Image Inspector Browser Extension

Publisher: BudBreak Creative
Product: Image Inspector (Chrome browser extension)
Effective date: April 19, 2026

I. Summary

Image Inspector does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal information or browsing data. Everything the extension does happens locally in your browser, on demand, only on the tab you explicitly activate it on.

If you are looking for the short answer: we don't collect anything.

II. What the Extension Does

Image Inspector is a browser tool for inspecting images on a web page. When you click its toolbar icon to turn it on, it lets you hover over images on that page and see information about them — filename, dimensions, file size, file type, and aspect ratio — and download the image with one click. When you click the icon again to turn it off, it removes itself from the page.

That is the extension's only purpose. It is not used for anything else.

III. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, log, or transmit any of the following:

  • Your name, email address, or any other personal identifier
  • The URLs or contents of pages you visit
  • The images you inspect or download
  • Your IP address
  • Cookies, browsing history, or session data
  • Telemetry, analytics, crash reports, or usage metrics
  • Any account credentials (the extension has no accounts and no sign-in)

The extension does not connect to any BudBreak Creative server, third-party analytics service, advertising network, or any other remote service operated by us or anyone else.

IV. Information the Extension Does Use Locally

While the extension is active on a tab, it reads information from that tab in order to do its job. This information stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere by the extension.

Specifically, while active, the extension:

  1. Reads the HTML, attributes, and computed styles of elements on the active page in order to find image elements (<img>, <picture>, <video poster>, and CSS background-image).
  2. Loads the image you are hovering over into a hidden in-memory Image() object so that the browser can report its natural pixel dimensions.
  3. Sends an HTTP HEAD request to the image's URL — the same server that already served the image to your browser — in order to read its Content-Type and Content-Length headers. No request is made to any other server. If that request is blocked by the image server's CORS policy, the extension instead reads the size from the browser's built-in Performance timing data and infers the file type from the URL's file extension.
  4. When you click the Download button, fetches the image's bytes from the same image URL and saves them to your computer using your browser's standard download mechanism.

None of this information is retained after you stop hovering, leave the page, or deactivate the extension.

V. Permissions and Why They Are Needed

Image Inspector requests two narrowly-scoped Chrome permissions and no host permissions:

  • activeTab — Grants the extension temporary access to the tab you are currently on, only when you click the extension's icon. This permission expires automatically when you switch tabs, navigate to a new page, or close the tab. It is the minimum permission required for the extension to read the page you are inspecting.
  • scripting — Required by Chrome's Manifest V3 in order to inject the extension's inspection script and stylesheet into the active tab when you turn the extension on, and to remove them when you turn it off. The injected files are bundled inside the extension itself; no script is downloaded from a remote source at any time.

The extension does not request access to all websites, your browsing history, your cookies, your downloads, your storage, your tabs as a group, or any other broad permission.

VI. Storage

The extension does not use Chrome's storage APIs (chrome.storage, localStorage, sessionStorage, or IndexedDB). It maintains no preferences, no history, no cache, and no per-site configuration. Each time you activate it, it starts in a clean state.

VII. Third Parties

  • We do not share any information with third parties, because we do not collect any.
  • The extension does not embed third-party SDKs, trackers, advertising scripts, or analytics libraries.
  • The extension does not load remote code at runtime.

VIII. Children's Privacy

Image Inspector is a general-purpose developer tool. It is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.

IX. Changes to This Policy

If we ever change what the extension does in a way that affects this policy, we will update the Effective date at the top and post the revised policy at the same URL where this one is hosted. Material changes will also be reflected in a new version of the extension on the Chrome Web Store.

X. Compliance Affirmations (Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies)

In accordance with the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, BudBreak Creative affirms that:

  1. The use of any user data is consistent with the disclosures in this Privacy Policy.
  2. We do not sell user data to third parties.
  3. We do not transfer user data to third parties for purposes unrelated to the extension's single purpose.
  4. We do not use or transfer user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
  5. The extension's single purpose is image inspection on the active web page, as described in Section II above.
