Extension Privacy Policy

This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data, browsing history, or QR code content. Every QR code is generated entirely on your own device using client-side code — nothing you type into the popup, and nothing about the pages you use it on, is ever sent to QRSen’s servers or any third party.

The extension turns text, a URL, a link, or a page address into a QR code, either from its toolbar popup or from three right-click context menu options (“Generate QR code for this page,” “…for this link,” and “…for this selection”). QR codes are rendered using the same open-source qr-code-styling library (MIT licensed) that powers the generator at https://qrsen.com/qr-generator, running locally in the popup — there is no server-side generation step and no network request involved in creating a code.

activeTab: lets the popup read the address of the tab you have open at the moment you click the toolbar icon, so it can pre-fill the QR input with that page’s URL. It does not grant access to any other tab, and does not persist after the popup closes.

contextMenus: adds the three right-click menu items described above. The extension only receives the specific link URL, selected text, or page URL involved in the click you made — never the surrounding page content.

storage: saves your last-used color and dot style locally on your device (via chrome.storage.local), purely so the popup remembers your preference next time. This value never leaves your device and is not synced to any account, because the extension has no concept of an account or sign-in.

The extension requests no host permissions, so it cannot read or modify the content of any website you visit beyond the single interaction (page URL, clicked link, or selected text) needed to generate the code you asked for.

No analytics, telemetry, or crash-reporting code of any kind ships in the extension. No browsing history, form data, cookies, passwords, or page content is read, stored, or transmitted. The text or URL you type into the popup is used only to render the QR code on screen and is discarded the moment the popup closes — it is never written anywhere persistent.

When you click Download, the PNG or SVG file is generated and saved locally by your browser — the same as any other file download, and no upload occurs first. The Copy button uses your browser’s standard clipboard API to place the generated image on your local clipboard; nothing is sent over the network for this either.

The extension does not embed any third-party scripts, ads, or trackers. Its only external links are the “Open full editor” and “Privacy” links in its footer, which open https://qrsen.com in a new browser tab — subject to the main site’s own Privacy Policy, which covers cookies, analytics and advertising on qrsen.com itself (not inside the extension).

If a future version of the extension changes what data it accesses, this page will be updated accordingly and the “Last updated” date above will change. Material changes will also be reflected in the extension’s Chrome Web Store listing.
