Privacy policies and terms for Chrome extensions

Use this guide to prepare an accurate inventory for your Chrome extensions workflow. Start with what your product actually does today, then turn that inventory into editable documents with PolicyKit.

Map the information journey

An extension may read page content, store settings and send information to a remote service. Inventory each permission and the exact feature that uses it. Distinguish code running in a page from code running in the background. An extension that works locally should still explain update checks or optional account synchronization if those features contact external servers.

Decide what your documents need to explain

Describe which sites the extension can access and whether access is activated by a user action. If extracted page text is sent elsewhere, explain the destination and purpose before relying on a generic analytics paragraph. Separate browser synchronization storage from your own database. Review diagnostics to ensure they do not accidentally include URLs containing private document names or access tokens.

Review the complete user experience

Test a clean installation, permission refusal, feature activation and uninstall. Compare the explanation with the package you distribute rather than a development build with debug logging. Give users a reachable privacy page outside the extension popup. A policy draft does not narrow technical permissions; permission scope must be changed in the extension itself when necessary.

Turn your inventory into a draft

In the free generator, enter your public brand, website and support contact. Describe data categories, purposes, providers, retention periods and security measures that are already in use. Do not paste customer records, credentials or confidential files. Where a decision remains unresolved, investigate it before publishing rather than replacing a placeholder with a guess. Review the output after every meaningful product change.
