Here's what matters most, before you read the full policy:
Contents
Snippet Manager ("the Extension", "we", "us") is a Chrome browser extension that allows developers to save, preview, and organise HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code snippets. This Privacy Policy explains how the Extension handles your information.
The short version: we do not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information. All data remains on your device or in your own Google Drive account.
The Extension does not collect any of the following:
| Data Type | Collected? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Personal identifiers | No | No name, email, or account required to use the Extension. |
| Browsing history | No | The Extension does not read or record the pages you visit. |
| Analytics / telemetry | No | No usage data, crash reports, or feature telemetry is sent anywhere. |
| Snippet content | Local only |
Snippets are stored in chrome.storage.local on
your device. If Drive sync is enabled, they are stored in your
own Google Drive — never on our servers.
|
| Google account data | No | We use OAuth tokens to access Drive on your behalf but do not store or transmit your Google account details. |
Google Drive sync is an optional feature. If you enable it, the Extension uses the Google Drive API to read and write a hidden app data folder in your Google Drive.
drive.appdata scope, which limits access to a
private, hidden folder created exclusively for this Extension. It
cannot read, access, or modify any other files in your Google
Drive.
The Extension requests the following Chrome permissions and uses them solely as described:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| storage |
Saves your snippets locally using
chrome.storage.local.
|
| identity | Handles Google OAuth flow for optional Drive sync. Used only when you explicitly enable sync. |
No host permissions, tabs access, or broad web access is requested.
The only external service the Extension interacts with is the Google Drive API, and only when you opt in to sync. We do not integrate with any analytics platforms, advertising networks, crash reporting tools, or other third-party services.
Because we do not collect or store any data on our end, there is nothing for us to retain or delete. Your snippet data lives in two places, both fully under your control:
The Extension does not transmit your data to any server we control, which eliminates the most common attack surface for data breaches. OAuth tokens used for Google Drive are managed by the Chrome identity API and are never exposed to our code in plain text.
If you discover a security vulnerability, please contact us at the address below.
If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users via the Extension's update notes in the Chrome Web Store.
Continued use of the Extension after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
