Chrome Web Store · Privacy policy URL
“A privacy policy is required” — for your Chrome extension
The Chrome Web Store needs a privacy policy URL once your extension handles user data. Get a hosted HTTPS one.
A few quick questions and you get a hosted link you can paste into Chrome Web Store right away.
Chrome Web Store requirements
The Chrome Web Store requires a privacy policy URL once your extension handles user or personal data, and the Developer Dashboard blocks publishing until you add one and certify your data use. The link must be public and describe what the extension collects. A hosted HTTPS page satisfies the requirement and stays live as you ship updates.
What Chrome Web Store checks before listing
- Chrome Web Store program policy: if your product handles any user data, you must post an accurate and up-to-date privacy policy and make it accessible through a link in the designated Developer Dashboard field.
- The policy, together with any in-product disclosures, must say how the product collects, uses and shares user data and name every party that receives it.
- Google's user data FAQ: data stored only locally still counts, so products that handle user information must post a privacy policy; every item must also complete the Privacy practices tab disclosures and the limited-use certification to be updated or published.
- The limited-use disclosure must be on the project homepage or one click away; the privacy policy page can serve as that page.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a privacy policy URL for Chrome Web Store?
Chrome Web Store — like most integration platforms — asks for a link to a privacy policy that explains what data you collect and how it's used. A hosted privacy policy URL satisfies that field and stays online even if your own site or integration changes.
How quickly can I get a Chrome Web Store privacy policy URL?
Usually a few minutes. Answer a short set of questions about your integration, and we generate a compliant policy and host it at a stable link you can paste straight into Chrome Web Store.
Can I edit the policy after I've submitted the link to Chrome Web Store?
Yes. Your privacy policy URL stays the same while you update the content behind it, so you never have to resubmit a new link to Chrome Web Store.
