FormTrail Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the FormTrail Chrome extension handles information when you use it.

Effective date: July 25, 2026
Last updated: July 25, 2026

Privacy summary

FormTrail works locally in your Chrome profile. It does not require an account, does not use analytics or advertising, and does not send saved submission records to the developer or to external servers.

1. About FormTrail

FormTrail allows users to create private personal records of online forms they choose to scan and save.

FormTrail does not submit forms on your behalf. It does not continuously monitor websites. A form scan begins only after you explicitly activate the extension and request a scan on the current webpage.

2. Information FormTrail may process

When you explicitly request a form scan, FormTrail may temporarily process information visible in supported form fields on the current webpage, including:

FormTrail presents detected information for review before it is saved. You can exclude individual fields and choose not to create the record.

A saved record may also contain information that you add or select, such as:

3. Sensitive fields

FormTrail is designed to exclude or avoid selecting fields that appear to contain sensitive authentication or payment information. Examples include:

Other potentially sensitive fields, such as identity, passport, financial-account or similar information, may be left unselected by default when detected.

Important:

Automated field detection cannot guarantee that every sensitive field will be recognized correctly. Review the detected fields before saving a record and exclude anything you do not want stored.

4. File uploads

FormTrail does not read, copy or store the contents of files uploaded through a webpage form.

When supported and explicitly included, FormTrail may record only the displayed filename. The file itself is not accessed or saved by the extension.

5. How information is used

Information processed by FormTrail is used only to provide its user-facing purpose:

FormTrail does not use your information for advertising, marketing, profiling, credit decisions or unrelated purposes.

6. Local storage

FormTrail stores saved records and preferences locally in storage associated with the extension in your Chrome profile.

This information is not automatically uploaded to the developer or synchronized through a FormTrail server.

Data may remain on the device until you delete it, remove the extension, clear the extension's storage, or replace it by importing another backup.

7. Data sharing and external transmission

FormTrail does not sell, rent or share saved form records with advertisers, data brokers or other third parties.

FormTrail does not transmit saved form records, form contents, notes, browsing history or reminder details to the developer.

The extension does not use:

8. Browser permissions

FormTrail uses Chrome permissions only to provide its stated submission-recording features.

9. Exporting and importing records

FormTrail may allow you to export your records to a file and later import a compatible backup.

Exported files are created only after you request them. Once exported, those files are stored and protected according to the settings and security of your device and any location where you choose to copy them.

Review exported files before sharing them because they may contain information that you selected from online forms.

10. Reminders and notifications

Follow-up reminders are optional and are created only when you choose a reminder date.

Reminder information is processed locally through Chrome's extension features. FormTrail does not send reminder information to an external notification server.

11. Data deletion

You can delete individual records or all saved records from the FormTrail interface.

You may also remove locally stored extension data by removing FormTrail from Chrome or by clearing the extension's stored data through Chrome.

Because FormTrail does not maintain a developer-operated account or server-side record database, there is no separate online account that must be closed.

12. Data security

FormTrail minimizes external exposure by keeping its records within the user's Chrome profile and by avoiding developer-operated servers.

However, no local storage system can guarantee absolute security. Anyone who can access your unlocked device or Chrome profile may be able to access locally stored extension information.

Protect your device with appropriate account security, screen locking, operating-system updates and other security controls.

13. Children's privacy

FormTrail is not specifically directed toward children. The extension does not knowingly collect information from children through a developer-operated server.

14. Chrome Web Store Limited Use disclosure

FormTrail's use of information received from Chrome APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Information accessed through Chrome APIs is used only to provide or improve FormTrail's disclosed, user-facing purpose. It is not used for advertising, unrelated profiling or other undisclosed purposes.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when FormTrail's functionality, data practices or legal obligations change.

The effective date and last-updated date at the top of this page will be revised when material changes are published.
