Badgerlytics DevTools — Chrome Extension Privacy

When you open the extension on a page that runs the Badgerlytics tracking script, it lets you inspect feature flags, audience traits, cookies, and a live feed of analytics events that the tracker is sending. You can also trigger test events and reset session state for debugging.

The extension does not send any information to Badgerlytics, Inc. or any third party. We do not operate analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry inside the extension. Opening the popup does not phone home.

The extension may store the following locally in Chrome's extension storage on your computer:

• Captured events — a rolling buffer (up to 500 items) of analytics payloads the tracker emitted while you had recording enabled. These are copies of data the tracker already sends to your configured Badgerlytics events endpoint.
• Recording preference — whether the events feed is actively recording.

When you use the Cookies or Traits tabs, the extension reads or modifies first-party Badgerlytics cookies and storage on the current tab only, only when you invoke the extension. That happens entirely in your browser.

The Badgerlytics tracking script on your page emits a devtools message immediately before it sends events to your events endpoint (for example events.badgerlytics.com). A minimal content script forwards those messages to the extension background worker, which saves them locally for the Events tab. The extension does not intercept or modify other website traffic.

The extension requests Chrome permissions solely to provide its features:

• activeTab — inspect and control the tracker on the tab you are viewing when you click the extension icon.
• cookies — read and delete Badgerlytics first-party cookies during debugging.
• scripting — read window.badgerlytics state from the page you are debugging.
• storage — keep the local events feed and your recording toggle.
• Host access— run a lightweight listener on pages so the tracker's devtools messages can reach the extension. The extension does not read unrelated page content.

• Use the Clear button on the Events tab to wipe captured events from local storage.
• Turn off Recording to stop adding new events to the buffer.
• Uninstall the extension at any time from chrome://extensions to remove all extension data from your browser.

This extension is separate from the Badgerlytics SaaS product privacy policy. Analytics data sent by the tracking script to your events endpoint is covered by our main Privacy Policy. The extension itself does not add a new data collection path to our servers.
