Salesforce Record Indicator is a Chrome extension that displays visual indicators on Salesforce Lightning record pages based on user-defined rules. This policy describes what data the extension accesses, how it is used, and how it is stored.
Important note
Salesforce Record Indicator only uses the Salesforce records, fields, and metadata available through your
existing Salesforce session.
It does not transmit Salesforce data to external servers or third parties.
Privacy details
Salesforce Record Data
When you navigate to a Salesforce Lightning record page, the extension queries the Salesforce REST API to retrieve field values for the current record. This data is used solely to evaluate your indicator rules and display results. Record data is held in memory only for the duration of the page view and is never stored persistently or transmitted outside your browser.
Salesforce Session Credentials
The extension uses your existing Salesforce browser session to authenticate API requests. It accesses the Salesforce session identifier (SID cookie) from your browser and may read a page session token from the Salesforce page. These credentials are cached in the browser's session storage and are automatically cleared when the browser session ends. They are never stored persistently, logged, or transmitted to any external service.
Salesforce Object and Field Metadata
The extension queries the Salesforce API to retrieve object and field metadata (field names, labels, data types). This metadata is used to populate field selection dropdowns in the rule editor and to normalise field values for rule evaluation.
User-Defined Rules and Preferences
Your indicator rules (conditions, colours, display text, priority) and preferences (indicator position, layout, known org hostnames) are stored locally using Chrome's sync storage. If you are signed in to Chrome, this data may sync across your devices via your Google account. This data never leaves Chrome's built-in storage system.
Pause State
The extension's pause/resume state is stored in Chrome's session storage and is cleared when you close your browser.
Data the Extension Does NOT Collect
- The extension does not collect analytics or telemetry of any kind.
- The extension does not transmit Salesforce data to any external servers, APIs, or third parties.
- The extension does not track your browsing activity.
- The extension does not access or modify any Salesforce data. It only reads record fields and metadata.
- The extension does not store Salesforce record data beyond the current page view.
