2. What the Extension Does
The Mediads Chrome Extension is an overlay interface that allows advertisers and agencies to create and manage Mediads advertising campaigns directly from Meta Business Manager, without leaving that environment.
The Extension activates exclusively on pages under the *.facebook.com domain (business.facebook.com, adsmanager.facebook.com, etc.). It does not run on any other website.
3. Data Collected and Legal Bases
3.1 What the Extension Reads (Without Storing)
To operate, the Extension reads the following data in memory only, without transmitting it to our servers:
- The active page URL, specifically the
act=<id>parameter on adsmanager.facebook.com URLs — in order to identify the active Meta ad account and match it to the associated Mediads brand.
3.2 Mediads Account Data (Authentication) GDPR Art. 6.1.b
Authentication is handled by Clerk, our identity provider (also used on app.mediads.io). When signing in through the Extension:
- The user session (JWT token) is stored in the Extension's background service worker, in accordance with Chrome security best practices.
- The content script injected into Meta pages never accesses the JWT.
- Data displayed in the overlay (name, brand, campaigns, media catalogue) is retrieved via Mediads' secure API (HTTPS) using the active session.
Legal basis: Performance of a contract (Art. 6.1.b GDPR).
3.3 User Preferences (Local Storage) GDPR Art. 6.1.f
Extension settings (floating button position, auto-open toggle, selected environment) are saved in chrome.storage.sync. This data:
- Is purely functional (interface configuration only).
- Contains no personally identifiable information.
- Is synchronised by Chrome across the user's devices if they are signed into their Chrome profile.
Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6.1.f GDPR) — improving user experience.
3.4 What We Do NOT Collect
- No browsing history.
- No data from the Meta Business Manager DOM (ads, budgets, audiences, Meta account data).
- No analytics or user behaviour data (no analytics SDK is bundled in V1).
- No payment card or financial data.
- No data relating to minors.
