At ProxySnap, we prioritize your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the ProxySnap browser extension (the "Extension") handles proxy configurations, connection diagnostics, and the limited anti-abuse data used only when you request the optional free trial.
1. Information Stored Locally
Proxy servers, usernames, passwords, configurations, per-site domains, and rules that you enter are saved locally on your computer inside the Extension sandbox using Chrome's extension storage API. We do not store or transmit credentials for proxy servers that you add yourself.
2. Zero Traffic Logging
ProxySnap does not inspect, collect, or store websites you visit or data you transmit. The extension configures your browser's proxy settings using native Chromium APIs. Requests are routed directly from your browser to your designated proxy hosts, bypassing our infrastructure entirely.
3. Connection Diagnostics
When you explicitly test a proxy, the Extension requests the public IP address from api.ipify.org through that proxy. This is used only to show whether the connection works and measure response time. ProxySnap does not retain the result on an external server.
4. Optional Free Proxy and Trial Protection
If you activate the optional shared free proxy, your browser traffic is routed through that proxy server. Avoid transmitting highly sensitive information through a shared testing proxy. To prevent repeated free trials, our Cloudflare-hosted endpoint receives the IP address and browser user-agent accompanying the activation request, plus a random installation identifier generated by the Extension. We transform network and browser attributes with a secret-salted one-way hash and store only the resulting identifier and trial timestamps in Cloudflare KV for up to 365 days. This information is used solely to enforce one trial and rate-limit abuse, not for advertising or browsing-history analytics.
5. Third-Party Proxy Services
When you add custom proxy servers to the Extension, your internet traffic is routed through those specific third-party providers. The privacy guidelines and data collection policies of those providers govern the transit of your web data. We recommend reviewing the policies of your proxy network providers.
6. Extension Permissions
To enable global routing, per-site rules, authentication, scheduled trial expiry checks, status checks, and context menu integrations, the Extension requests "proxy", "storage", "contextMenus", "webRequest", and "alarms" permissions. These permissions are used only for the features described in this policy.
