Privacy Policy — On-Page SEO & Performance Lite

Plain-language summary: This Chrome extension audits only the active tab after the user clicks the audit button. Most audit data is processed locally. If PageSpeed Insights is enabled, the audited URL is sent to Google PageSpeed Insights. Agate Business Consulting does not receive audit data unless the user manually shares it.

1. Application covered by this policy

This Privacy Policy applies to On-Page SEO & Performance Lite (“Extension”, “Application”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), prepared by Agate Business Consulting.
