Hidder is a browser extension that hides sensitive fields — passwords, logins, emails, tokens — from the video other people see while you share your screen. To do that, it needs to (a) find those fields on the pages you have open and (b) mask the matching regions inside the captured video before it leaves your machine. All of this happens locally, on your own device, in real time.
A single on/off preference — whether protection is enabled — is saved in your browser's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) so the setting persists between sessions. It never leaves your device and contains no personal information.
Screen sharing can capture any site, so Hidder must be able to locate and mask sensitive fields on whatever page you happen to share. It reads page structure only to position masks — nothing is recorded or sent.
Lets Hidder inject its field-tracking and masking code into pages, including tabs that were already open when the extension was installed or updated.
Stores the single on/off toggle described above. Nothing else.
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date above. Material changes will also be reflected in the extension's store listing.
