🧾 Privacy Policy – Auto Refresher Pro
Last updated: October 2025
Developed by: TechBitan (Bitan Bhattachirjee)
🔹 1. Introduction
Welcome to Auto Refresher Pro, a browser extension developed by TechBitan.
We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains how our extension handles user data and what information (if any) is collected or transmitted.
🔹 2. Information We Do Not Collect
Auto Refresher Pro does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII).
We do not require you to sign in, create an account, or provide any personal details.
Specifically:
- We do not track browsing history.
- We do not collect names, email addresses, or passwords.
- We do not send any data to external servers.
- All settings and preferences are stored locally on your own device via your browser’s local storage or
chrome.storage.sync(part of Microsoft Edge and Chrome’s built-in API).
🔹 3. How the Extension Works
Auto Refresher Pro simply allows you to automatically reload a web page at a chosen time interval.
All actions occur locally in your browser.
The extension may use browser APIs (like tabs, storage, scripting, and notifications) — but these are used only to perform the refresh function and display notifications if enabled.
🔹 4. Permissions Used
Our extension may request the following permissions:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
tabs |
To reload the current tab or identify active websites |
storage |
To save your refresh settings and preferences locally |
notifications |
To show optional desktop notifications after a refresh |
scripting |
To inject a simple refresh command |
offscreen |
To enable short sound playback during refresh (if you turn that feature on) |
➡️ None of these permissions are used to collect user data or share information externally.
🔹 5. Third-Party Services
Auto Refresher Pro does not use any third-party analytics, tracking scripts, or ad networks.
No information is shared with external entities.
🔹 6. Data Storage
All user preferences (like refresh interval, website list, theme mode, sound/notification settings) are saved only within your browser’s local or synced storage.
You can remove all data anytime by uninstalling the extension or clearing browser data.
🔹 7. Security
Although Auto Refresher Pro does not process personal data, we maintain strict standards to ensure a secure and transparent user experience.
Our code is open to review by Microsoft Edge Add-ons reviewers before publication.
🔹 8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Any updates will be posted on this page with the revised “Last Updated” date.
