384 Use the <code>chrome.privacy</code> module to control usage of the features in
385 Chrome that can affect a user's privacy. This module relies on the
386 <a href="types.html#ChromeSetting">ChromeSetting prototype of the type API</a>
387 for getting and setting Chrome's configuration.
388 </p>
389
390 <p class="note">
391 The <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/chrome/google-chrome-privac y-whitepaper.pdf">Chrome Privacy Whitepaper</a>
392 gives background detail regarding the features which this API can control.
393 </p>
394
395 <h2 id="manifest">Manifest</h2>
396 <p>
397 You must declare the "privacy" permission in your extension's
398 <a href="manifest.html"> manifest</a> to use the API. For example:
399 </p>
400
401 <pre>{
402 "name": "My extension",
403 ...
404 <b>"permissions": [
405 "privacy"
406 ]</b>,
407 ...
408 }</pre>
409
410 <h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
411
412 <p>
413 Reading the current value of a setting is straightforward. You'll first need
414 to find the property you're interested in, then you'll call <code>get()</code>
415 on that object in order to retrieve it's current value and your extension's
416 level of control. For example, to determine if Chrome's Autofill feature is
417 enabled, you'd write:
418 </p>
419
420 <pre>chrome.privacy.services.autofillEnabled.get({}, function(details) {
421 if (details.value)
422 console.log('Autofill is on!');
423 else
424 console.log('Autofill is off!');
425 });</pre>
426
427 <p>
428 Changing the value of a setting is a little bit more complex, simply because
429 you first must verify that your extension can control the setting. If the
430 setting has been locked down by enterprise policy, or already been set by
431 another extension, then your extension will be denied write access. You'll
432 use the <code>get()</code> method to determine your level of access, and then
433 call <code>set()</code> if your extension can grab control over the setting:
434 </p>
435
436 <pre>chrome.privacy.services.autofillEnabled.get({}, function(details) {
437 if (details.levelOfControl === 'controllable_by_this_extension') {
438 chrome.privacy.services.autofillEnabled.set({ value: true }, function() {
439 if (chrome.extension.lastError === undefined)
440 console.log("Hooray, it worked!");
441 else
442 console.log("Sadness!", chrome.extension.lastError);
443 }
444 }
445 });</pre>
446
447 <h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>
448 <p>
449 For example code, see the
450 <a href="samples.html#privacy">Privacy API samples</a>.
