Privacy Policy for Advice.lk Chrome Extension

Last Updated: February 22, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how the Advice.lk Chrome Extension (“we”, “our”, or “the extension”) handles user information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information.

The Advice.lk extension does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data, browsing history, or user information of any kind.

How the Extension Works

The extension performs a single function: fetching publicly available blog post data from the Advice.lk website. Specifically, the extension:

  1. Retrieves the public XML sitemap from https://advice.lk/post-sitemap1.xml
  2. Parses the sitemap to extract blog post URLs and publication dates
  3. Displays this information locally within the extension popup

All data processing occurs locally in your browser. No information is sent to external servers other than the request to advice.lk to fetch the sitemap.

Data Storage

The extension does not store any data locally on your device. Each time you open the extension, it fetches fresh data from the Advice.lk sitemap. No cookies, local storage, or browser storage mechanisms are used to retain information between sessions.

Third-Party Services

The extension connects only to:

  • advice.lk – To fetch the publicly available sitemap containing blog post information

We do not integrate with any analytics services, advertising networks, or other third-party data collectors.

Permissions

The extension requires the following permission:

  • Host permission for advice.lk – This permission is necessary to fetch the XML sitemap from the Advice.lk website. The extension cannot function without this permission as it needs to retrieve the list of blog posts to display.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share any user information with third parties because we do not collect any user information.

Children’s Privacy

The extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

By using the Advice.lk Chrome Extension, you consent to this Privacy Policy.
