Pixelgrade Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 14, 2026
Pixelgrade is a browser extension that adds on-page measurement tools such as selection overlays, guides, rulers, and tape measurements.
What Pixelgrade accesses
Pixelgrade runs on pages you open so it can inspect layout geometry and render measurement overlays on top of those pages. It needs page access to detect element bounds, spacing, and guide positions.
What Pixelgrade stores
Pixelgrade stores extension state locally on your device, including:
- whether the extension is enabled or disabled,
- guide positions, measurement overlays, and toolbar position,
- page-specific overlay state scoped to the current site origin.
This data is stored using chrome.storage.local. When that API
is unavailable in a non-extension environment, the underlying library may
fall back to local browser storage for the current page.
What Pixelgrade does not do
- Pixelgrade does not send your browsing data to a remote server.
- Pixelgrade does not sell or share personal information.
- Pixelgrade does not use analytics, ads, or tracking pixels.
- Pixelgrade does not collect account credentials, payment data, or form submissions.
Data sharing
Pixelgrade does not share user data with third parties.
Data retention and control
Stored extension state remains on your device until you clear it by disabling the extension, removing the extension, clearing browser storage, or resetting the relevant page data.
