Privacy Policy for Docket Mirror

Last Updated: August 9, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how the Docket Mirror extension ("we," "us," or "our") handles information. This policy applies to the Docket Mirror extension available on the Chrome Web Store.

1. Information We Handle

Docket Mirror is designed to minimize data collection. To provide and authenticate its services, the extension handles the following data:

  • Website Content: The extension reads case information (such as case numbers, names, times, and hearing types) directly from the Karpel website (https://mogov.hostedbykarpel.com/*) that you are actively viewing. It also reads the same type of information from the PDF files you choose to upload. This data is only processed locally to perform the comparison.
  • Authentication Token: To fetch docket data from the Karpel website, the extension temporarily reads your session's authentication token from your browser.
  • Chrome Profile ID (GAIA ID): To verify that you have a license to use the extension, we use your obfuscated Google Account ID (GAIA ID) provided by the browser. This ID is used for authentication and does not grant us access to your name, email, or other personal information.

2. How We Use Information

The information handled by the extension is used for two exclusive purposes: docket comparison and license validation.

  • The Website Content and the contents of your PDF file are used only to populate the comparison UI. This comparison process occurs entirely within your browser and the data is discarded when the comparison window is closed. No case data or PDF content is ever sent to an external server.
  • The Authentication Token is used only to make necessary requests to the Karpel servers on your behalf and is never transmitted to our servers.
  • The Chrome Profile ID (GAIA ID) is sent to our license server to confirm that your profile has an active license.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, sell, or transfer your personal information. Specifically, we do not handle:

  • Personally identifiable information (your name, email address, etc.)
  • Authentication credentials (passwords)
  • Web history or user activity unrelated to the extension's core function.

4. Data Storage and Security

We take data security seriously. All network traffic between the extension and our license server uses HTTPS encryption. A positive license validation result is stored in Chrome’s local storage (chrome.storage.local), which is sandboxed per profile and encrypted by the browser, to reduce the need for frequent checks.

5. Data Retention

Local Cache: The license status flag is automatically deleted from your browser's local storage seven (7) days after it is stored.

Server Logs: GAIA IDs may be temporarily present in our server logs for operational troubleshooting and security purposes, after which they are purged.

6. Your Choices

You can remove the locally cached license data at any time by clearing the extension's storage in your Chrome browser settings. Uninstalling the extension will remove all locally stored data immediately. To request deletion of any GAIA ID that may appear in server logs, please contact us.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
