AutoFill Form Helper
What is stored
Only what you explicitly ask to save. When you choose Save this form as…, the extension stores:
- The values you entered in that form’s fields.
- Each field’s visible label and the selectors used to find it again.
- The address of the page (origin and path, without query string), so the profile can be matched next time.
- The name you gave the profile, and the timestamps when it was created and updated.
Fields you untick in the save dialog are not stored at all. Hidden form fields
(type="hidden") are never collected.
Password fields
If the form contains a password field and you leave it ticked when saving, its value is stored the same way as any other field — in plain text, in local storage on your own machine. It is marked with a lock icon on the manage page. It is never transmitted anywhere.
On a shared or public computer, untick that row in the save dialog, or delete the profile afterwards from the manage page.
Where it is stored
In chrome.storage.local, Chrome’s local storage area for extensions,
on the device you are using. It is not synced to your Google account and it is not sent to us
or to anyone else.
What is never done
- No data is uploaded to any server. The extension makes no network requests at all.
- There is no account, no sign-in and no user identifier.
- There is no analytics, telemetry, tracking or crash reporting.
- No data is shared with, sold to, or transferred to any third party.
- Nothing is used for advertising, credit assessment, or any purpose unrelated to filling the form you asked it to fill.
Why each permission is needed
| Permission | Reason |
|---|---|
| storage | To keep your saved profiles on your own device. |
| contextMenus | To provide the right-click entries for saving and filling. |
| scripting | To inject the page script into tabs that were already open when the extension was installed or updated. |
| tabs | To read the address of the active tab, so the matching profile can be offered. |
| host permissions (http / https) | Forms exist on any website, so the extension must be able to read and fill form fields on whichever page you choose. It only does so when you explicitly trigger a save or a fill. |
Keeping and deleting your data
Your profiles stay until you remove them. You can delete any single profile from the toolbar popup or the manage page, and you can export everything to a JSON file at any time. Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it, as Chrome clears an extension’s local storage when it is removed.
Children
This extension is a general-purpose utility. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect anything from them — it collects nothing from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date. Any change that affects how data is handled will also be described in the extension’s release notes.
