Border Patrol is a developer tool — nothing more. It does not have a backend, does not create accounts, and does not communicate with any server. This policy explains what the extension accesses and why, in plain language.
The short version
Border Patrol collects absolutely no personal data. Everything the extension does happens locally in your browser. No information about you, the pages you visit, or your debugging sessions is ever sent anywhere.
What the extension accesses
To do its job, Border Patrol reads the DOM structure of the active tab. This is how it draws outlines around elements, computes margin and padding overlays, and displays inspector data. This access is scoped to the current tab and is never stored beyond your browser session, and never transmitted.
The screenshot feature uses Chrome's built-in capture API via an offscreen document. The image is rendered in memory and immediately downloaded to your device. No screenshot data is held in extension storage or sent anywhere.
Local storage
The extension uses chrome.storage.local to remember your preferences between sessions — things like your chosen border size, style, and which features are active. This data lives only in your browser. It is never synced to a server, and SeaSav Labs Inc. has no access to it.
This website
This landing page is a static Next.js site. It does not use cookies, tracking pixels, session identifiers, or any analytics service. There is no login, no form submission, and no data collected from visitors.
Third parties
Border Patrol has no third-party integrations. It does not include advertising SDKs, crash reporting services, or telemetry of any kind.
Open source & transparency
Border Patrol is open source and developed in the open at github.com/seasav/border-patrol. The source code is public so the community can audit exactly what the extension does, report issues, and contribute improvements. The code and all Border Patrol branding remain the property of SeaSav Labs Inc.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change this policy, the updated version will be posted here with a revised date. Given that Border Patrol does not collect data, we don't anticipate meaningful changes.
