Privacy policy

Your receipts stay on your computer

Receipt Maker fills a payment receipt for your own business on your own device: type the business details, the items, tax and payment, see the page update as an 80 mm tape or an A4/Letter sheet, then save it as PDF or PNG or print it. That single job is everything the extension does, and all of it happens inside your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded — there is no server of ours for it to go to, and there is no account to create.

What stays on your device

  • The receipt you are filling in. The customer, the line items, the tax, the payment and the notes live in the open workspace tab until you start a new receipt, reload or close the tab. None of that is written to browser storage, and none of it is uploaded.
  • Your business profile. Unlike a one-shot form, this extension keeps the issuer so the next receipt takes a minute: the business name, address, contact, tax-id label and value, default tax name and rate, currency, country, document kind, footer, paper style, and the logo you chose (a PNG image stored as a data URL). That profile is written to the browser's own extension storage on this device. It is never uploaded.
  • The receipt number. The prefix and the next number are stored with the profile so a successful export can increment them. They stay on this device.
  • The PDF or PNG you save. It is built in your browser and written straight to your own disk by the browser download, or handed to your printer. It does not pass through anything of ours.

What the extension stores

The extension keeps two entries in the browser's own extension storage, on this device. Neither one ever leaves your device, because there is no server of ours for it to go to.

  • receiptMaker.v1 — your business profile and the receipt counter. This is the one object the extension writes for your work. It holds the profile fields named above, including the logo image, and the numbering pair (prefix and next number). It does not hold the customer, the items, the amounts, the notes or the payment of any receipt you filled in.
  • receiptMakerRatePrompt — whether we have already asked you to rate the extension: up to three timestamps of when the short rating line was shown, and, if you answered it or waved it away, the fact that you did. That record is the only reason the line can stop: it asks at most three times in a month, and never again once you have answered. It holds nothing about you or your receipts.

Those two entries are everything the extension stores. There is no e-mail and no identifier of you or of your computer in either one. What you put in the business profile is up to you — if you would rather it did not stay on the device, clear the fields. To delete everything, remove the extension: uninstalling deletes everything it stored.

The only pages this extension opens

  • The welcome page you see after installing is part of the extension itself. It is not a website, it carries no analytics and no counters of any kind, and nothing about your files reaches it.
  • An optional feedback form on removal. When you remove the extension, Chrome may open a short form in a new tab, if one has been set up for this version. Answering is entirely optional. The address carries no parameters and nothing from your work — no file names, no page counts, no settings. The form is a Google Form, hosted by Google LLC under Google's own privacy policy; we receive only what you choose to type into it.
  • The rating line inside the extension. After a finished job the extension may show a short row of five stars. Nothing opens until you click one, and a click never attaches anything from your work to the address. One, two or three stars open a private Google Form in a new tab, so you can tell us what went wrong — the same kind of form as above, hosted by Google LLC under Google's own privacy policy, and we receive only what you choose to type into it. Four or five stars open this extension's own reviews page in the Chrome Web Store, so you can leave a public review there; that page exists only once the extension is listed, and until then a click there opens nothing and the line tells you so.

Those are the only pages the extension opens, and the only route by which anything can reach anyone other than you.

Legal bases

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we handle data on the basis of your consent and to perform the feature you asked for — the details you type is read only in order to produce the receipt you asked for, because that is the job you started. You can withdraw consent at any time by stopping the job or removing the extension.

Retention and deletion

  • The receipt you are filling in (customer, items, tax, payment, notes): it lives only in the open workspace tab until you start a new receipt, reload or close the tab. Nothing of it is written to storage.
  • The business profile and the receipt counter (inside receiptMaker.v1): until you change them or remove the extension. This is deliberate — it is what lets the next receipt take a minute.
  • The rating record (receiptMakerRatePrompt): until you remove the extension. Answering the rating line or waving it away does not erase the record — that is what keeps the line from coming back.
  • PDFs and PNGs you saved: yours, on your own disk, for as long as you keep them.
  • On our side: nothing. We never receive any of it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal data:

  • GDPR / UK GDPR: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, withdrawing consent, and lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority (such as the ICO).
  • CCPA / CPRA (California): to know, access, delete and correct your data, and not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell or share your personal information.

Because everything stays on your own computer, you can exercise most of these yourself: your files are in front of you, your settings are the controls you last used, and removing the extension erases everything it stored. If you would still like to make a request or ask a question, write to us at the address below and we will answer.

Security

Your files are handled inside your browser by the extension's own code, in the same browser process as the page you are looking at. They are not sent to us, and there are no third-party processors: no cloud service, no analytics provider and no error-reporting service receives any part of them. Everything the extension needs to lay out the receipt and write the PDF is packaged inside the extension itself, so no code is fetched from the internet while it runs. Your files are protected by your own device and browser profile, the same way the rest of your documents are.

Children

Receipt Maker is intended for users 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

What we do not do

  • No accounts, no sign-up, no subscription.
  • No advertising and no ad networks.
  • No analytics, no tracking, no profiles.
  • No history of the files you have processed.
  • We do not sell or share your data. We never receive it in the first place.
  • All features in this version are free; this extension does not offer purchases.

Limited Use

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Changes to this policy

This policy takes effect on 3 September 2026. What changed: this is the first published version of this policy, written for the first release of the extension. If it changes, we will update the date at the bottom of this page, and the current version always lives here.
