# Privacy Policy for Accessibility Persona Lens

**Last updated:** January 2026

## Overview

Accessibility Persona Lens is a browser extension that helps designers and developers understand accessibility barriers by simulating aspects of different conditions. This privacy policy explains how the extension handles your data.

## Data Collection

**We do not collect any personal data.**

The extension does not:
- Collect or transmit any personal information
- Track your browsing history
- Send any data to external servers
- Use analytics or tracking tools
- Store any data outside your browser

## Local Storage

The extension uses Chrome's local storage API (`chrome.storage.local`) solely to remember your selected persona preference between browser sessions. This data:
- Is stored entirely on your device
- Never leaves your browser
- Contains only your persona selection (e.g., "Claudia enabled")
- Can be cleared at any time by uninstalling the extension or clearing browser data

## Permissions

The extension requests the following permissions:

| Permission | Purpose |
|------------|---------|
| `activeTab` | To apply visual simulations to the current webpage |
| `storage` | To remember your selected persona preference locally |
| `scripting` | To inject simulation styles and scripts into webpages |

These permissions are used exclusively to provide the core functionality of the extension. No data accessed through these permissions is collected, stored externally, or shared.

## Third-Party Services

This extension does not integrate with any third-party services, APIs, or analytics platforms.

## Open Source

The simulation techniques used in this extension are adapted from the [GOV.UK Accessibility Personas](https://alphagov.github.io/accessibility-personas/), which are published under open licences by the Government Digital Service.

## Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this document.
