Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 1, 2026 · Last updated: June 26, 2026

🔒
Short version: Go Shortcuts collects nothing. Zero data leaves your browser. Your shortcuts live only in Chrome’s built-in storage — no servers, no analytics, no tracking, ever.

Who we are

Go Shortcuts is a free Chrome extension built and maintained by an independent developer. The extension is available on the Chrome Web Store and its website is at gotoshortcut.com.

What data we collect

None. Go Shortcuts does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on any server. The extension never makes an external network request of any kind.

What is stored and where

The only data Go Shortcuts writes is the shortcuts you create yourself. This data is stored exclusively inside Chrome using the chrome.storage API, which keeps it either:

  • Local storage — on your device only, never leaves your machine.
  • Sync storage — synced via your Google account to other Chrome devices you’re signed in to, using Chrome’s own encrypted sync infrastructure. This data goes through Google’s servers as part of Chrome Sync, governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.

You choose which storage mode to use. The extension does not have access to which Google account you use or any other Chrome Sync data.

Usage statistics

The extension tracks how many times each shortcut is used. This data is stored locally in chrome.storage.local on your device. It is never transmitted anywhere. You can reset or delete it at any time from the options page.

Permissions

Go Shortcuts requests exactly two Chrome permissions:

  • storage — to save and read your shortcuts.
  • tabs — to navigate the active tab when you trigger a shortcut.

No other permissions are requested or used.

Third-party services

The extension itself uses no third-party services, SDKs, or analytics. The marketing website (gotoshortcut.com) may use standard web hosting that logs HTTP requests (IP address, browser, page visited), as is standard for any website. No advertising or behavioral tracking tools are used.

Children’s privacy

Go Shortcuts does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Because the extension collects no data at all, there is nothing to collect from anyone of any age.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the updated date at the top of this page will change and a note will appear in the changelog. Continued use of the extension after a policy change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
