SafeShare Browser Extension
Local processing. No data collection. No transmission to SafeShare.
This policy applies to the SafeShare browser extension for Chrome and Edge. It describes which data the extension processes locally, which permissions it uses, and where its limits are.
Responsible is the provider named in the imprint.

The extension works entirely locally. It contains no analytics or telemetry, sets no cookies, contacts no external servers, and transmits no URLs, browsing data, or any other information to SafeShare or third parties.
Checking via the popup: When you click the extension icon, the address of the active tab is read locally and shown in cleaned form in the popup. This happens only on your click and only for the active tab.
Checking via the context menu: When you inspect a link via “Check with SafeShare”, the link address is briefly kept in your browser’s local session storage and shown on a local results page. It never leaves the browser.
Automatic cleaning (can be switched off): With the automatic mode enabled, the browser itself removes known tracking parameters from the destination address via a declarative rule (declarativeNetRequest) before a page navigation is sent. This applies exclusively to top-level GET navigations over http/https. The rule works with a fixed list of exactly named parameters. The extension does not read page content; there are no content scripts.
Settings: The state of the automatic-mode switch is stored locally in your browser’s extension storage. It is not synced and not transmitted.
No collection, storage, or transmission of browsing history, visited pages, search queries, or usage statistics. No sharing or selling of data. No advertising. No external network requests initiated by the extension.
activeTab: Check the active tab’s address locally in the popup – only on click.
contextMenus: Provide the “Check with SafeShare” context menu entry.
storage: Store the automatic-mode setting locally; briefly hand over the context menu link address locally.
declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess: Declarative cleaning rule applied by the browser itself.
Host permission http://*/* and https://*/*: Required so the cleaning rule can act on navigations to any website. The extension uses this permission exclusively for the declarative rule; it does not read page content with it.
The automatic mode removes only the exactly named tracking parameters embedded in the extension. Rare variants may remain undetected and can be removed via the popup check.
Input typed into the address bar may be sent by the browser to its suggestion service independently of this extension, even while typing. The extension does not prevent this; your browser settings govern that behavior.
Destination sites may still use their own logic, server logs, cookies, or other technical mechanisms. The extension is not a VPN and not a complete tracker blocker.
This policy will be updated when functionality, permissions, or legal requirements change. The version published here is authoritative.
