Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 4, 2025

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains the information collection, use, and sharing practices of ShiftShift Extensions ("we," "us," and "our").

Unless otherwise stated, this Policy describes and governs the information collection, use, and sharing practices of ShiftShift Extensions with respect to your use of our Chrome browser extensions ("Services").

Before you use or submit any information through or in connection with the Services, please carefully review this Privacy Policy. By using any part of the Services, you understand that your information will be collected, used, and disclosed as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to this privacy policy, please do not use our Services.

Our Principles

ShiftShift Extensions has designed this policy to be consistent with the following principles:

  • Privacy policies should be human readable and easy to find.
  • Data collection, storage, and processing should be simplified as much as possible to enhance security, ensure consistency, and make the practices easy for users to understand.
  • Data practices should meet the reasonable expectations of users.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly to Us

We do NOT collect any personal information that you provide through the Extensions.

Information that Is Automatically Collected

We do NOT automatically collect any personal data, browsing history, usage statistics, or analytics.

Our Extensions are designed to be privacy-friendly and operate entirely offline within your browser. All processing happens locally on your device using secure browser APIs.

Local Storage

Some extensions may use the Chrome storage API to save user preferences locally within your browser. This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. Examples include:

  • Password Generator: Saves settings for password length and character types.
  • Calculator: May save last used state or preferences.
  • Translator: Saves preferred source/target languages.
  • Cookie Manager: May temporarily store cookie data for display purposes only.

This locally stored data:

  • Is stored only on your device
  • Is never transmitted to any external servers
  • Can be cleared at any time by clearing browser data or uninstalling the extension
  • Is used solely to restore your last used settings when you open the extension

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We do NOT use cookies, tracking pixels, analytics tools, or any other tracking technologies. We do not collect data about your browsing habits, website visits, or interactions with the Extensions.

Information from Third Parties

We do NOT collect any information from third parties.

How We Use Your Information

Since we do not collect any personal information, we do not use your information for any purpose other than providing the core functionality of each extension locally on your device.

All data processing occurs entirely within your browser. No data is transmitted to external servers, used for analytics, marketing, or shared with third parties.

When We Disclose Your Information

We do NOT disclose, share, sell, or transmit any user information to anyone, as we do not collect any personal information.

Our Extensions do not communicate with external servers and do not have any backend infrastructure that could receive or store user data.

Permissions Explanation

Our Extensions may request certain Chrome browser permissions to provide their functionality. Here's why each permission is needed:

storage

Used to save your preferences and settings locally on your device. No data is synchronized to external servers or transmitted anywhere.

clipboardWrite

Allows you to copy generated content (passwords, calculations, QR codes, etc.) to your clipboard when you click the copy button. We do not read clipboard data or transmit it anywhere.

All URLs (host permissions)

Required to display the extension overlay on any webpage you choose. The extensions do not read, collect, monitor, or transmit any data from websites you visit.

activeTab

Used by screenshot extensions to capture the visible portion of the current tab. The screenshot is processed locally and never transmitted to external servers.

cookies

Used only by the Cookie Manager extension to view and manage cookies for the current website. No cookie data is transmitted to external servers.

Third-Party Links and Services

We do not use any third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or tracking services. Our Extensions operate completely offline and do not communicate with any external servers or third-party services.

Data Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. Since no personal data is collected, processed externally, or transmitted to any servers, the risk of data breaches related to personal information is eliminated.

All operations are performed locally within your browser using Chrome's secure APIs. Any locally stored preferences are protected by Chrome's built-in security mechanisms.

Your Choices and Data Subject Rights

Managing Stored Preferences

You can clear any locally stored preferences at any time by:

  • Clearing your browser data through Chrome settings
  • Uninstalling the extension
  • Manually resetting settings within the extension (where applicable)

Uninstalling Extensions

You can remove any of our Extensions from your Chrome browser at any time through the Chrome Extensions management page (chrome://extensions). Uninstalling an extension will remove all locally stored preferences associated with that extension.

EU Data Subject Rights

Since we do not collect, process, or store any personal data on external servers, there is no personal data for us to access, correct, delete, or transfer. All data remains on your device and under your control.

International Transfers

We do not transfer any data internationally, as we do not collect or transmit any personal information from our users.

Children's Privacy

The Services are not specifically directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA). However, since we do not collect any personal information from anyone, including children, our Extensions can be safely used by users of all ages.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from children, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as practicable.

Data Retention

We do not retain any user data, as we do not collect any personal information. Any locally stored preferences remain on your device until you clear them or uninstall the extension.

Compliance

Our Extensions comply with:

  • Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies
  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
  • Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes here and revise the "Last Updated" date above. We encourage you to check this page periodically for updates to stay informed on how we protect your privacy.

If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will provide notice through the Chrome Web Store listing or within the extension itself.
