Privacy Policy — Alex Apps Copy-Paste
Last updated: 2026-07-23
Alex Apps Copy-Paste copies the values of form fields on a web page and lets you paste them into another form. This policy explains exactly what it does with your data.
What data the extension handles
- Form field values you explicitly copy — text, dropdown selections, dates, checkbox states — from the currently active tab, only when you press Copy (button or keyboard shortcut).
- Password fields (
type=password) and hidden fields (type=hidden) are never copied or stored. - Your settings — interface language, the “only empty fields” option, and the names of the copies you save.
Where the data is stored
- Everything is stored locally in your browser via
chrome.storage.local. - Your data never leaves your device. The extension makes no network requests at all — no servers, no backend, no analytics, no telemetry, no host permissions.
- Image fields are copied as the preview already present on the page (a base64
data:image) and re-inserted into the target form locally, without downloading anything.
What the extension does NOT do
- It does not collect, sell, rent, or share any personal data.
- It does not track your browsing or history.
- It does not read pages in the background. It reads the active tab’s form only
when you press Copy, and writes to a page only when you press Paste — using the
activeTabpermission that your click/shortcut grants for that one tab.
Permissions and why they are needed
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
activeTab | Read the current form on Copy / fill it on Paste — only the tab you’re viewing, only on your action. |
scripting | Run the small copy/paste routine on that tab. |
storage | Remember your saved copies and settings locally. |
unlimitedStorage | Lift the 10 MB local-storage quota so copies that include attached files fit. Data still never leaves your browser. |
The extension requests no host permissions — it cannot read or contact any website on its own, and it makes no network requests.
Data retention & deletion
- A saved copy stays until you remove it with the Delete button, or uninstall the extension. Uninstalling removes all stored data.
Changes
Any change to this policy will update the “Last updated” date above.
