Privacy Policy
Open in Profile — Privacy Policy
Open in Profile does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data of any kind.
The extension communicates exclusively with a locally installed companion application on your own computer. No data is sent to any external server, third party, or remote service.
Your profile names and preferences are stored in a single local file at %APPDATA%\OpenInProfile\profiles.json on your PC. This file never leaves your computer.
The extension requests the following Chrome permissions:
contextMenus — to add the right-click menu items.
tabs — to read the current tab's URL when you click the toolbar button.
nativeMessaging — to communicate with the local companion app.
scripting — to show error messages if the companion app isn't installed.
No analytics. No tracking. No ads. No accounts. No data of any kind leaves your device.
