AEO/GEO Auditor · Chrome extension
This policy covers the AEO/GEO Auditor browser extension published by Advance Labs Inc. The short version: the extension collects nothing, and every audit runs inside your browser.
Effective August 31, 2026
Nothing.
The AEO/GEO Auditor extension does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal or usage data. There is no account, no sign-in, no API key, no server, no database, no analytics, and no telemetry. We do not know that you installed the extension, we do not know which pages you audit, and we do not receive your results.
When you click the extension's toolbar icon, it reads the rendered HTML of the page you are currently viewing and evaluates it against a set of answer-engine-optimization rules. That evaluation happens entirely inside your browser.
The score, the checklist, and the PDF export are all produced locally on your own machine. The PDF is generated in the browser and saved by you; it is never uploaded anywhere.
To judge whether a site is readable by answer engines, the extension checks for a small set of crawl-hint files. It requests them from the audited page's own origin and nowhere else:
No third-party host is ever contacted. The contents of those files are used only to compute the score shown in the popup, and are discarded when you close it. The extension contains no remote code: all of its JavaScript is bundled into the package at build time, and it never loads or evaluates code fetched from anywhere.
Grants access to the single tab you are on, and only after you click the toolbar icon, so the extension can read that page's rendered DOM to evaluate its title, meta tags, headings, and JSON-LD structured data. No other tab is accessed, and the access does not persist after the popup closes.
Used solely to inject the extension's own content script into the tab you chose to audit, in the case where that tab was loaded before the extension was installed or updated. Without it you would have to reload the page before an audit could run. No other code is injected.
An AEO audit has to read crawl-hint files that live at fixed paths on the audited site's own origin. Because you may audit any website, that origin cannot be known in advance. Requests are made only to the origin of the page you are auditing, only when you run an audit, and only for the specific paths listed below.
In the terms used by the Chrome Web Store's Developer Program Policies, we confirm that this extension:
These are trivially true here, because no user data is handled at all.
If a future version of the extension ever changes what it accesses or transmits, this page will be updated before that version is published, and the effective date above will change with it.
