MockMate Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-04-22
MockMate is a developer tool that records and replays API responses in your browser for local testing.
What data MockMate accesses
- Request metadata for API calls made by the active web page (for example: URL, method).
- Response data for calls captured in Record mode (status, headers, body content).
- Extension settings and saved mock sessions.
- Active tab information needed to scope state to the current site.
How data is stored
- MockMate stores data locally in your browser using
chrome.storage.local. - MockMate does not use a remote database or cloud account for extension data.
How data is used
- To let you record, edit, and replay API responses during development/testing.
- To render extension UI state (modes, sessions, delays, toggles) and on-page banner status.
Data sharing
- MockMate does not sell your data.
- MockMate does not transmit captured API data to MockMate-owned servers.
- If you use features that call your own API endpoints from the extension (for example endpoint import/fetch helpers), requests are sent only to the destination URL you provide.
User control
- You can disable extension behavior globally using the ON/OFF toggle.
- You can clear draft/session data and delete saved sessions from the popup UI.
- Removing the extension removes access to the extension features.
Permissions rationale
storage: save settings, sessions, and mock data locally.tabs: scope state and sync behavior for the active tab/site.contextMenus: support "Add to MockMate" context menu actions.host_permissions(<all_urls>): required for a general-purpose API mocking workflow across test environments.
