LayoutPilot is built for local frontend inspection and visual review. Its processing happens in the user's browser and starts only when the user activates the extension for the current tab.
Local-first visual tooling
LayoutPilot is a Manifest V3 Chrome and Edge extension for frontend developers, designers, and QA reviewers. It helps inspect page layout, compare spacing, create visual annotations, copy or download annotated screenshots, and generate printable review reports directly in the browser.
This policy explains how LayoutPilot handles technical page data while supporting local layout inspection, visual annotation, screenshot, and report workflows inside the browser.
LayoutPilot does not operate a backend service, does not send inspected page data or screenshots to external servers, and does not share or sell user data.
LayoutPilot has one purpose: help frontend developers, designers, and QA reviewers inspect visual layout details and create local review artifacts for the page they are actively working on.
The extension runs on a page only after the user activates it from the browser extension UI for the current tab.
To provide its inspection and review features, LayoutPilot may process technical data locally such as:
This processing happens inside the browser on the user's device.
LayoutPilot does not collect or transmit data to a company backend because it has no backend.
Technical data is used locally and only to support the extension's visible features, including:
LayoutPilot uses the browser's extension storage for lightweight local data such as installation time, selected language, last selected mode, and review color preferences.
Review annotations and visual marks are maintained in the active page session so the user can inspect, export, or print the current review without relying on remote infrastructure.
LayoutPilot does not share inspected page details, screenshots, annotations, preferences, or generated review artifacts with third parties. It does not sell data and does not make local review data available to advertisers, data brokers, or external analytics providers.
LayoutPilot does not execute remote code. Its JavaScript, HTML, CSS, images, and related assets are packaged with the extension itself.
The extension's scripts are loaded from extension resources, not from remote servers, and the product is not designed around externally hosted executable code.
LayoutPilot uses browser permissions only to provide its inspection, review, and responsive preview features. These permissions allow the extension to run on the user-selected tab, inject the inspection/review UI, capture the visible tab for user-triggered exports, and save lightweight local preferences.
These permissions are used only for the extension's stated purpose. They are not used for tracking, advertising, analytics, or background data collection.
When the user enables Responsive Preview, LayoutPilot may create a temporary rule for the current tab so the selected page can load inside the preview iframe when frame-related headers would otherwise block it. This rule is limited to the active tab, applies only while Responsive Preview is active, and is removed when the preview or tab is closed.
LayoutPilot does not read, collect, store, or transmit request/response bodies, credentials, browsing history, personal data, or page content through this permission.
The user chooses when LayoutPilot is activated, which browser tab is involved, which review marks are created, and when screenshots, downloads, clipboard copies, or printable reports are generated.
LayoutPilot does not silently inspect unrelated tabs and does not upload generated review artifacts.
