Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

At Populate Snippets, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we handle your data.

Data Collection

Populate Snippets operates on a privacy-first principle:

  • No data collection: We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data, snippets, or typing information.
  • Local storage only: All your snippets and settings are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's local storage API.
  • No analytics: We do not use any analytics or tracking tools to monitor your usage.
  • No third parties: Your data is never shared with third parties because we never have access to it.

Permissions Explained

Populate Snippets requires certain Chrome permissions to function:

  • Storage: To save your snippets locally on your device.
  • Active Tab: To detect when you type shortcuts and expand them in text fields.

These permissions are used solely for the extension's core functionality and do not enable any data collection.

Your Data Rights

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

  • You have complete control over your snippets at all times.
  • You can export or delete your data anytime through the extension.
  • Uninstalling the extension removes all associated data from your browser.

Security

Your snippets are stored securely in Chrome's local storage, which is isolated from websites and other extensions. Only Populate Snippets can access this data.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Contact Us

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or Populate Snippets, need support, or want to report an issue, please contact us:

📧 Support Email:
raman.prasad@octoenergy.com

We typically respond within 24-48 hours. For urgent issues, please include "URGENT" in your subject line.

Bottom Line: Your privacy is paramount. We built Populate Snippets to work entirely on your device, with zero data leaving your browser. Your snippets are yours, and yours alone.
