How SITREP handles data.
SITREP / Privacy
SITREP inspects pages when you ask it to. Reports stay in your browser unless you choose to export or share them.
Last updated November 9, 2026. This notice describes the SITREP Chrome extension by Newton & Carter LLC.
Page inspection and local storage
When you scan or inspect a page, SITREP reads page content, styles, URLs, accessibility information, and related resources needed for the requested feature. Audit findings, review decisions and baselines are stored in Chrome extension storage on your device. Client-report data is held in extension session storage. Removing the extension clears its extension storage; you may also manage extension data through Chrome.
Requests you choose to make
When you request a Lighthouse run, SITREP sends the public page URL without its query string or fragment to Google PageSpeed Insights. Google performs a separate test and its privacy practices apply. An optional PageSpeed API key is sent with that request and is not saved by SITREP. When you choose to download or preview an image or font, the browser requests that resource from its host. Those hosts may receive standard request information and, where browser policies allow, credentials associated with the request.
Exports and contacting us
JSON exports and client reports can include page URLs, selectors, findings, and other page-derived content. They remain on your device unless you choose to share them. Choosing “Discuss your website” opens the Newton & Carter contact page with a fixed SITREP referral parameter; it does not automatically attach your page URL or report. If you contact us or choose to send a report, we use the information you provide to respond to your request and discuss the requested work.
Sharing and security
SITREP does not automatically transmit your audit reports to Newton & Carter. Information sent to Google for a requested Lighthouse run is handled under Google’s policies. Your use of the Newton & Carter website and any information you choose to submit there may be handled by its hosting and communications providers. Do not include sensitive information in a report you share unless you intend the recipient to receive it.
Our use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
