Privacy Policy for CodeStepByStep Drawing Panel

Effective Date: April 20, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the CodeStepByStep Drawing PanelChrome Extension ("the Extension"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a safe, secure experience while using our Extension. This document explains our data practices, what information is collected, how it is used, and your rights regarding this information in compliance with the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies.

Information Collection

The Extension operates strictly as a client-side tool that adds drawing and annotation capabilities directly to your browser while viewing problems on codestepbystep.com.

We do NOT collect, store, transmit, or process any of your personal data, browser activity, or drawing contents.

  • Personal Information: We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or IP addresses.
  • Usage Data: We do not track, log, or send any analytics or usage data to external servers.
  • Content: The shapes, lines, text, and other annotations you create using the drawing panel are processed entirely within your local browser.

Data Usage

Because we do not collect any data, there is no data to use or exploit. The Extension operates exclusively within the confines of your local machine. Its sole purpose is to enhance the user interface on the codestepbystep.com website by providing a local drawing area.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any user information with third parties. Since no data is collected, harvested, or transmitted from your device to our servers or any third-party services, your usage remains completely private.

Permissions Required

To function correctly, the Extension requests the following basic permissions in the Chrome browser:

  • Host Permission (https://codestepbystep.com/r/problem/view*): The Extension requires access to the CodeStepByStep domain to inject the drawing panel interface, scripts, and CSS into the page layout strictly when you are on a problem view page.

Data Security and Storage

Your drawing data and strokes are managed directly by your browser's memory and potentially standard browser storage mechanisms (e.g., local storage) locally on your device to persist drawings between reloads. No data leaves your machine. We recommend securing your device and browser to protect your locally stored data.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time if the functionality of the Extension changes and requires different data handling practices. If we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this document and provide relevant updates through the Chrome Web Store.
