Privacy Policy

All my chrome extensions are very simple scripts that don't collect or log any data.

In the case of my TextEditAid extension (github), you must provide your own server to handle the text edit/filter requests and then configure the plugin to use it:

• For maximum privacy, use a localhost web request to a server that only allows localhost connections.
• It is up to you to ensure that whatever server you choose to run is being used safely.
• No information goes to anything other than to the server that you configured to handle the requests.
• Don't ever set the server URL to anything that you don't trust.
• The example edit-server perl script defaults to only allowing localhost connections and requiring authentication, though it does put the text fields it is editing onto disk in a designated temp-dir, so:
  • It is best to avoid using the server on a shared system. At the very least, change the temp-dir setting to something private (and user-restricted).
  • If you edit things like passwords, you may want to manually remove the temp file(s) when you are done editing (since they are not expired right away).
