Short version: Lume CSS Selector does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data — ever. All processing happens locally inside your browser's DevTools. No servers. No tracking. No analytics.
1. What Is Lume CSS Selector?
Lume CSS Selector is a Chrome DevTools extension that adds a sidebar panel to the Elements tab. It helps developers and QA engineers build CSS selectors by clicking on element attributes in the inspected page.
2. Data Collection
This extension does not collect any personal data. Specifically, we do not collect:
- Names, email addresses, or contact information
- Browsing history or visited URLs
- Page content from the websites you inspect
- CSS selectors you build or copy
- Crash reports or usage analytics
- Device identifiers or IP addresses
3. How the Extension Works
Lume CSS Selector operates entirely within your local browser environment:
- It reads the DOM of the page you are actively inspecting in Chrome DevTools using the standard
chrome.devtools.inspectedWindow.eval()API. - All selector building, element highlighting, and match counting happen locally in your browser — no data leaves your machine.
- It uses the DevTools
$0reference (the currently selected element) to display element attributes. This information is never stored or transmitted. - The CSS selector you build is only written to your clipboard when you explicitly click the Copy button.
4. Data Storage
Lume CSS Selector does not use:
- Cookies
chrome.storage(local or sync)localStorageorsessionStorage- IndexedDB or any other persistent storage
All state (selected chips, current selector, match count) exists only in memory while DevTools is open and is discarded when you close DevTools or navigate to a new page.
5. Network Requests
Lume CSS Selector makes zero network requests. It does not contact any external server, API, or third-party service. There is no telemetry, no remote configuration, and no update check performed by the extension itself.
6. Permissions
The extension requires no special browser permissions beyond what is necessary to operate
as a Chrome DevTools extension. It does not request access to tabs,
history, cookies, identity, or any other
sensitive permission. It does not use host permissions.
7. Third-Party Services
Lume CSS Selector does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or crash reporting tools.
8. Children's Privacy
This extension is a developer tool intended for professional use. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
9. Changes to This Policy
If we ever update this privacy policy, the updated version will be published at this URL with a revised "Last updated" date. Since the extension collects no data, we do not anticipate substantive changes.
