  We may collect technical data (e.g., URL and favicon) necessary for core functionality, like loading workflows or enabling automation features.

• Web Browsing Activity
  We may collect data about the websites you visit only to the extent necessary to power specific features (i.e., supporting domain-specific workflows).
  We do not track or use your browsing data for advertising or monetization.

• Data from Permissions

6. Permissions Used

Pline’s Chrome extension only requests the permissions necessary to deliver its core functionality. Here's a breakdown of the permissions used and why:

• activeTab – Allows the extension to access the currently active tab, enabling contextual workflows.

• scripting – We use scripting permission across all domains strictly for user-initiated workflows. We do not run any background scripts or automate actions without explicit user input or configuration.

• storage – Used to store user-created workflows, preferences, and local settings.

• tabs – Maintains the tab’s state after navigation or refresh, and supports the session-sharing feature in Browse & Capture.

• alarms – Implements a heartbeat mechanism for background tasks.

• cookies – Accesses cookies from our own domain to keep the extension synced with the platform.

7. Local Data Storage

• Users can clear local storage at any time via their browser settings. Additionally, workflows and session information maybe stored locally.

8. No Collection of Payment or Financial Information

We do not collect or store any payment details, credit card numbers, banking information, or financial authentication data directly. All financial transactions are securely handled by our trusted third-party provider, Chargebee.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our extension is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will take immediate steps to delete it.

10.Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The extension accesses cookies from our own domain solely to stay synced with the Pline platform and maintain a seamless user experience.
