Strict Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 2026
TrueScale for Chrome was built with an uncompromising commitment to privacy. We believe your browser belongs to you, and absolutely none of your personal data belongs to us.
1. Zero Remote Telemetry & Tracking
The TrueScale extension does not collect, transmit, or monitor an ounce of your personal data. We do not use Google Analytics, we do not log your interactions, and we do not track your IP address. We do not run servers, meaning it is technically impossible for us to harvest your data.
2. 100% Local Storage
Your API key, preferred media type, visual preferences, and search queries are stored solely on your own computer using Chrome's secure local storage (`chrome.storage.local`). This data is never synced to Google's cloud servers, our servers, or any third party.
3. Secure Third-Party API Calls (Pexels)
To fetch beautiful backgrounds, TrueScale requires you to provide your own
Pexels API key. The extension makes secure HTTPS requests directly from your browser to the
api.pexels.com domain. The only data transmitted is your search query and your personal API
key. We never intercept, log, or proxy these requests. Please refer to the Pexels Privacy Policy for information on how they handle API
requests.
4. Transparency & Contact
Our extension code is minified for performance but completely un-obfuscated. Tech-savvy users are encouraged to inspect the source code directly via Chrome DevTools to independently verify every claim made in this document.
