Privacy Policy

01 What FormSaver Does

FormSaver is a browser extension that automatically saves the content of form fields (text inputs, textareas, dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons) as you type. When a page crashes, refreshes, or a session times out, FormSaver lets you restore your typed content with one click.

The extension runs locally in your browser. It does not communicate with any external server, API, or third-party service of any kind.

02 Data We Collect

We collect absolutely nothing. There is no backend, no database, no analytics pipeline, and no account system. We have no way to collect data even if we wanted to.

Specifically, FormSaver does NOT collect:

• Your name, email, or any personal identifiers
• The content of any form fields you type
• Which websites you visit
• Crash reports, error logs, or usage analytics
• Browser fingerprints or device identifiers
• Any data whatsoever

03 Data Storage

All data saved by FormSaver is stored exclusively using the browser's built-in chrome.storage.local API (or the equivalent Firefox/Edge API). This means:

• Data is stored on your device only — in your browser's local storage partition
• Data is never uploaded, synced, or transmitted anywhere
• Data is not accessible to other extensions or websites
• Data is automatically deleted if you uninstall the extension
• Data is automatically cleaned up after 7 days of inactivity per save entry

04 Data Sharing

We do not share data with anyone. We cannot share data because we do not have it. There are no third-party integrations, ad networks, analytics providers, or data brokers involved in FormSaver in any way.

FormSaver makes zero outbound network requests. You can verify this yourself using your browser's DevTools Network panel while the extension is active.

05 Permissions We Request

FormSaver requests the minimum permissions necessary to function:

• activeTab / all_urls — Required to read form fields on the page you're currently viewing and inject the save/restore functionality
• storage — Required to save and retrieve your form data locally using the browser storage API
• scripting — Required to inject the content script that monitors form fields on web pages

We do not request access to your browsing history, bookmarks, cookies, clipboard, camera, microphone, or any other sensitive browser data.

06 Password Fields

By default, FormSaver does not save password fields (type="password"). This setting is off by default and must be explicitly enabled by the user in the extension settings.

If you choose to enable password saving:

• Passwords are obfuscated before being written to local storage
• Passwords are never shown in plain text in the extension UI — they appear as ••••••••
• Passwords remain stored only on your local device
• We strongly recommend NOT enabling this feature on shared, work, or public computers

07 Data Retention & Deletion

You are in complete control of your data at all times:

• Auto-saves are automatically deleted after 7 days of inactivity
• You can delete individual saved entries from the extension popup at any time
• You can delete all saved data at once from the Settings panel
• Uninstalling the extension permanently deletes all locally stored data

There is no "account deletion" process because there is no account. All data lives on your device and is entirely within your control.

08 Children's Privacy

FormSaver does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since FormSaver collects no data at all, it is inherently compliant with COPPA and similar children's privacy laws.

09 Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes in the future, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. Since FormSaver collects no data, any future changes are expected to be minor clarifications rather than substantive changes to data practices.

We will never introduce data collection, analytics, or server-side storage without explicit user consent and a prominent update to this policy.
