Inspect Signals Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-10-04

Inspect Signals ("the extension") is a Chrome extension published by Ceyhun Aksan (DNOMIA). It shows the Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads requests a website sends, in Chrome's side panel, so the site's tracking setup can be checked. This policy explains what data the extension handles, where it keeps it and what it does not do.

Summary

The extension has no server. Nothing it reads leaves your browser.
It reads requests only on sites you grant one by one with the "Grant access" button.
Captured requests are deleted when you close the tab, press Clear or close the browser.
No analytics, no advertising, no tracking of you, no remote code.

What data the extension handles

Only on sites you have granted, the extension reads:

Requests sent to Google Analytics and Google Ads endpoints: their URL, body, status and timing. Depending on how the site is set up, these requests can carry the page URL and title, client and session identifiers, consent state, order ids, order values, product details and hashed email addresses or other user data the site chooses to send.
Page and frame addresses: the URL and load time of the pages and frames (iframes, Shopify app and custom pixel sandboxes) that sent those requests, so each request can be shown under the page and source it came from.

Chrome itself keeps the list of sites you granted; you can review or remove them in Chrome's extension settings.

The extension also stores your Flow view filter choices: the GA4 property and Google Ads account ids you chose to hide, saved per site.

Where the data is kept and for how long

Captured requests are kept in chrome.storage.session for the tab they came from, at most 1,500 per tab. Chrome holds this storage in memory. It is deleted when the tab closes, when you press Clear and when the browser closes.
Flow view filter choices are kept in chrome.storage.local until you change them or remove the extension.
Export saves the captured requests of a tab as a JSON file on your computer, only when you press it. What you do with that file is up to you.

What the extension does not do

It does not send any data to the publisher or to any third party. It contains no server calls, no analytics and no remote code.
It does not sell, rent or share user data.
It does not use data for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness or lending.
It does not block, change or redirect any request; it only observes.
It does not read page content, form fields, passwords or cookies.

Permissions

Permission	Why it is needed
`webRequest`	Read the URL, body and status of requests to Google Analytics and Google Ads. Requests are only observed.
`webNavigation`	Map each request to the page and frame that sent it and mark page loads.
`sidePanel`	Show the inspector next to the site.
`storage`	Keep captured requests for the tab (session storage) and Flow filter choices (local storage).
Google Analytics and Google Ads hosts	The endpoints whose requests are shown.
`https:///` (optional)	Asked for one site at a time when you press Grant access. Chrome reports a request only when the page that sent it is granted. Not granted at install.

Limited Use

The use of information received by Inspect Signals adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. User data is used only to provide the extension's single purpose, showing a site's GA4 and Google Ads requests to the person using the extension, and is never transferred, sold, used for advertising or read by people.

Changes

If the extension's data handling changes, this page will be updated before the new version is published, and the effective date above will change.
