Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 2026

TL;DR

EnvHub is a privacy-focused extension. All your data stays in your browser. We don't track you, collect analytics, or share any information with third parties. We don't even have servers to receive your data.

Overview

EnvHub is a browser extension that provides visual environment indicators for web development. This privacy policy explains how EnvHub handles your data.

We believe privacy is a fundamental right. EnvHub was designed from the ground up to respect your privacy and keep your data under your control.

What We Collect

Data We Store Locally

The following data is stored locally in your browser only:

  • Project configurations (names, URLs, environment settings)
  • Custom environment types and styling preferences
  • Global settings (enabled state, display preferences, theme)
  • Recent color selections

Data We Do NOT Collect

EnvHub does not collect, transmit, or share:

  • Personal information (name, email, etc.)
  • Browsing history
  • Website content
  • Analytics or usage data
  • IP addresses or device identifiers
  • Cookies or tracking data

Data Storage

All data is stored using your browser's built-in storage APIs:

Storage Type Purpose
chrome.storage.sync Settings that sync across your devices (via your browser account)
chrome.storage.local Local-only data that stays on this device

Your data never leaves your browser unless you have browser sync enabled, in which case it syncs through your browser's own sync mechanism (e.g., Chrome Sync). We have no access to this synced data.

Permissions Explained

EnvHub requests the following permissions, each with a specific purpose:

Permission Why We Need It
storage Store your project configurations and settings locally
activeTab Detect the current page URL to show the correct environment indicator
tabs Enable quick-switch between environment URLs
host permissions Display the indicator bar on sites you configure

Note: The extension only reads the URL of pages. It does not read or modify page content beyond injecting the visual indicator.

Third-Party Services

EnvHub does not use any third-party services, analytics platforms, or tracking tools. There are no external API calls, no telemetry, and no data sharing of any kind.

Your Data Rights

Export Your Data

You can export all your settings at any time through the extension's settings page. This gives you a complete copy of your data in JSON format.

Delete Your Data

Remove the extension from your browser to delete all stored data. Alternatively, clear extension data through your browser settings.

Children's Privacy

EnvHub is a developer tool not directed at children. Since we don't collect any personal information from anyone, we also don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
