Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

At PassSafer, privacy is not just a feature – it is our core foundation. This Privacy Policy describes how the PassSafer browser extension and desktop application handle your data.

1. Zero Data Collection

PassSafer is designed to operate completely offline. We do not collect, store, transmit, upload, or share any personal information, usernames, passwords, files, or browsing histories. Your credentials and sensitive data are saved locally, encrypted strictly on your own device.

2. Local Communication (Native Messaging)

The PassSafer browser extension communicates exclusively with the PassSafer desktop application on the same machine via secure local Inter-Process Communication (Native Messaging). All data exchange remains strictly inside your local operating system. No database syncs or background operations ever connect to external cloud servers.

3. Permissions Disclosures

To perform its offline credentials manager functions, the browser extension utilizes the following permissions:

• Storage: Used to temporarily cache the encrypted credentials vault and store extension settings locally in your browser. No data is stored permanently or sent online.
• Native Messaging: Used to connect securely with the PassSafer desktop application running on your computer to retrieve and autofill your passwords.
• Alarms: Used to run local inactivity timers that automatically lock your credential vault when you are idle.

Additionally, the extension utilizes content scripts that execute on all websites (<all_urls>). This is necessary to automatically detect username and password input fields and dynamically inject the autofill icon and dropdown, allowing you to securely log in to any website.

4. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect modifications in our security safeguards or extension updates. Any changes will be published here with an updated revision date.

5. Support & Questions

6. Website, Purchases and Swiss Data Protection

This section applies to the website passsafer.com and to purchasing or activating a license. Controller within the meaning of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) is Zynio Tech, Switzerland (see Legal Notice). The desktop application and the browser extension themselves do not transmit your vault data.

• Email address: processed to deliver trial and license keys and to answer support requests.
• Payments: handled by PayPal. We receive only the confirmation of the payment, not your card or account details.
• Hosting and licensing: the website and the license service run on infrastructure of Google (Firebase) and Cloudflare. Technical connection data such as the IP address may be logged by these providers.
• Fonts: the website loads the font Inter from Google Fonts, which transmits your IP address to Google.

Data may be processed in countries outside Switzerland, including the United States, where providers are bound by appropriate safeguards. You have the right to information, correction and deletion of your data. Please contact zyniotech@gmail.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
