since we don't collect any personal information from users of any age, our extension is safe for users of all ages.

Data Security

Since Early Life Checker does not collect or transmit any personal data, there are no data security risks associated with external data breaches. All extension functionality operates locally within your secure browser environment.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the extension after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Compliance

Early Life Checker is designed to comply with:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies
• Other applicable privacy regulations

Our no-data-collection approach ensures compliance with these regulations by design.

• Disable or uninstall the extension at any time
• Modify extension settings through Chrome's extension management
• Contact us with privacy-related questions or concerns
