In short: Emoji Picker collects nothing. Everything it remembers stays in your browser.
What is stored, and where
Emoji Picker keeps the following in your browser's local extension storage (storage.local) on your device:
- your settings, such as default action, theme and skin tone;
- your Most Widely Used Emojis list and how many to show;
- your favorites and recently used emojis;
- the skin tone you chose for particular emojis;
- usage counts, only if you turn on "Rank by my usage" (off by default);
- which emoji versions your system can draw, so emojis that would show as empty boxes are hidden.
This data is never synced to other devices, uploaded, sold or shared. The extension makes no network requests and contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code.
The About section of the settings page links to the author's LinkedIn profile and Buy Me a Coffee page. They open in a new tab only when you click them; the extension itself never contacts those sites.
Access to web pages
Emoji Picker can only see the page you are on after you open its popup, and only for that tab. This is the browser's temporary "active tab" permission, which ends when the tab navigates or closes. When the popup opens, a small script notes which text field had focus and where the caret was. When you choose Insert, it adds the emoji to that field. It never reads the text in fields, page content, addresses or titles, and it never sends anything anywhere.
Clipboard
Emoji Picker writes to the clipboard only when you click an emoji or press Enter on one. It never reads the clipboard.
Your control
- Turn "Recently Used" or "Rank by my usage" off at any time; recording stops immediately.
- Settings → Clear usage data, Clear recent emojis or Clear all my data delete the stored data.
- Uninstalling the extension deletes all of its data.
Changes
Any change to this policy will ship with an extension update and appear on this page.
