PRIVACY POLICY
Anti-Ragging College Picker Extension
Effective Date: July 17, 2026
Last Updated: October 31, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how the Anti-Ragging College Picker Chrome Extension ("the Extension", "we", "our") handles your information. The Extension is an open-source project distributed under the MIT License. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect, receive, or transmit any personal data.
The developers of the Extension never see your information. The Extension:
- Does not send personal information to us or to any server.
- Does not track your browsing history or activity.
- Does not use cookies or any tracking technologies.
- Does not communicate with any external servers or third-party services.
If you choose to save form details for auto-fill, those details stay only on your device. See section 5.
3. How the Extension Works
The Extension operates entirely within your browser:
- It reads the list of colleges and universities from dropdowns on the Anti-Ragging Portal.
- It displays a searchable list inside the extension popup.
- When you select a college, it sets the value of the dropdown on the page.
- If you previously saved form details, it can auto-fill those fields on later visits.
- All processing happens locally on your device — no data ever leaves your browser.
4. Permissions Used
The Extension requires the following Chrome permissions:
- activeTab: To interact with the currently active tab and read dropdown contents.
- scripting: To inject the content script that reads and sets dropdown values on the page.
- storage: To save and load optional auto-fill details on your device only.
The Extension also runs on antiragging.in and
www.antiragging.in so it can help you search colleges and fill those forms.
These permissions are used solely for the Extension's core functionality and nothing else.
5. Data Storage
Search results are generated in real time from the page and discarded when the popup is closed.
If you accept the save prompt after submitting a form, the Extension stores the values you
entered (such as name, contact details, college, and related form fields) in
Chrome's local storage (chrome.storage.local). That data:
- Remains on your device and is never uploaded or shared.
- Is used only to auto-fill the Anti-Ragging Portal the next time you use it.
- Can be deleted at any time with the Clear Saved Data button in the extension popup.
Uninstalling the Extension also removes this locally stored data.
6. Third-Party Services
The Extension does not integrate with, send data to, or receive data from any third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.
7. Children's Privacy
The Extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Any optional auto-fill data is stored only on the user's own device and is never transmitted.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
