Chrome Extension (CSI Code Lookup)

Our "CSI Code Lookup" Chrome Extension is designed with privacy in mind.

• No Personal Data Collection: The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal identification information (PII).
• Search Data: Search queries entered into the extension (e.g., searching for "Concrete") are processed locally or sent anonymously to our database solely to retrieve the matching CSI codes. We do not track or store your search history.
