 # Privacy Practices for Contact Info Extractor Pro

## Single Purpose Description

Contact Info Extractor Pro is designed to help users efficiently extract and manage contact information (emails, phone numbers, and website URLs) from web pages. The extension processes webpage content locally to identify and extract contact details, which users can then export or copy to their clipboard.

## Permission Justifications

### 1. activeTab

**Purpose**: This permission allows the extension to access the active tab's content when the user clicks the extension icon.

**Usage**: We use this permission to scan the currently viewed webpage for contact information only when the user explicitly activates the extension.

### 2. clipboardWrite

**Purpose**: Enables copying extracted contact information to the clipboard.

**Usage**: This permission is used when users choose to copy extracted data to their clipboard for easy pasting into other applications.

### 3. downloads

**Purpose**: Allows saving extracted data as files (Excel/CSV).

**Usage**: This permission is used to create and save export files containing the extracted contact information to the user's default download folder.

### 4. Host Permissions (<all_urls>)

**Purpose**: Required to access and extract content from any webpage the user visits.

**Usage**: We use this permission to scan webpages for contact information. The extension only processes pages when activated by the user and does not access any pages without user interaction.

### 5. scripting

**Purpose**: Enables the execution of content scripts on web pages.

**Usage**: Used to inject and run the necessary scripts that analyze webpage content and extract contact information.

### 6. storage

**Purpose**: Allows storing user preferences and extracted data locally.

**Usage**: We use Chrome's local storage to save user settings and temporarily store extracted contact information during the current session.

### 7. tabs

**Purpose**: Enables interaction with browser tabs.

**Usage**: Used to detect the active tab and manage the extension's functionality across different tabs.

### 8. webNavigation

**Purpose**: Allows tracking navigation events.

**Usage**: Used to detect when the user navigates to a new page, ensuring the extension works correctly across page transitions.
