Overview
SaveForm is a Chrome extension designed to operate locally and minimize data collection. It lets you save values from supported web form fields as named presets and restore those values later.
Form data handled by SaveForm
When you explicitly choose to save a preset, SaveForm may process the current values of supported fields on that page. This data is used only to provide SaveForm’s save and restore functionality.
Local storage
Saved presets are stored locally using Chrome extension storage associated with the browser profile where SaveForm is installed. Saved form values are not uploaded to SaveForm-operated servers. There is currently no cloud storage or cloud backup. Access to preset storage is restricted to trusted extension contexts.
Page and field metadata
To associate a preset with a page, SaveForm stores the page origin and a SHA-256 hash of its URL pathname. It does not store URL query strings, fragments, credentials, or the raw pathname. SaveForm also stores limited field-identifying metadata needed to match supported controls when restoring a preset.
Sensitive fields
SaveForm uses field type, autocomplete information, and visible field-identifying text to exclude fields identifiable as passwords and passcodes; OTP, MFA, and recovery codes; payment-card and bank-account details; government and patient identifiers; medical-condition fields; API, access, session, and webhook secrets or tokens; private and signing keys; and file uploads. It also blocks a small set of high-confidence secret value formats.
These safeguards are applied before capture, before local persistence, during migration of older saved data, and again before restore. Automated detection cannot determine whether arbitrary content in a generic field is sensitive. Do not use SaveForm to store confidential or highly sensitive information in ordinary free-text fields.
No account
No SaveForm user account is currently required to use the extension.
No analytics or tracking
The current SaveForm MVP does not include product analytics, advertising trackers, or telemetry.
No sale of personal data
SaveForm does not sell users’ form data or personal data.
Network transmission
The current extension does not transmit saved form values to SaveForm servers. This does not prevent the website you are visiting from receiving data when you interact with or submit its forms; that website’s own privacy practices apply to those interactions. SaveForm does not automatically submit forms.
Data retention and deletion
Presets remain in local Chrome extension storage until you delete them, replace them, clear extension data, remove SaveForm, remove or lose the browser profile, or Chrome otherwise clears extension data. Deleting a preset removes its active stored record; replacing it overwrites the prior record. SaveForm does not create an undo history, backup copy, cloud copy, or server copy. Browser or operating-system backups and forensic recovery are outside SaveForm's control, so deletion is not guaranteed disk-level secure erasure.
Uninstalling SaveForm
Chrome clears an extension's local storage when the extension is removed. Because all SaveForm preset data is kept in extension-owned local storage and there is no cloud backup, removing SaveForm removes the active local preset store and the presets are not recoverable through SaveForm. Browser or operating-system backups remain outside SaveForm's control.
Local-device security
SaveForm does not encrypt presets with a separate user-controlled passphrase. Its extension-level controls cannot protect data from malware running as the user, a compromised browser profile or operating-system account, forensic access to the device, or browser and operating-system backups. Use normal device, account, and disk protections, and do not store highly sensitive information in SaveForm.
Website privacy
SaveForm’s website code does not create cookies, use browser storage, or include SaveForm-controlled analytics or advertising trackers. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages, so GitHub may process standard request and hosting information under GitHub’s own privacy practices. SaveForm does not control GitHub’s infrastructure or its logs.
Children
SaveForm is a general-purpose browser utility and is not specifically directed toward children.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
This policy may be updated as SaveForm evolves. When it changes, the effective and last-updated date shown at the top of this page will be revised.
Contact
SaveForm does not currently have a dedicated support email. For privacy questions, support, or feedback, open an issue in the public SaveForm site repository. Do not include sensitive form values or other secrets in a public issue.
