Data risks
The extension can log user activity, display the activity in a popup, and store the activity in a CSV file. This activity can include personal data. Depending on the kind and sensitivity of the data, its unintended disclosure could have adverse consequences for the user or others. Therefore, care should be taken in deciding what kinds of tasks to record. If personal or other sensitive data is stored to a file, care should be taken to protect the file, for example, through encryption, physical security, and other methods.
How we handle your data
No automatic data collection
The extension does not transmit any personal data to us or to any third parties. We do not use the extension or website to collect any personal data.
Data use
If you send us your personal data by other means, we will use it to contact you. We may also use it for the purpose for which it was sent. For example, if you file a bug report, we will use the data you send us to improve the extension. If you submit to us a course assignment that uses the extension, we will use the data you send us to grade the assignment. If you participate in a research study, we will use the data for the purposes described in the study information sheet when you give informed consent. We will not use your data for purposes other than those stated in this privacy policy.
Take care not to send us sensitive personal data (e.g., a credit card or social security number). Before sending us any files or other attachments, remove anything sensitive. If we encounter sensitive personal data, we will delete it.
Data protection
We will make all reasonable efforts to keep your personal data secure and to avoid transmitting it to an insecure location. However, we cannot guarantee its absolute security because no method of transmission across the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
Duration
We will keep your personal data only as long as needed for the purposes stated in this privacy policy.
No sale or transfer
We will not sell your data to anyone. We will not transfer your data to third parties except for the following reasons: to comply with federal and state laws and regulations, institutional regulations and policies, valid requests from law enforcement, and other legal obligations; to protect and defend our rights and property; to protect ourselves from a legal liability; to prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing related to the extension or website; and to protect users and the public's safety.
Legal jurisdiction
By sending us your personal data, you agree that it may be transferred to computers outside of your legal jurisdiction where different data protection laws may apply.
Children's privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13, and we will remove it if we become aware of having collected it without the consent of the child's parent or guardian. Please contact us if your child has provided us with personal data.
Extension use by third parties
If a usability professional, researcher, instructor, or other third party uses the extension to record user data, the user must be provided the opportunity to give informed consent before being recorded. The user must know what is being recorded and when, how it will be used, how it is being safeguarded (e.g., encryption, firewall), whether it is being shared, and under what circumstances.
We are not responsible for any use or misuse of the extension by third parties. We are also not responsible for the content, practices, and privacy policies of third-party websites, applications, or services including those that use or purport to use this extension or website.
Privacy policy updates
If we change this privacy policy, we will post on this page the new privacy policy and the date on which it was last updated. Once posted, changes come into effect. The privacy policy should be reviewed before continued use of the extension and website.
