🔒 Summary

ShovelShare does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

This extension is designed to help users share the current browser tab's URL to Digg.com only after receiving explicit user consent. All processing happens locally within your browser.

🧠 What We Access

• Current tab’s URL
  This is accessed only after you opt-in via a checkbox in the popup interface.
  It is used solely to pre-fill the Digg share form.
  It is never stored, tracked, or sent anywhere else.

❌ What We Don't Do

• ❌ We do not track browsing behavior
• ❌ We do not collect or sell any user data
• ❌ We do not communicate with remote servers
• ❌ We do not use cookies, analytics, or background tracking

✅ Permissions Used

• "tabs" – to read the current tab's URL (only with your consent)
• "storage" – to save whether you’ve opted in (so you don’t have to re-consent every time)
• "host_permissions" – to run a content script on https://beta.digg.com/d/new-post* in order to fill the form
• "management" – to provide an "uninstall" button within the add-on, as required for user convenience and control.
