Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy describes how the Zoho Function Explorer extension collects, uses, and protects your information.

1. Data Collection and Use

Zoho Function Explorer was designed with a security and local-first privacy model:

  • Zoho CRM Data: The extension acts only as a bridge between your browser and the official Zoho CRM APIs. Your function codes (Deluge) and Client Scripts are downloaded and processed exclusively in your browser's memory.
  • Local Storage: The source code of your functions is stored in chrome.storage.local, meaning it is saved only on your local computer to allow offline functionality and fast caching. No function code is transferred to third-party servers.
  • Access Tokens: The extension uses your active browser session to communicate with Zoho CRM. We do not store, read, or intercept passwords.

2. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information or corporate codes with third parties. The only external traffic made by the extension is for:

  • Subscription Validation: We only send your Zoho organization identifier (Org ID) to our structured payment service (via Stripe) for the sole purpose of validating if your license/subscription is active. No Zoho code or configuration information accompanies this request.

3. Extension Permissions

To function properly, the extension requires the following detailed permissions in the Manifest:

  • activeTab and scripting: Used exclusively to read the CSRF token from the active Zoho CRM page and trigger requests to the CRM APIs.
  • storage: Required to save the functions cache locally and keep your usage preferences (such as the Light/Dark Theme).
  • downloads: Used to allow the extension to generate and download the .zip file with your scripts on your own computer.

4. Security

The extension operates within the security limits imposed by modern browsers (Google Chrome). Additionally, all communication with the Zoho API occurs encrypted by Zoho itself (HTTPS).

5. Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If there are significant changes in data usage, we will update them on this page and indicate the modification date at the top.
