# Privacy Policy — Browser Shortcuts Master
**Last updated:** August 25, 2026
## Overview
Browser Shortcuts Master is a Chrome extension with one purpose: to help you learn Chrome and OS keyboard shortcuts. It shows a random shortcut tip in a small floating card every 5–10 minutes, or on demand, using the correct key combo for your operating system.
This policy explains exactly what data the extension touches and what it does with it.
## Information we collect
**None.** Browser Shortcuts Master does not collect, log, or transmit any personal information, browsing history, page content, or usage data. It has no server, no analytics, and no account system — there is nothing for it to send anywhere, and nowhere for it to send it to.
## What is stored, and where
The extension saves a small amount of state locally on your device, using Chrome's `storage.local` API:
- Whether tips are currently paused
- Whether tips are snoozed, and until when
- The index of the last tip shown (so the same tip doesn't repeat twice in a row)
- Your detected OS family (Mac, or Windows/Linux/ChromeOS), used only to show the correct key combo
This data never leaves your device. It is not synced to any server, not visible to the developer, and not shared with any third party.
## Permissions this extension uses
- **alarms** — schedules the periodic tip on a randomized 5–10 minute timer.
- **storage** — saves the local state listed above.
- **tabs** — lets the background service worker find the currently active
tab when a tip is due, since the periodic tip isn't triggered by a fresh click from you.
- **scripting** — injects the small tip-card element into the active tab so it can be displayed.
- **host permission (`<all_urls>`)** — needed because a tip can appear on whatever site you happen to be browsing, which can't be known in advance
The injected code only ever adds the tip card; it never reads page content, form data, or cookies, and makes no network requests.
## Third-party sharing
None. This extension makes no network requests of any kind, includes no
third-party analytics or advertising SDKs, and shares no data with anyone,
because it doesn't collect any data to share.
## Remote code
None. All code ships inside the packaged extension. Nothing is fetched,
evaluated, or loaded from a remote server at runtime.
## Children's privacy
This extension is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, regardless of age.
## Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change, and the updated version will be posted at this same URL.
