Extension needs privacy policy #47

Open martey opened 9 years ago

Since the extension uses both an external validation server (where user data is sent to be validated) and Google Analytics, it should also include a privacy policy in order to properly inform users about how their data is being used.

FYI, both the Google Chrome Web Store Terms of Service and the Google Analytics Terms of Service require a privacy policy.

Thanks for bringing this up. Sounds like a good idea regardless of the terms of service, as I'd like to be as open as possible about data collection.

It largely boils down to not collecting or storing (in the case of source code which has to go to the validator) anything that's got any possibility of containing personal information. Google Analytics currently only counts launches, but I may look to include other usage data in the future, with the mentioned caveats. I think a more official policy is needed before going down that road, though.
