Frequently asked questions
When does a Chrome extension require a privacy policy?
Whenever it collects or transmits personal or sensitive user data, including web history, content of pages, or authentication info. You must disclose this and certify Limited Use in the developer dashboard.
Do I need terms of service if I already have a privacy policy?
They serve different jobs. A privacy policy explains data handling; terms of service set the contract for using your product. Most apps benefit from having both.
Can I edit the generated terms of service?
Absolutely. Export the document as Markdown or HTML and adjust the clauses to match how your product actually works.
