Privacy Policy | Auto History Wipe

1. Introduction

Welcome to Auto History Wipe. This Privacy Policy explains how the Auto History Wipe Chrome extension and its associated website handle information. By installing or using our extension, you agree to this policy.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Auto History Wipe is designed with privacy as its core principle. We do not collect: your browsing history, the websites you visit, your cookies or cached data, passwords or form data, personal identification information, IP addresses, device identifiers, or usage analytics. The extension performs all data deletion locally on your device without any data being sent to our servers.

3. How the Extension Works

The extension uses Chrome's browsingData API to delete browser data. This process occurs entirely within your browser on your device. No data is transmitted to any external server. The extension communicates only with Chrome's local browser API to perform cleaning operations.

4. Information We Collect on This Website

When you submit a contact form on our website, we collect: your name, email address, and message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not share, sell, or use contact information for any other purpose. Contact data is stored securely in our database.

5. Permissions

Auto History Wipe requests the following Chrome permissions: browsingData (to delete browser history and data), storage (to save your extension preferences locally). These permissions are used only for the extension's core functionality and are never used to collect or transmit data.

6. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to remember your preferences (such as theme setting and cookie consent). We also use Google Analytics (GA4) to analyze aggregate website traffic — this collects anonymous data such as page views, session duration, and approximate location. No personally identifiable information is collected through cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through the cookie notice banner or your browser settings.

7. Third-Party Services

The extension itself does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. Our website uses Google Analytics (GA4) for anonymous traffic analysis and Web3Forms for secure contact form processing. These services have their own privacy policies. No data from the extension is shared with any third-party service.

8. Data Retention

Since the extension does not collect data, there is no extension data to retain. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and are then deleted.

9. Children's Privacy

Auto History Wipe does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. The extension is not directed at children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
