Token Drift — Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

Token Drift is a browser extension that audits a web page's rendered styles against a design-token system you provide. It is built to keep your data on your device. It does not collect, store, sell, or transmit personal information, and it has no analytics, trackers, cookies, or remote code.

What the extension does with data

• Page styles. When you click the Token Drift toolbar icon and run an audit, the extension reads the computed CSS of the active tab (colors, spacing, font properties, radii, shadows) to compare them against your tokens. This analysis happens entirely in your browser. The page's content and styles are never sent to us or any third party.
• Your design tokens. Tokens you paste, upload, or load stay in the extension's side panel in your browser. They are not uploaded anywhere.
• Reports and exports. The audit report, and any JSON / Markdown / clipboard exports you choose to generate, are produced locally and remain on your device.

Network requests

Token Drift makes a network request in exactly one case: when you choose the Repo URL input and provide a link to a public token file. The extension fetches that file directly from the host you named (for example, GitHub's raw.githubusercontent.com or gitlab.com). That request contains only the URL you entered. It is governed by the privacy policy of GitHub or GitLab, respectively. The extension makes no other network requests.

Permissions and why they are used

• activeTab and scripting — to read the styles of the tab you are auditing, only after you explicitly invoke the extension. The extension does not run on pages you have not asked it to audit.
• sidePanel — to show the audit interface and report.
• Host access to raw.githubusercontent.com and gitlab.com — solely to fetch a public token file when you use the Repo URL option. This access is not used to read web pages.

Data retention and sharing

Token Drift stores no personal data and shares no data with anyone. There is no server, no account, and no third-party data processor.

Children's privacy

Token Drift is a developer/designer tool and is not directed at children. It collects no personal information from anyone.
