Privacy Policy
Button Scroller
Effective Date: 5/14/2025
Button Scroller ("we", "our", or "us") is a Chrome extension designed to help users save and return to specific scroll positions on web pages. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your information.
Information We Collect
Button Scroller does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or browsing history to external servers.
However, the extension requires certain Chrome permissions to function properly:
-
"Read your browsing history" – This permission allows the extension to detect active tabs and save scroll positions specific to URLs. We do not access or store your full browsing history.
-
Site access – Button Scroller needs access to webpages to save and restore scroll positions locally. No site content is read, stored, or transmitted.
All data related to scroll positions is stored locally on your device and is not shared with us or any third party.
How We Use Your Data
We use the minimal data required solely to:
-
Save scroll positions for specific URLs.
-
Return to saved positions at your request.
This data never leaves your browser and is not used for analytics, advertising, or tracking.
Data Security
We prioritize your privacy and security. All saved data remains within your local Chrome browser storage and is not transmitted over the internet. We do not use external servers or cloud services.
Third-Party Access
Button Scroller does not share any personal or sensitive user data with third parties.
However, we may collect and share anonymous, aggregated usage statistics to help improve the extension, understand usage trends, or inform partners or third parties (e.g., for analytics, business development, or performance reporting).
We use Google Analytics to collect this anonymous usage data. Google may process this data on our behalf in accordance with their Privacy Policy. No personally identifiable information is collected or shared.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in functionality or compliance requirements. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this policy.
Usage Statistics
We may collect aggregate, anonymous usage data, such as the number of active users, to help us understand how the extension is being used. This data does not identify individual users and may be shared with third parties (e.g., for analytics, business reporting, or product improvement).
Analytics
We use **Google Analytics** to collect anonymous usage data about how the Button Scroller extension is used. This data helps us understand usage patterns and improve the extension’s functionality.
Google Analytics may collect information such as:
- Extension version
- Operating system and browser version
- Feature usage (e.g., number of scroll positions saved)
- General interaction data (e.g., clicks, errors)
This information is collected in aggregate and **does not include any personally identifiable information**.
