Powerverse Extension Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-02-15

Summary

The Powerverse extension is local-first. It stores your snippets in your browser and does not sync them to a Powerverse backend service.

Data the extension handles

• Snippets you create (title, content, optional tags, optional notes)
• Metadata needed to manage snippets (IDs, created timestamps, optional folder/pin state)
• Selected text from web pages only when you invoke the "Add snippet to Powerverse" context-menu action
• Payment status metadata when payment features are configured

Permissions used

• storage: store snippets and local extension state.
• contextMenus: show the right-click quick-add action.
• scripting + activeTab: support user-triggered selection extraction in active tabs, including embedded editor/frame contexts.
• host_permissions for *://*.powerapps.com/*: enable additional extraction support for Power Apps frame scenarios.

Where data is stored

• Snippets and related metadata are stored locally using Chrome’s chrome.storage.local.
• Temporary quick-add selection data may be held in extension runtime memory until consumed by the popup.

What data is collected or transmitted

• The extension does not upload snippet library data to a Powerverse backend.
• If payments are configured, the extension communicates with ExtPay to check payment status and open checkout.
• The extension itself does not include advertising SDKs.
• No analytics/tracking is performed by the extension code.
• Selected text captured for quick add is processed locally and not transmitted to a Powerverse server.

Clipboard

When you click a snippet to copy it, the extension writes the snippet content to your clipboard so you can paste it immediately.

Import / Export

• If you choose to export, the extension downloads a JSON file to your computer.
• If you choose to import, the extension reads a JSON file you select and merges snippets into local storage.

Context menu quick add

• If you select text and choose Add snippet to Powerverse, the extension reads selected text so it can prefill the snippet form.
• Selection extraction is attempted only at the time of user invocation.
• Some extraction enhancements are available on supported Power Apps pages to improve reliability in embedded editors.
• To improve reliability in embedded editors, the extension may use multiple local extraction methods (selection APIs and copy-event extraction) and uses the best local result.
• This selected text is used locally by the extension and is not sent to a Powerverse server.

Data retention and deletion

• Your snippets remain on your device until you delete them, clear browser storage, or uninstall the extension.

Third parties

• Payment functionality is provided by ExtPay when configured.
• Please review ExtPay's policies for how payment-related data is handled by their service.
