Chrome Web Store Data Usage Mapping
This page maps Flerapii behavior to Chrome Web Store data-usage disclosures so listing answers stay consistent with implementation.
Purpose
- Prevent mismatches between dashboard answers and real extension behavior.
- Keep privacy policy, in-product disclosures, and store listing aligned.
- Provide reviewer-friendly evidence for internal audits and appeal packets.
Data Handling Summary
| Topic | Actual behavior |
|---|---|
| Default storage | Local-first: data is stored in browser extension storage by default. |
| External transmission | Only when user explicitly configures/uses related features (relay endpoint calls, WebDAV backup/sync, optional verification/protection flows). |
| First-party telemetry | Not used. |
| Advertising trackers | Not used. |
| Data sale | Not used. |
Disclosure Mapping (What to Confirm in Dashboard)
| Disclosure area | What must be true in listing answers |
|---|---|
| Privacy policy URL | Must exactly match: https://flerapii.riteshrana.engineer/privacy.html |
| Data collection/use narrative | Must state local-first default and user-configured external transmissions only. |
| Sharing/transfers | Must not imply third-party sharing beyond user-directed endpoint interactions. |
| Security wording | Must avoid absolute claims like "never transmitted" or "fully offline" for all scenarios. |
Permission/Behavior Evidence Pointers
- Manifest and permission scope:
wxt.config.ts - Privacy policy source of truth:
PRIVACY.md - Store submission process:
docs/docs/chrome-web-store-submission.md - Operational checklist:
privacy/chrome-web-store-privacy-checklist.md
Red-Flag Claims to Avoid
- "No network usage" (incorrect when optional integrations are used)
- "Never uploads any data under any condition" (incorrect)
- "Runs fully offline in all modes" (incorrect)
Use precise wording:
- "Local-first by default"
- "External traffic occurs only for features you configure/use"
Pre-Submit Validation
- Re-read current CWS questionnaire answers.
- Compare each answer against this mapping and
wxt.config.ts. - Confirm policy URL, listing text, and in-app privacy notice are consistent.
- Capture screenshots of final listing answers for audit trail.
