UnitConvertersGo Chrome Extension — Privacy Policy
The UnitConvertersGo Chrome Extension works completely offline inside your browser. It does not collect, store on a server, transmit, or share any personal data, browsing activity, or conversion inputs.
All 31 unit categories and conversion formulas run locally on your device with no network requests.
No personal information, IP addresses, browsing history, or telemetry is ever collected or sent to a server.
Requests only contextMenus (right-click convert) and storage (local settings).
1. Privacy Summary (Zero Data Collection)
This Privacy Policy applies specifically to the UnitConvertersGo Chrome Extension. Our privacy principle is simple:
- No user account, email address, or sign-up is ever required.
- No personal data, browsing history, or web page content is collected or transmitted.
- No remote servers are contacted when you open the popup or convert units.
- No third-party analytics, tracking pixels, or advertising scripts are included in the extension.
2. 100% Offline Local Calculation
Every conversion across all 31 supported categories (including Everyday, Technology, Home and kitchen, Engineering, Electrical, and specialty units) is calculated directly on your computer inside the extension using built-in mathematical conversion factors.
Whether you type a number into the unit selector, enter a shorthand query like "5 km to miles" or "72 f in c" into the quick search box, or convert a highlighted value via the right-click menu, your inputs never leave your browser.
3. Chrome Permissions & Why We Ask for Them
The UnitConvertersGo Chrome Extension follows the principle of least privilege and requests only two standard Chrome Manifest V3 permissions:
Used exclusively to add the UnitConvertersGo conversion option when you select text on a web page (for example, highlighting "10 kg") and right-click. The extension only processes the selected text snippet at the moment you interact with the context menu and never monitors or logs your browsing activity.
Used exclusively to save your preferences locally inside your browser (chrome.storage.local), including your preferred theme (light or dark), decimal precision setting, last selected category/units, and your last five conversions.
The extension does not request tabs, history, cookies, webRequest, or broad <all_urls> host permissions.
4. Local Storage & Last 5 Conversions
To make everyday calculations faster, the extension remembers your last five conversions alongside your display preferences (light/dark theme and decimal places). This data is stored strictly on your own device in Chrome's local extension storage and is never synced or uploaded to any external server.
Uninstalling the UnitConvertersGo Chrome Extension or clearing extension data in your browser settings immediately and permanently deletes all locally stored settings and recent conversions.
5. Optional Links to unitconvertersgo.com
Each conversion result in the extension popup includes an optional link to the matching converter page on unitconvertersgo.com, where you can view detailed formulas, worked examples, and printable reference tables.
The extension never opens or connects to unitconvertersgo.com in the background. A connection to our website only occurs if you voluntarily click the website link to open the page in a new browser tab, at which point our standard Website Privacy Policy applies to your visit on the website.
6. No Analytics, Ads, or Third-Party Tracking
The UnitConvertersGo Chrome Extension contains no third-party analytics libraries (such as Google Analytics), no advertising networks, no fingerprinting scripts, and no external remote code. All code and unit definitions are packaged directly within the extension bundle reviewed by the Chrome Web Store.
7. Chrome Web Store User Data Policy Compliance
The UnitConvertersGo Chrome Extension complies fully with the Google Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies and the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Because we do not collect, access, or transmit any personal or sensitive user data, no user data is ever sold, transferred to third parties, or used for advertising, creditworthiness, or lending purposes.
