Privacy Policy – NexDirectory Scanner Chrome Extension

1. Scope

This policy applies to the NexDirectory Scanner Chrome extension and related extension functionality only.

2. Information Processed by the Extension

The Extension does not collect personal data for NexDirectory’s own analytics, profiling, or marketing.

When used, the Extension processes:

• User-provided configuration values stored locally in your browser: WordPress site URL, Extension App Pass, Optional OpenAI API key, and Import preferences/settings.
• User-triggered page scan/import content from pages you choose: URL, title, visible content, metadata, media/document links, and extracted listing/event fields.
• Operational local data: Draft values, bulk import URL queue, and local logs/diagnostics.

3. How Information Is Used

Information is processed only to provide extension features, including:

• scanning pages you explicitly choose;
• extracting structured listing/event data;
• sending selected data to your configured WordPress/NexDirectory endpoint for import;
• optionally sending selected content to OpenAI APIs when you enable AI extraction/translation;
• storing settings and drafts locally so you do not lose your workflow.

4. Chrome Permissions (and Why They Are Needed)

• storage Save local settings, drafts, logs, and workflow preferences.
• activeTab Access the active tab only when you initiate scan/import actions.
• scripting Run bundled scanner logic on selected pages.
• tabs Support active-tab operations and bulk import tab automation.
• sidePanel Provide the extension UI.
• <all_urls> Host permission: Required so scanning works on user-selected websites and URL lists.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell personal data.

Data may be transmitted to:

• Your configured WordPress/NexDirectory site (for import/connector actions).
• OpenAI APIs only if you enable AI features and provide an API key.

The extension does not load or execute remote code. Executable extension code is bundled with the extension.

6. Data Storage and Retention

Extension settings, logs, queues, and drafts are stored locally in Chrome extension storage until removed by you, extension reset, or uninstall.

Imported content and server-side records are stored by your own WordPress site, under your site’s retention and security controls.

7. Security

We apply reasonable safeguards for extension operation. No transmission or storage method is guaranteed 100% secure. You are responsible for securing your WordPress environment, credentials, and API keys.

8. GDPR Notice

For users in the EEA/UK, NexDirectory acts as a controller for support/contact data and as a processor only where applicable to services you configure. The Extension itself is designed to minimize data collection and does not run NexDirectory behavioral analytics.

Your website may use separate analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics) under your site policy and consent setup.

You may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction by contacting us at the email below.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Extension is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children through the Extension.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted at:
