Privacy Policy for Auto Copy Selected Text

Last Updated: September 12, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how the "Auto Copy Selected Text" extension (the "Extension") handles your information. This policy applies to the version of the Extension available for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other compatible browsers.

Your privacy is extremely important to us. Our goal is to provide a useful tool without compromising your personal data.

1. No Data Collection

The Auto Copy Selected Text extension is designed to be a completely private, client-side application.
We do not collect, store, track, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) or any other user data.

All data generated by the Extension is stored locally on your own computer.

2. Data Handled by the Extension

The Extension needs to store some data locally in your browser to function correctly. This data includes:

User Preferences: Your settings such as whether auto-copy is enabled, toast notifications visibility, delay time (ms), and whitelist/blacklist domains.
Domain Mode: Whether the extension runs in whitelist or blacklist mode.

This information is stored exclusively on your local machine using your browser’s built-in storage mechanism (e.g., chrome.storage.sync or browser.storage.sync).

This data is never sent to us or any third party. If you uninstall the Extension, this data will be permanently deleted by your browser.

3. Permissions

The Extension requests a minimal set of permissions required for its functionality:

storage: To save your preferences locally.
clipboardWrite: To copy selected text into your clipboard.
activeTab & scripting: To inject the content script into active pages so the extension can detect and copy highlighted text.

The Extension does not read, alter, or collect any webpage content beyond what is necessary to copy highlighted text.

4. No Third-Party Services

The Extension does not use any third-party services, analytics tools, or advertising networks.
It operates entirely offline and does not make any external network requests.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your privacy.
