QAKit Toolbox — last updated 2026-06-05

QAKit Toolbox is a Chrome extension that bundles offline developer and QA utilities (JSON, JWT, regex, hashes, timestamps, UUIDs, base64/URL, text diff, clipboard history, color picker, screenshot annotator).

TL;DR. We do not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. Ever. Everything QAKit Toolbox does happens locally on your device. No data is sent to our servers — we do not even operate any servers.

What data we handle

The extension only reads and writes data on your own device via chrome.storage.local, which is sandboxed to this extension.

Data	Purpose	Stays on
Your settings (theme, language, onboarding flag)	Preserve UI preferences	Your device
Clipboard history you save in the side panel	The "Clipboard history" tool	Your device
Color picker history	The "Color picker" tool	Your device
Locally generated install id and session counter	Internal local usage stats only	Your device
Page screenshots you capture in the Screenshot tool	Annotation and download	Your device

We do not:

Send any data to remote servers.
Use analytics, advertising, or fingerprinting libraries.
Track your browsing history, tabs, or page contents.
Read content from web pages (unless you actively press "Capture tab" in the Screenshot tool, which uses Chrome's captureVisibleTab API to take one PNG of the currently visible tab on your request).
Share data with third parties — there are no third parties involved.

Permissions we request and why

storage — to save your settings and tool history locally.
sidePanel — to render the extension UI in Chrome's side panel.
activeTab + <all_urls> (host permission) — only used by chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab in the Screenshot tool when you press "Capture tab". No scripts are injected into pages, no page contents are read or transmitted.
scripting — reserved for future on-page tools; currently unused at runtime.
clipboardRead / clipboardWrite — to read your clipboard when you press "Save clipboard" inside the side panel, and to copy results from tools (JSON, hashes, UUIDs, etc.) back to your clipboard.

Exporting and deleting your data

Export — Settings → Data → Export settings downloads a JSON file containing everything we store locally.
Delete — Settings → Data → Clear all history removes clipboard and color picker history. Uninstalling the extension removes everything Chrome keeps for the extension, including local storage.

Children

QAKit Toolbox is a developer tool not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the new version will be published at the same URL with an updated "Last updated" date. Material changes will be announced in the release notes on the Chrome Web Store listing.
