1. Overview

Better Password ("we", "our", or "us") provides a Chrome browser extension that helps users generate and manage strong, secure passwords with ease. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the Better Password Chrome Extension (the "Extension") and related services such as betterpassword.io.

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your data.

2. Information We Collect

The Better Password Chrome Extension is designed with privacy-first principles — meaning we do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data from your device.

Specifically:

No personal identifiers: We do not collect your name, email, IP address, or browsing activity.
No saved passwords: Passwords generated by the Extension are processed locally on your device and never sent to our servers or any third parties.
No tracking inside the Extension: The Extension itself does not include analytics, cookies, or tracking scripts.

The website betterpassword.io does use limited analytics and advertising services, which are described in the sections below.

2a. Cookies and Similar Technologies

When you visit betterpassword.io, we and our third-party partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to operate the website, understand how it is used, and serve advertisements. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device that allows a website or its partners to recognize your browser.

You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the core password-generation functionality, which runs entirely in your browser.

2b. Google Analytics

betterpassword.io uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand aggregate traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers to collect information such as the pages you visit, referring URLs, approximate location, device type, and browser. This information is used in aggregate to improve the site and is not used to identify you personally.

You can learn more about Google Analytics and opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

2c. Advertising and Google AdSense

betterpassword.io may display advertisements served by Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google LLC. To serve these ads, Google and its partners, as third-party vendors, use cookies and device identifiers.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

For more information about how Google uses data from sites or apps that use its services, please review Google's Privacy & Terms page.

3. Local Data Storage

The Extension may store certain settings or preferences (such as theme or password length defaults) locally in your browser's storage.

This data:

Never leaves your device.
Can be deleted anytime by removing the Extension or clearing your browser's local storage.

4. Permissions

The Extension requests only the minimal permissions required to function properly, such as:

storage – to save your user preferences locally.
activeTab (optional) – if you use features that fill generated passwords directly into web forms.

We do not use any permission to collect browsing data, monitor activity, or access unrelated information.

5. Third-Party Services

The Chrome Extension does not integrate with or send data to any third-party service.

The website betterpassword.io uses Google Analytics and Google AdSense, as described in sections 2b and 2c above. Links from the Extension or the website to external sites (such as our NPM packages on npmjs.com or our GitHub repository) are subject to the privacy policies of those external sites.

6. Your Choices and Control

You have complete control over your data:

You may uninstall the Extension at any time.
You can clear local data through your browser settings.

7. Children's Privacy

Better Password is not directed to or intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from minors.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our product or legal requirements. The latest version will always be available at betterpassword.io/privacy.
