Privacy Policy for GST Calculator Extension
Last Updated: October 26, 2023
Thank you for using the GST Calculator browser extension ("the Extension"). Your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy explains what information the Extension does and does not collect, and how it is used.
1. Philosophy: Privacy by Design
Our core philosophy is to collect the absolute minimum amount of information necessary to provide a functional and useful tool. The GST Calculator is designed to be a completely private and self-contained utility.
2. No Data Collection
The GST Calculator extension does not collect, store, transmit, or share any of your personal data or financial information.
- No Personal Information: We do not ask for, access, or track any personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or location.
- No Financial Data: All calculations you perform within the extension (such as amounts, GST rates, and totals) are processed locally on your computer. This data is never sent to our servers or any third-party service. It exists only on your machine for the duration of your use.
- No Usage Analytics: We do not collect any analytics or data about how you interact with the extension, such as button clicks or feature usage.
3. How the Extension Works
The GST Calculator operates entirely within your browser on your local device.
- Local Processing: All calculations are performed directly on your computer. The logic for calculating GST, creating the visual graph, and generating the downloadable CSV file runs locally.
- Local Storage (for functionality): The extension may use your browser's local storage (chrome.storage) for essential, non-personal settings in the future, such as saving your last-used GST rate for convenience. This information is stored only on your computer and is never transmitted.
- Downloadable Data: The "Download as CSV" feature creates a file directly on your computer from the data you entered. This process is initiated by you and the data never leaves your device before you choose to save the file.
4. Third-Party Services
The GST Calculator is a self-contained application and does not integrate with or send any data to third-party services. It does not use external analytics or advertising platforms.
5. Permissions
The extension requests the minimum permissions necessary to function:
- : This permission allows the extension to save settings (like a default GST rate) on your computer for your own convenience. It is not used to track you.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make any significant changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
