Privacy Policy

PixelRuler (“we”, “our”, or “the extension”) is a Chrome browser extension that provides Figma-style on-screen measurement, ruler, guide, and grid overlay tools for any website. It is designed to assist web designers, front-end developers, and UX professionals.

This Privacy Policy explains how PixelRuler handles information in connection with your use of the extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

By installing and using PixelRuler, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

PixelRuler does not collect any personal data.

Specifically, we do not collect, transmit, or have access to:

• Your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information (PII)
• Browser history or the URLs of pages you visit
• Content of web pages you view
• Keystrokes, mouse clicks, or any form of user input
• Screenshots or screen recordings
• Device identifiers or IP addresses
• Cookies or session data from websites you browse

No data is ever sent from your browser to any external server by this extension.

PixelRuler requests certain browser permissions to function correctly. Below is a transparent explanation of each permission and exactly why it is needed:

PixelRuler may save certain user preferences locally on your device using the Chrome Storage API (chrome.storage.local or chrome.storage.sync). This may include:

• Your preferred ruler or guide color
• Grid size and column settings
• Toggle states for various tool features

This data is stored only on your device. It is never transmitted to us or any third party. You can delete this data at any time by removing the extension from your browser.

PixelRuler does not integrate with, send data to, or rely on any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or tracking systems.

The extension operates entirely as a client-side tool with no network requests initiated by the extension itself. No external APIs are called. No third-party SDKs or libraries that collect data are included.

PixelRuler is a professional tool intended for web designers and developers. It is not directed at or designed for use by children under the age of 13.

Since the extension collects no personal data whatsoever, there is no risk of inadvertent data collection from any user, including minors.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the extension’s functionality or legal requirements. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of PixelRuler after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
