This Privacy Policy explains how the "WhatsApp Unread Dashboard" Chrome extension handles information. We are committed to ensuring your privacy and data security.

1. Information Collection and Use

The WhatsApp Unread Dashboard extension operates entirely within your local browser.

• Local Processing Only: The extension scans your active WhatsApp Web tab locally to count unread messages and display them in a dashboard.
• No Server Transmission: We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal information, chat messages, contact lists, or browser history to external servers, third parties, or the developer.
• Local Storage: Any user preferences or lists of tracked groups are stored locally on your device using Chrome's secure chrome.storage.local API.

2. Permissions Required and Why

• storage: To save your dashboard configurations and preferences locally.
• activeTab & tabs: To locate your open WhatsApp Web tab so the dashboard can run.
• scripting: To render the dashboard layout on the WhatsApp Web interface.
• alarms: To check for unread counts periodically in the background.
• Host Permission (https://web.whatsapp.com/): Necessary to access the WhatsApp Web interface and read unread badges.

3. Data Security

Because all processing is done locally on your computer, your data is protected by your local system and browser security controls. No data is sent over the internet by this extension.

4. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted on this page.

5. Contact

If you have any questions or require support, please contact the developer via the support and feedback channel on the Chrome Web Store listing.
