Applies to: Cert Coach browser extension, all versions
Last updated: 18 August 2026
The short version
Cert Coach collects nothing, sends nothing, and has no way to do either. It makes no network
requests of any kind.
What is stored, and where
The extension saves two things using your browser’s own extension storage:
- Your study progress — which questions you have answered, whether you got them right,
and when each is next due for review. - Your appearance preference — whether you have chosen light, dark, or to follow your
system setting.
Both are held on your own device by your browser. Neither is transmitted anywhere. There is
no server to transmit them to: the extension has no network code, and its build is
automatically checked to confirm no URL appears in it other than links to the publisher’s
own website.
What is not collected
No account. No sign-in. No email address. No analytics. No telemetry. No crash reporting.
No advertising identifiers. No cookies. No tracking of any kind, first-party or third-party.
Access to web pages
None. The extension declares no host permissions and installs no content scripts. It cannot
read the pages you visit, and it does not attempt to.
Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
storage | Saves your study progress and appearance preference on your device. |
sidePanel (Chrome only) | Opens the extension in the browser side panel. Firefox needs no equivalent permission. |
There are no others, and no optional permissions.
Links to other sites
Some questions offer a “further reading” link to an article on speakingofclouds.com. Nothing
is sent when a question is shown; a link is followed only if you click it, and it opens in a
normal browser tab, at which point that website’s own privacy policy applies.
Removing your data
Uninstalling the extension removes everything it stored. There is no copy held anywhere else,
because none was ever sent anywhere else.
Children
The extension is a study aid for a professional certification. It collects no personal
information from anyone, of any age.
Changes
Any future version that adds a network request would need this policy updated and the store
disclosures changed in the same release. As of this version there is nothing to disclose.
