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.
