Free Privacy Policy Generator for Chrome Extension — GDPR Compliant

🇪🇺 Key GDPR Requirements

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the world's most comprehensive data privacy law, applying to any organization that processes data of EU residents — regardless of where the organization is based. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.

• Lawful basis for processing must be identified and documented (consent, contract, legitimate interest, etc.)
• Privacy by design and default must be embedded in your systems
• Data subjects have the right to access, rectify, erase, and port their data
• Data breaches must be reported to supervisory authorities within 72 hours
• A Data Protection Officer (DPO) is required for large-scale processing of sensitive data
• Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) required with all third-party processors
• International transfers outside the EEA require specific safeguards (SCCs, adequacy decisions)

Chrome Extension — Specific Considerations

Chrome extensions have access to sensitive browser data that ordinary websites cannot access — browsing history, tab contents, form data, and network requests. The Chrome Web Store requires a detailed privacy policy and prohibits collecting more data than necessary for the extension's core functionality. Any data transmitted to remote servers must be explicitly disclosed, and many categories of browser data collection require prominent disclosure even within the privacy policy.

Data typically collected by Chrome Extension businesses: browsing history (if accessed), tab URLs and content (if accessed), form data (if accessed), browser cookies accessed by the extension, network request data, user settings and preferences

• Chrome Web Store privacy policy requirements
• Browsing history and tab data collection disclosure
• Limited use policy compliance for sensitive data
• Remote server data transmission disclosure
• Extension permissions and what each accesses
