FormHopFormHop privacy policy
The short version: FormHop saves what you type into web forms only in your own browser. We have no servers that receive it. We never see it, upload it, share it or sell it.
Who we are
FormHop is made by Kage Lab, a business name of Cory Christian (ABN 80 695 802 826), Sydney, Australia. Contact: [email protected].
What FormHop stores, and where
| Data | Why | Where it's kept |
|---|---|---|
| Text and choices you type or select in web forms (which can include names, email addresses, addresses and other personal details you enter) | So you can restore them after a crash, timeout or reload | Only in your browser's local extension storage on your computer |
| The address (URL) and title of the page each form was on | To offer the right answers on the right page | Only in your browser |
| A copy of the questions and answers when you submit a form | Your "copy of submitted form" record | Only in your browser |
| Word drafts you create (Pro) | Exporting questions to a .docx file | Saved as a file to your computer by you; the questions list is kept in your browser |
| Your settings | Remembering your choices | Only in your browser |
What FormHop never stores
Passwords, PINs, one-time codes, and card, bank account, tax file, passport, licence, Medicare and similar ID numbers are skipped automatically, as are banking and sign-in websites by default. You can add any other site to a "never save" list in Settings, or pause FormHop on a site from its button.
What leaves your computer
Only licence information, through our payment provider ExtensionPay (extensionpay.com), which uses Stripe to process payments:
- When FormHop is installed, it gets an anonymous licence key from ExtensionPay. This contains no personal information and none of your form data.
- FormHop checks that key with ExtensionPay from time to time to see whether you've bought Pro.
- If you buy Pro, you give your email address and payment details to ExtensionPay and Stripe on their own pages. We receive your email address and purchase record (to provide support and handle tax), never your full card details. See the ExtensionPay and Stripe privacy policies.
None of your saved form answers are ever part of these requests. FormHop has no analytics, no tracking and no advertising.
Permissions FormHop uses
- Access to websites (optional, asked during setup): lets FormHop save your answers on every site. If you choose "Only when I ask", FormHop works only on a page after you click its button.
- Storage: keeps your saved answers and settings in your browser.
- Context menu: adds "Restore this field" to the right-click menu.
- Scripting and active tab: start FormHop on the page you choose.
How long data is kept, and deleting it
On the free plan, saved forms are deleted automatically after 7 days. With Pro, you choose how long to keep them. You can delete one saved form or everything at any time from FormHop's "All saved forms" page. Removing the extension deletes everything it stored.
Chrome Web Store Limited Use statement
FormHop's use of information received from Google APIs and the browser will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The data FormHop handles is used only to provide its single purpose (saving and restoring what you type into web forms, and drafting form answers), is not transferred to anyone, is not used for advertising, and is not read by people.
Your rights
We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Act 1988. Because your form data never reaches us, we cannot see, access or correct it – it is entirely under your control in your browser. For anything we do hold (such as a purchase email address), contact [email protected] to access, correct or delete it. If you're unhappy with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).
Children
FormHop is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If we ever change how FormHop handles data, we'll update this page and the extension's store listing before the change takes effect, and ask for your agreement in the extension where required.
