Privacy Policy — Safe Privacy Gate

Last updated: 2026-06-25

Safe Privacy Gate ("the extension") warns you before you send text or select a file whose name contains sensitive information. This policy explains exactly what the extension does and does not do with your data.

Summary

Everything happens locally, on your device. The extension makes no network requests of any kind — it has no server, no analytics, no telemetry, and no accounts.
It reads the text of fields that are about to be submitted (and the NAMES of files you select) only to check them against your detection settings. It never modifies the text, never stores it, and never transmits it.
The only thing it stores is your settings (detection types, custom watch words, trusted sites), on your device in chrome.storage.local.

What data the extension handles

Data	Why	Where it goes
Text in fields being submitted	Checked against your enabled detection patterns at the moment you send	Examined in-page and immediately discarded; never stored, never transmitted
Names of files you select	Same check, applied to the file NAME only (file contents are never read)	Same — examined and discarded
Your settings (detection types, custom words, trusted sites, options)	To apply your configuration	Stored on your device via `chrome.storage.local` only

The extension does not collect: browsing history, cookies, credentials, file contents, location, analytics, telemetry, or any personally identifiable information for its own use.

Permissions and why they are needed

Site access (<all_urls>) — the extension's single purpose is to warn about accidental sends on sites you did NOT anticipate, so the sites it must protect cannot be enumerated in advance. It reads field text and file names only at the moment of a send, only to run the local check, and it can be turned off per site ("trust this site") or globally at any time.
storage — to save your settings on your device.

There are no network-related permissions and no remote code: the extension cannot and does not send anything anywhere.

Data sharing, sale, and retention

We receive no data, so there is nothing to share, sell, or retain. To delete your settings, remove the extension or clear its storage from chrome://extensions.

Children's privacy

The extension is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from anyone.
