Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-17

Scope

This policy covers the SEO Audit Kit browser extension and its website at https://seoauditkit.mongooselabs.dev, both published by Mongoose Labs. It explains what data the extension handles, why, and the choices you have.

Summary

Browser permissions and how they are used

SEO Audit Kit requests the following browser permissions. Each one exists to support a user-facing feature, never to gather data:

Sites the extension communicates with

The extension is permitted to communicate with the following sites, plus the optional access described below that you grant explicitly:

Optional site access for the broken-link checker

The Pro broken-link checker can ask for an additional, optional permission to access other websites (http://*/* and https://*/*). This permission is never granted at install time. The extension asks for it the first time you run a link check on a page that links to other sites, and you can decline and still check same-site links. When granted, it is used for exactly one thing: sending one request per link on the page you are auditing, from your browser, to find broken links. The responses are shown to you and stored only on your device. You can revoke this access at any time from the extension options page or at chrome://extensions.

Payments

Paid upgrades are handled by ExtensionPay (extensionpay.com), which uses Stripe to process payments. When you upgrade, ExtensionPay and Stripe receive the information needed to complete the purchase, such as your email address and payment details. We never see or store your card details. We receive only your license status and the email address associated with it, which we use to unlock paid features and provide support.

The extension periodically contacts extensionpay.com to confirm your license. If you are offline, your last known license is kept on your device and honored for a short grace period.

Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service, to understand how the extension is used in aggregate. Events are limited to product milestones such as install, first use, and upgrade. They contain no page content, no browsing history, and no personal information, and Plausible does not use cookies or store IP addresses in a way that can identify you.

You can opt out of analytics at any time in the extension’s options page. The opt-out takes effect immediately and is respected by every event the extension would otherwise send.

Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade any data. We do not transfer data to third parties other than the service providers named above, and only as needed to operate the extension. We do not use or transfer data to determine creditworthiness, for lending purposes, or for personalized advertising. Our use of data complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Data retention and deletion

Content and settings stored by the extension live in your browser profile and are removed when you uninstall the extension or clear extension data. License records held by ExtensionPay persist so your purchase can be restored; contact us to have them deleted.

To request deletion of anything we hold, email [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.

Security

All communication between the extension and the services above uses encrypted HTTPS connections. The extension requests the minimum permissions needed for its features.

Children

SEO Audit Kit is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date at the top. Material changes that affect what data is handled will also be called out in the extension’s release notes.
