Last updated: July 10, 2026


1. Introduction

ES Identity Inspector ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that helps developers and analysts debug visitor identity and ID stitching on EssentiallySports (essentiallysports.com). This Privacy Policy explains what information the Extension accesses, how that information is used, and your choices.

By installing and using the Extension, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

3. What the Extension Does

The Extension reads identity-related signals from EssentiallySports web pages when you explicitly open the Extension or click Refresh. It displays this information in a local inspection panel and optionally saves resolution records on your device. The Extension is intended for debugging and analytics QA, not for general consumer use.

4. Information the Extension Accesses

When you use the Extension on an essentiallysports.com page, it may access:

a) Cookies

b) Page storage

localStorage and sessionStorage values on the active EssentiallySports tab (e.g. userInfo, newsletter_user, visit counters).

c) URL data

The page URL, including query parameters such as email or email_hash when present in the address bar.
