Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 31, 2026
The short version: Mobile View does not collect, store on our servers, transmit, sell, or share any of your data. No analytics, no trackers, no ads, no external servers. Everything runs locally in your browser.
This Privacy Policy explains how the “Mobile View — Mobile Simulator & Preview” browser extension (the “Extension”, “we”, “our”) handles information. The Extension is built privacy-first and works entirely on your device, with no backend service.
When you click the Extension’s toolbar icon on a regular website, it builds an on-page overlay that shows the same page inside a mobile or tablet device frame. You can switch devices, rotate, scale, synchronize scrolling/clicks/typing between the desktop page and the preview, and take a screenshot. All of this happens locally in the active tab.
We do not collect any personal or sensitive user data. The Extension does not:
To remember your preferences, the Extension saves a small set of settings locally via the browser’s chrome.storage.local API. This never leaves your device and is not accessible to us. It includes only:
It also temporarily stores, in chrome.storage.session (cleared when you close the browser), the list of tabs where the preview is open, so it can be restored after a reload. This contains tab identifiers only — no page content or URLs.
You can erase all of this at any time by removing the Extension.
The Extension requests only what it needs for its single purpose. None of these are used to gather data about you.
Act on the page you are currently viewing when you click the icon.
Inject the preview overlay into the active tab.
To display the page inside a mobile frame, remove framing restrictions (X-Frame-Options and the framing part of Content-Security-Policy) and set a mobile User-Agent — only for the preview frame of the active tab, scoped per tab and removed when you close the preview. No requests are blocked, recorded, or sent anywhere.
Save your settings locally on your device (section 4).
Show a short message when a page cannot be previewed (e.g. chrome:// pages).
The Extension can be used on any website you choose to preview, so it needs to run on all sites — solely to render the preview, never to read or send your data.
The Extension does not contact any server operated by us and includes no third-party SDKs, analytics, or remote code. The only network traffic is your browser loading the website you chose to preview — exactly as it would without the Extension.
The screenshot feature captures the visible preview, crops it locally, and saves the image to your device as a download. Screenshots are never uploaded or transmitted.
The screen recording feature uses your browser’s built-in screen-capture dialog — you explicitly choose what to record. The video is encoded locally and saved straight to your device as a file (.webm). Recordings are never uploaded, sent to us, or transmitted to any third party.
We do not sell, rent, or share any user data, because we do not collect any.
The Extension is a general-purpose preview tool, is not directed to children, and collects no personal information from anyone.
Since no data is collected or transmitted, there is no remote store that could be breached. Your settings stay on your own device under your browser’s protection.
If functionality changes in a way that affects this policy, we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” date above.
