Privacy Policy — Social Preview Inspector

Social Preview Inspector is a Chrome extension by Faiz Azizan (drfaizazizan.com) that previews how a webpage will appear when shared on WhatsApp, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn, and checks its Open Graph / Twitter Card metadata for issues.

What the extension does

• When you open the side panel, it reads the Open Graph, Twitter Card, and canonical/favicon tags from the page you're currently viewing, directly in your browser.
• When you use the "Bulk" scan feature, the extension fetches the sitemap.xml URL you enter and the individual page URLs listed in it, to read their meta tags the same way.
• When checking an og:image, the extension requests that image's URL to read its file size and dimensions.

What is stored

Scan history (the meta tags found, and a timestamp) is stored locally in your browser via chrome.storage.local, keyed by page URL, so the "History" tab can show what changed between scans. This stays on your device, capped at the last 5 scans per URL. Nothing is sent to Faiz Azizan, drfaizazizan.com, or any third-party server — there is no backend, no analytics, and no account system.

Why the extension requests broad host access

The extension needs to read meta tags from whichever page you're actively viewing, and — for the Bulk scan feature — fetch other pages and sitemap files you explicitly provide a URL for. It does not run in the background on sites you haven't opened the side panel on or entered into the Bulk tab.

Data sharing

None. No data leaves your browser. No third-party services, SDKs, or trackers are used.
