NukeRefresh Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 3, 2026
The short version
NukeRefresh does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. There is no account, no remote server, no analytics, and no tracking built into the extension. Everything it does happens locally, inside your own browser, in response to you clicking a button or pressing a shortcut.
The rest of this page explains exactly what each Chrome permission is used for, so there's nothing left to guess at.
What NukeRefresh does
NukeRefresh is a Chrome extension that forces a hard reload of the current tab using one of five strategies you choose: an API-level cache bypass, a per-site cache clear, a cache-busting URL parameter, a combined "cascade" of those methods, or a full browser-wide cache clear. You trigger it from the toolbar popup or the Alt+Shift+N keyboard shortcut (MacCtrl+Shift+N on macOS).
Data we collect
None. NukeRefresh does not collect analytics, does not create a user profile, does not use cookies or a backend database, and does not send any information to Notavello or to any third party. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing to sync, and nothing stored outside your own machine.
Permissions and why each one is needed
Chrome requires extensions to declare permissions up front. Here is what NukeRefresh requests and what each one is actually used for:
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
| activeTab | Lets the extension see and act on the tab you're currently viewing only when you open the popup or use the shortcut — not any other open tab. |
| tabs | Used to read the current tab's URL (shown in the popup for confirmation) and to trigger the actual reload on that tab. |
| browsingData | Used to clear cached files, either for the current site only or for the entire browser, depending on which strategy you pick. Nothing is cleared unless you click a button — the full-browser option additionally asks you to confirm first. |
| scripting | Used to inject the no-cache request headers that the "Cascade" strategy relies on, so the server is forced to return a fresh copy of the page instead of a cached one. |
| storage | Used only to remember lightweight local preferences, such as your default strategy, inside Chrome's own extension storage on your device. This data never leaves your browser. |
NukeRefresh never reads page content, form data, passwords, or browsing history, and none of these permissions are used to track what you do across sites.
Third parties
NukeRefresh does not integrate with any third-party service, analytics provider, or advertising network. It does not share, sell, or transfer any data, because it does not collect any in the first place.
Children's privacy
NukeRefresh is a general-purpose browser utility and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children, since it does not collect information from any user at all.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of NukeRefresh after a change means you accept the revised policy.
