Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains what information Quickeys collects and how it's used. Quickeys is a Chrome extension designed to create and manage custom keyboard shortcuts for your browser.
Information We Collect
Quickeys collects the following information as you use the extension:
- Website content: We access webpage elements and content to interact with them when shortcuts are triggered. This allows the extension to click buttons, fill forms, or manipulate page elements.
- Web browsing history: We access your current URL and browsing history to enable site-specific shortcuts that only activate on specific websites.
- User activity: We capture keyboard combinations to detect when shortcuts should be activated. The extension monitors keyboard events to recognize when you've triggered a custom shortcut.
- Settings and preferences: We store your custom shortcuts, site patterns, and extension configurations.
Information Collected Automatically
The extension automatically collects:
- Current URL and domain information of pages you visit
- Keyboard combinations you press
- Page elements and structure when shortcuts interact with webpage content
How We Use Your Information
All data is processed locally within your browser and used solely to provide the core functionality of the extension:
- Detecting keyboard shortcuts: To recognize when you've pressed a keyboard combination to trigger a shortcut
- Executing commands on websites: To perform actions like clicking buttons, filling forms, or controlling media
- Applying site-specific shortcuts: To enable shortcuts that only work on specific websites
- Maintaining your preferences: To save your custom shortcuts and extension settings
How Your Data is Handled
- Local Processing: All data is processed entirely on your device.
- No External Servers: Your data never leaves your browser or gets sent to external servers.
- Chrome Storage API: Your shortcuts and settings are stored using Chrome's built-in storage API, which keeps the data on your device.
Data Storage and Retention
Quickeys stores your configuration data (custom shortcuts, settings) using Chrome's storage API. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to external servers. Your data is retained until:
- You manually remove shortcuts or reset the extension
- You uninstall the extension
- You clear your browser data
No data is retained on our servers as all processing occurs locally on your device.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Quickeys does not share any user data with third parties or external services. Since all data is processed locally on your device and never transmitted to any servers, there is no sharing of your information with:
- The Owner
- Third-party companies or individuals
- Advertising or analytics providers
- Any other external parties
Information Security
The extension's design inherently protects your privacy since all data remains local to your device. This approach eliminates many security concerns related to data transmission and external storage.
User Rights and Control
You can view and manage all stored data by:
- Viewing your shortcuts in the extension's options page
- Editing or deleting individual shortcuts
- Clearing all data by resetting the extension
- Uninstalling the extension to remove all associated data
