Plugly never sends your browsing data or extension list to any server.
Plugly is a Chrome extension that lets you view, search, and switch your other installed extensions on and off, and organize that into profiles, groups, and automation. This policy explains, in plain terms, what information Plugly touches to do that, where it's stored, and what — if anything — ever leaves your device.
The short version: Plugly reads your list of installed extensions to build its panel, and stores your settings, profiles, and usage stats locally in your browser. None of that is transmitted to Plugly's developers or any analytics service.
Plugly works with the following categories of information, all generated by your own use of the extension:
Plugly does not collect your name, email address, or any personal identifiers, and does not use cookies or third-party trackers.
| Permission | What it's used for |
|---|---|
| management | Reads your installed-extensions list and turns them on or off — this is Plugly's core feature. |
| storage | Saves profiles, settings, analytics, notifications, and bundles on your device. |
| commands | Registers keyboard shortcuts (enable/disable all, Speed Mode, apply last profile, Command Palette). |
| tabs | Reads the active tab's URL to match Smart Website Automation rules, and opens Chrome's shortcuts page from Settings. |
| alarms | Runs periodic local checks for Auto Sleep, the Scheduler, and Smart Recommendations. |
| host_permissions: extensionpay.com | Loads the ExtensionPay library used to verify a Plugly Pro subscription. |
No permission Plugly requests is broader than the feature that needs it, and Plugly does not request access to all websites.
Everything Plugly stores — profiles, settings, groups, tags, automation rules, and analytics — is kept in Chrome's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your own device. It is included in Chrome's normal sync/backup behavior if you have Chrome sync enabled, exactly like any other extension's local storage, but Plugly itself does not run its own server and has no independent access to that data. Uninstalling Plugly removes it.
Plugly Pro subscriptions are handled entirely by ExtensionPay, a third-party billing service built for Chrome extensions. When you upgrade, your payment details are entered and processed on ExtensionPay's own site — Plugly never sees or stores your card details. Plugly only receives your subscription's active/inactive status, used to unlock Pro features locally.
Plugly does not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or data brokers. The only outside service Plugly communicates with is ExtensionPay, and only for the purpose described above. There is no analytics SDK, crash reporter, or third-party tracking script anywhere in the extension.
Plugly is a general-audience browser utility and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, regardless of age, beyond the locally-stored usage data described above.
If Plugly's data practices change, this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date above will change accordingly. Significant changes will also be noted in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing.
Questions about this policy or how Plugly handles data can be sent to the developer through the Chrome Web Store listing's support contact, or via the details on plugly.pages.dev.
