PRIVACY POLICY - ARCHIVE.PH SEARCH EXTENSION
Last Updated: January 30, 2026
Archive.ph Search ("the Extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how the Extension handles information.
The Extension does NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal information or data.
Specifically, the Extension does NOT: • Collect browsing history • Track user behavior • Store user data locally or remotely • Use cookies or similar tracking technologies • Transmit data to any servers (except archive.ph when you initiate a search) • Access or store passwords, form data, or personal information • Use analytics or tracking services • Share information with third parties
When you click the Extension icon:
- The Extension accesses ONLY the URL of your current active tab
- This URL is used immediately to open a search on archive.ph
- The URL is NOT stored, logged, or transmitted anywhere except to archive.ph
- The Extension injects a small script on the archive.ph page to automate form filling
- No data persists after the search is complete
The Extension requires the following Chrome permissions:
• "tabs" - Allows the Extension to read the URL of your current tab when you click the icon • "activeTab" - Provides temporary access to the current tab's URL • "scripting" - Allows the Extension to automate form filling on archive.ph • Host permissions for archive.ph and archive.is - Allows the Extension to run automation scripts on these specific domains only
These permissions are used ONLY for the core functionality of the Extension and nothing else.
When you use the Extension, you are directed to archive.ph, a third-party service. Your interaction with archive.ph is subject to their privacy policy and terms of service:
• archive.ph Privacy Policy: https://archive.ph/ • The Extension has no control over or responsibility for archive.ph's data practices • Any data you provide to archive.ph is governed by their policies, not ours
Since the Extension does not collect, store, or transmit user data, there is no user data to secure. The Extension operates entirely locally within your browser.
The Extension does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since the Extension does not collect any data at all, it is safe for users of all ages.
If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
The Extension's source code is transparent and can be reviewed. You can verify our privacy claims by examining the code directly in your Chrome extensions folder or by requesting the source code.
If you have questions about this privacy policy or the Extension's data practices, you can:
• Review the Extension's source code • Contact the developer through the Chrome Web Store listing • Submit an issue or question through the support channels listed in the Extension details
By installing and using the Archive.ph Search Extension, you consent to this privacy policy.
In plain English: This Extension does not collect, store, track, or share any of your data. Period. It simply reads the current page's URL when you click the icon and opens archive.ph with that URL. That's it.
This Extension is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The developer is not responsible for how archive.ph handles data you provide to them.
