Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

TextFlow ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that expands short text triggers into full content with dynamic variables. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Local Storage

The Extension uses Chrome's local storage and IndexedDB to save your rules and preferences (e.g., language setting). This data never leaves your device.

2.2 Text Input Observation

The Extension listens to keystrokes in input fields to detect your configured triggers. The text you type is processed entirely within your browser — no keystrokes, selections, or clipboard content is ever sent to any server.

2.3 Clipboard & Selection

When a rule uses {{clipboard}} or {{selected}}, the Extension reads the clipboard or the current selection only at the moment of expansion. This data is used locally to produce the expansion and is not stored or transmitted.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

• Browsing history or page URLs
• Cookies or authentication tokens
• Personal information (name, email, address, etc.)
• Passwords or form data
• Keystrokes outside of trigger detection

4. Data Retention

All rules and preferences are stored locally on your device. No data is retained on any external server. Uninstalling the Extension removes all locally stored data.

5. Your Rights

You can disable the Extension at any time from chrome://extensions. You can also delete individual rules from the options page at any time.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes through the Extension or on this page.
