Privacy Policy – Tracking Debugger

Privacy Policy – Tracking Debugger

Last Updated: September 2026

Introduction

For Tracking Debugger, the privacy policy should be written carefully because the extension handles potentially sensitive technical data (network requests, URLs, tracking parameters, Data Layer information), even though it is processed locally.

The key points we should communicate to Firefox AMO reviewers:

  • No personal data collection by the developer
  • No external servers
  • No analytics/tracking inside the extension
  • Data stays in the user’s browser
  • User controls exports
  • The extension only works when the user intentionally activates it

You can publish this as a simple web page.

Privacy Policy — Tracking Debugger

Last Updated: September 2026

Introduction

Tracking Debugger (“the Extension”) is a browser extension designed to help developers, analysts, and marketing professionals inspect and debug website tracking implementations.

This Privacy Policy explains how the Extension handles information when you use it.

The privacy of our users is important to us. Tracking Debugger is designed with a privacy-first approach, and all debugging activities are performed locally within your browser.

Information We Process

When you activate Tracking Debugger, the Extension may process technical information from the website you are currently inspecting, including:

  • Data Layer events and variables
  • Google Tag Manager activity
  • Google Analytics 4 requests and parameters
  • Google Ads conversion requests
  • Server-side tracking requests
  • Network request information
  • Event names and parameters
  • Page URLs and related technical information
  • Browser tab information required for debugging

This information is collected only for the purpose of helping you analyze and troubleshoot tracking implementations.

How We Use Information

The information processed by Tracking Debugger is used only to provide debugging functionality, including:

  • Detecting tracking events
  • Displaying tracking activity
  • Identifying possible implementation issues
  • Helping users understand data flow
  • Generating debugging reports or exports initiated by the user

We do not use collected information for advertising, profiling, analytics, or any commercial purpose.

Data Storage and Processing

Tracking Debugger processes captured information locally inside your browser.

We do not:

  • Upload your tracking data to external servers
  • Store your debugging sessions on our servers
  • Sell or share your information with third parties
  • Use collected information for user tracking

Any data saved by the Extension remains on your device and is controlled by you.

Data Export

Tracking Debugger may provide export functionality to allow users to save debugging information for further analysis.

Exports are created only when initiated by the user.

Users are responsible for handling and sharing exported files securely.

Third-Party Services

Tracking Debugger does not integrate with third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

The Extension may inspect requests sent by websites to third-party platforms (such as analytics or advertising platforms) only for debugging purposes initiated by the user.

The Extension does not send information to these platforms.

Permissions Usage

Tracking Debugger requests browser permissions necessary to provide debugging functionality.

Examples include:

Website Access

Used to inspect tracking activity on websites selected by the user.

Network Request Access

Used to identify tracking requests and analyze data flow.

Storage Access

Used to save user preferences and locally stored debugging information.

Tab Access

Used to associate captured tracking activity with the active browser tab.

These permissions are used only for the functionality described in this Privacy Policy.

User Control

Users have full control over when Tracking Debugger runs.

The Extension only captures debugging information when the user starts a recording or analysis session.

Users can stop recording at any time and clear stored debugging information through the Extension interface.

Security

We take reasonable measures to ensure that Tracking Debugger operates securely.

Because debugging information may contain data from websites being inspected, users should avoid sharing exported reports containing sensitive information unless they have permission to do so.

Children’s Privacy

Tracking Debugger is a developer and analytics tool and is not intended for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect improvements to the Extension or changes in requirements.

Any updates will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.

Summary

Tracking Debugger is designed as a local debugging tool.

Your tracking data stays in your browser.

We do not collect, store, transmit, or sell your debugging information
