Qkrs Chrome extension privacy policy

# Privacy Policy for Qkrs Text Expander
**Last Updated:** March 5, 2026
At Qkrs Text Expander, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and how it is protected.
## 1. Information We Collect
**We do not collect, process, or store any personal data.** 
The Qkrs Text Expander extension operates locally on your machine. When you activate the extension using the keyboard shortcut (`Ctrl+Q`), the extension captures the specific "page name" you type in order to fetch the corresponding text snippet. This captured text is not stored, logged, or transmitted anywhere other than directly to the specific Firebase database used to retrieve your requested snippet.
## 2. Information Sharing and Disclosure
Because we do not collect any personal data, we do not share, sell, or disclose any information with third parties.
## 3. Third-Party Services
The extension communicates securely with a specific Firebase Realtime Database (`fwdng-1d5f9.firebaseio.com`) solely for the purpose of retrieving the text snippets you request. The extension does not use any analytics, trackers, or other third-party data collection tools.
## 4. Permissions Used
The extension requires the following permissions to function:
- **`host_permissions` (`https://*.firebaseio.com/*`)**: Required to fetch your requested text snippets from the database in the background without being blocked by cross-origin restrictions.
- **`content_scripts` (`<all_urls>`)**: Required so the extension can detect when you press the activation shortcut (`Ctrl+Q`) and inject the fetched text directly into the active text field on the webpage you are currently viewing.
## 5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time if the functionality of the extension changes. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
