Privacy summary

Color on the page, control with the user

chromafall wash is designed around a user-triggered full-page visual effect. The extension uses active-tab access and scripting to apply the wash after user interaction and uses browser storage to retain supported settings locally.

01

Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how information is accessed, processed, stored, and handled when you install or use the chromafall wash browser extension.

chromafall wash applies a bright full-page rainbow wash effect to the active webpage. The effect cycles through colors and may be customized using controls for strength and shimmer speed.

Users access the controls through the extension's toolbar popup, and the declared visual effect is applied after user interaction.

This Privacy Policy applies to chromafall wash itself and does not govern unrelated websites, browser vendors, operating systems, or independent third-party services.

02

Single Purpose

chromafall wash has a focused single purpose: providing a customizable ambient rainbow wash across the webpage selected by the user.

Functionality reasonably related to this purpose may include:

  • Displaying a full-page color overlay;
  • Cycling through rainbow colors;
  • Creating shimmer transitions;
  • Adjusting effect strength;
  • Adjusting shimmer speed;
  • Enabling or disabling the wash;
  • Applying the effect to the active tab;
  • Removing the effect when requested; and
  • Saving customization settings locally.
03

No Account Required

chromafall wash does not require users to create a dedicated account in order to use its standard visual functionality.

Users do not need to provide a username, password, email address, personal profile, or other identity information simply to activate or customize the effect.

04

Browser Permissions

chromafall wash declares browser permissions necessary to provide its user-triggered visual functionality and preserve extension settings.

activeTab Provides temporary access to the currently active browser tab after the user invokes the extension.
scripting Allows chromafall wash to execute the code necessary to apply, update, or remove the declared rainbow wash effect.
storage Allows extension settings to be saved locally in the user's browser.
05

activeTab Permission

chromafall wash uses the activeTab permission only when the user invokes the extension on the currently active tab.

This temporary access enables the extension to apply its declared visual effect to the page the user is viewing.

The permission is not intended to provide permanent access to every website visited by the user.

User-triggered page access

The active tab is accessed in connection with an intentional extension action initiated by the user.

06

scripting Permission

chromafall wash uses the scripting permission to run code required for the declared rainbow wash effect.

Script execution may be used to:

  • Create the visual overlay;
  • Apply color transitions;
  • Control shimmer animation;
  • Adjust effect intensity;
  • Apply updated settings;
  • Maintain the effect while active; and
  • Remove the effect when requested.

The scripting permission is intended to support chromafall wash's disclosed visual feature rather than unrelated monitoring.

07

Full-Page Rainbow Wash

chromafall wash creates a full-page ambient color effect across the active webpage.

The extension may create one or more visual layers that cover or blend with the viewport to produce the rainbow wash described in the extension listing.

The purpose of these visual layers is decorative and user-facing.

08

Color Cycling

The wash may cycle through multiple hues to create a continuously changing rainbow effect.

Functional animation values may include:

Color state Used to determine the current colors displayed by the wash.
Transition progress Used to interpolate between successive colors.
Animation timing Used to coordinate the visual color cycle.
Overlay state Used to determine whether the effect is currently active.
09

Effect Strength

Users may adjust the visual strength or intensity of the rainbow wash.

The selected value may affect opacity, blend intensity, brightness, saturation, or another visual property supported by the extension.

Effect-strength values are functional settings used only to provide the visual result requested by the user.

10

Shimmer Speed

chromafall wash allows users to adjust the speed of its shimmer or color-transition movement.

Shimmer-speed values may determine animation duration, transition timing, movement frequency, or another related visual parameter.

These values are not personally identifying information.

11

Temporary Visual State

While the rainbow wash is active, chromafall wash may temporarily maintain information necessary to display the current effect.

Temporary state may include:

  • Current color values;
  • Transition progress;
  • Effect intensity;
  • Shimmer speed;
  • Animation timing;
  • Overlay state;
  • Activation state; and
  • Other visual rendering parameters.
12

storage Permission

chromafall wash uses the storage permission to save extension settings locally in the user's browser.

Local storage allows the extension to remember supported customization settings for future use.

Locally stored preferences

Settings are retained in browser extension storage for convenience rather than requiring users to configure the effect from scratch each time.

13

Settings That May Be Stored

Locally stored extension information may include non-sensitive functional settings such as:

  • Preferred effect strength;
  • Preferred shimmer speed;
  • Enabled or disabled state;
  • Visual preferences;
  • Animation settings; and
  • Other configuration values directly related to the rainbow wash.

Such values are intended to support extension functionality and not unrelated advertising profiling.

14

Local Data Retention

Settings stored through the browser's extension-storage system may remain locally until they are changed, cleared, or removed.

Depending on browser behavior, extension settings may also be removed when chromafall wash is uninstalled or when extension data is manually cleared.

15

Interaction With the Active Page

chromafall wash interacts with the active webpage in order to display its ambient full-page effect.

Such interaction is intended to be limited to what is reasonably necessary to create, update, animate, and remove the visual wash.

The extension's purpose does not require creating a general archive of webpage content.

16

Website Content

chromafall wash is not designed to collect or archive general webpage content merely because the visual effect is displayed on that page.

Unrelated webpage text, images, videos, forms, documents, and other site content are not required to determine effect strength or shimmer speed.

17

Browsing History

chromafall wash does not require a complete history of websites visited by the user in order to provide its visual functionality.

The extension is not intended to maintain a historical browsing profile for advertising or unrelated behavioral analysis.

18

Search History

General search engine history is not required to display or animate the rainbow wash.

Search queries performed on unrelated websites are not needed for the extension's declared functionality.

19

Web Forms and Keystrokes

chromafall wash is not designed to collect information entered into forms on unrelated websites.

This includes:

  • Login forms;
  • Registration forms;
  • Payment forms;
  • Checkout forms;
  • Contact forms;
  • Search fields; and
  • Other unrelated webpage inputs.

The extension is also not intended to record unrelated keystrokes.

20

Personal Information

chromafall wash does not require personally identifiable information in order to provide its standard functionality.

Users do not need to provide:

  • Full name;
  • Email address;
  • Phone number;
  • Postal address;
  • Government identification information;
  • Payment card information;
  • Banking credentials;
  • Passwords;
  • Authentication tokens; or
  • Other unrelated personal information.
21

Sensitive Personal Information

chromafall wash does not require sensitive personal information to display its ambient effect.

Medical data, biometric identifiers, financial credentials, authentication secrets, government identifiers, political information, religious information, and other sensitive data are unrelated to the extension's stated purpose.

22

Passwords and Authentication Information

chromafall wash does not require passwords, login tokens, authentication codes, private keys, or similar credentials.

Authentication information from unrelated websites is not necessary for the rainbow wash effect.

23

Financial Information

chromafall wash does not require payment-card information, bank account data, transaction credentials, or other financial information in order to provide its standard visual functionality.

24

Geographic Location

Precise or approximate geographic location is not required to display a full-page color wash.

chromafall wash is not designed to track users' physical location or movements.

25

Camera and Microphone

chromafall wash does not require camera or microphone access for its standard functionality.

The rainbow wash is generated visually within the browser and does not require recorded video, voice, or ambient audio.

26

Private Communications

Private emails, chat messages, direct messages, and other personal communications are not required to provide chromafall wash's visual functionality.

27

Advertising

chromafall wash does not intend to use effect strength, shimmer speed, active-tab access, or other visual preferences for targeted advertising.

Extension settings are intended to support the declared visual effect.

28

No Sale of Personal Information

chromafall wash does not operate as a data brokerage service.

Locally stored extension preferences are not intended to be sold to advertisers, marketing companies, or data brokers.

29

User Profiling

chromafall wash is not designed to use visual preferences or animation settings to construct behavioral or demographic profiles of individual users.

Settings such as effect strength and shimmer speed are treated as functional customization values.

30

Cross-Site Tracking

chromafall wash is not designed to track users across unrelated websites.

The activeTab permission is used after user interaction to access the current tab rather than for persistent cross-site monitoring.

31

Cookies

chromafall wash does not require advertising cookies to provide its core visual functionality.

Websites independently visited by users may use their own cookies and tracking technologies. Those technologies are governed by the respective websites.

32

Analytics

chromafall wash does not require personally identifiable analytics information in order to render its standard visual effect.

If future versions materially introduce diagnostic or aggregate usage measurement, this Privacy Policy may be updated to explain the relevant practices.

33

Data Minimization

chromafall wash is designed around the principle that browser extensions should access and process only information reasonably necessary for their disclosed purpose.

The extension uses temporary active-tab access, scripting for the declared effect, and browser storage for functional preferences.

34

Purpose Limitation

Browser access and settings processed by chromafall wash are intended solely to provide, maintain, improve, or secure the disclosed ambient visual functionality.

Such information is not intended to be repurposed for unrelated surveillance, advertising profiling, credit scoring, employment screening, insurance decisions, or data brokerage.

35

Data Retention

Temporary visual state may exist while chromafall wash is active so that the effect can be rendered correctly.

Locally stored preferences may remain in browser extension storage until changed, cleared, or removed.

chromafall wash is not designed to maintain an unnecessary remote history of every website on which the effect has been used.

36

Data Security

chromafall wash is designed to minimize unnecessary handling of user information.

Using user-triggered tab access and local settings storage helps limit unnecessary information processing.

However, no browser extension, browser, operating system, network, device, or electronic environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

37

No Continuous Background Monitoring

chromafall wash does not need to continuously monitor unrelated browsing behavior in order to provide its visual effect.

The extension's active-tab access is associated with user invocation of the extension.

38

Automated Visual Processing

chromafall wash automatically performs graphical operations necessary to produce the ambient rainbow effect.

These operations may include:

  • Color interpolation;
  • Animation timing;
  • Opacity updates;
  • Shimmer progression;
  • Overlay rendering;
  • Visual state updates; and
  • Application of user-selected settings.

Such automated processing is limited to the extension's visual functionality.

39

Accessibility and Visual Comfort

chromafall wash produces moving and changing visual effects.

Users who are sensitive to animated color, bright overlays, shimmer, or visual motion should adjust available settings to a comfortable level or disable the effect.

Users retain control over whether the effect is activated.

40

Third-Party Websites

chromafall wash may be activated while users are viewing third-party websites, but those websites remain independent from the extension.

This Privacy Policy does not govern their cookies, analytics systems, tracking technologies, or privacy practices.

41

Browser Platforms

chromafall wash operates within a browser environment supplied by a browser vendor.

Browser vendors may independently process technical information associated with installation, updates, browser security, crashes, or extension management according to their own privacy policies.

42

Chrome Web Store and Other Extension Marketplaces

If chromafall wash is distributed through the Chrome Web Store or another browser extension marketplace, installation and update processes may be managed by that platform.

chromafall wash is intended to use browser permissions only for functionality directly related to its disclosed visual purpose.

43

Children's Privacy

chromafall wash is a general-purpose visual customization tool and is not specifically designed for the purpose of collecting personal information from children.

Standard functionality does not require users to create a dedicated personal account.

44

International Users

chromafall wash may be available to users in different countries and regions.

The extension is designed to minimize unnecessary processing of personal information regardless of where users are located.

Users remain responsible for using the extension in accordance with laws applicable in their jurisdiction.

45

User Choice and Control

Users control when chromafall wash is activated and how the effect is configured.

Users may adjust strength, modify shimmer speed, disable the effect, close the popup, or stop using the extension at any time.

46

Clearing Local Settings

Clearing local extension data may reset saved customization settings to their default values.

47

Removing chromafall wash

chromafall wash can be disabled or uninstalled through the browser's extension-management interface.

Once removed, the extension will no longer be able to apply the rainbow wash effect within that browser.

48

No Unrelated Commercial Use

Effect strength, shimmer speed, color state, and other extension settings are not intended to be used to create unrelated marketing databases or behavioral advertising audiences.

49

Changes to chromafall wash

chromafall wash may evolve over time to improve visual quality, transition behavior, effect controls, accessibility, performance, or browser compatibility.

Future functionality may remain consistent with the extension's primary ambient visual purpose.

If a future release materially changes how user information is accessed, processed, stored, transmitted, or shared, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.

50
