Overview
BareScript is a browser extension that allows you to create and run custom JavaScript scripts on websites. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data BareScript accesses and how it's handled.
BareScript does not collect, transmit, or share any user data.
Data Collection
BareScript does not collect any data:
- No personal information is collected
- No usage analytics or telemetry
- No crash reports sent externally
- No cookies or tracking mechanisms
Data Storage
All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage API:
- User scripts - The JavaScript code you write
- Script settings - Name, match patterns, enabled/disabled state
- Extension settings - Global enabled/disabled toggle
This data never leaves your browser. There are no external servers, no cloud sync, and no remote backups.
Permissions Explained
BareScript requires certain browser permissions to function. Here's why each is needed:
Storage Permission
Purpose: Save your scripts and settings locally in your browser.
Scripting Permission
Purpose: Inject your custom scripts into web pages when they match your specified URL patterns.
Tabs Permission
Purpose: Read the current tab's URL to determine which of your scripts should run on that page.
Host Permissions (All URLs)
Purpose: Allow your scripts to run on any website you choose.
Important: While BareScript requests access to all URLs, your scripts only execute on pages that match the @match patterns you explicitly define. The extension does not run any code on websites unless you create a script targeting that site.
Remote Code
BareScript does not load or execute any remote code. All functionality is contained within the extension package. The only JavaScript that runs is:
- The extension's own code (popup, dashboard, background worker)
- Scripts you create and save locally
Third-Party Services
BareScript does not use any third-party services:
- No analytics (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
- No error tracking (Sentry, Bugsnag, etc.)
- No advertising networks
- No external APIs
Data Sharing
BareScript does not share any data because it does not collect any data. Your scripts and settings remain entirely on your device.
Children's Privacy
BareScript does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13 years of age.

If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be published with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

BareScript is open source. You can review the complete source code to verify these privacy claims.
