Effective Date: March 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy applies to the "Simple Shortlinks" browser extension. We believe in your right to privacy. This policy outlines our data handling practices and demonstrates our commitment to keeping your browsing data secure and strictly on your own device.
Simple Shortlinks does not collect, transmit, distribute, or sell any personal user data.
All data created by the user, including shortcuts, destination URLs, and matching patterns, is saved entirely locally on your device using the browser's built-in local storage API. We do not use external servers, cloud databases, or third-party analytics trackers.
To function properly, Simple Shortlinks requires certain browser permissions. Here is exactly how they are used:
<all_urls> / tabs: These permissions are strictly required to allow the extension's background routing engine to intercept your typed shortcut commands (e.g., "go myshortlink") from the address bar and redirect your active tab to your desired destination. We do not monitor, log, or store your browsing history.declarativeNetRequest: This permission allows the extension to register your specific URL redirects with the browser's native network engine.storage: This permission is used exclusively to save your configured shortcuts locally to your computer's hard drive so they remain available when you close and reopen your browser.Because Simple Shortlinks does not collect any data, no data is ever shared with, or sold to, third parties.
If we add new features to Simple Shortlinks that require a change in how data is handled, we will update this Privacy Policy and clearly indicate the effective date of the changes.
