Chrome Extension Policy 100% Client-Side / Zero Tracking

Chrome Extension Privacy Policy: TaxLedger Pro for Amazon

Last Updated: September 2026 | Extension: TaxLedger Pro for Amazon — Automated Invoices, Returns & VAT (Short Name: TaxLedger)

Privacy Guarantee Summary

TaxLedger for Amazon operates 100% locally within your web browser. The extension does not collect, track, transmit, monetize, or store any personal data, Amazon account credentials, order histories, purchase details, or financial documents on external servers. Everything stays on your computer.

A. Single Purpose Description

TaxLedger for Amazon is designed specifically for Amazon consumers, self-employed professionals, accountants, and businesses. Its single, exclusive purpose is to automate the local retrieval, chronological organization, and accounting reconciliation of official Amazon purchase invoices and return credit notes directly from authorized Amazon order pages.

B. Data Handling & Architecture (Zero Remote Transmission)

When TaxLedger scans an Amazon account, it extracts order numbers, purchase dates, seller details, item descriptions, and tax/VAT breakdowns strictly within the context of your active browser session:

  • No External Server Communication: The extension does not transmit order information, financial figures, invoice PDFs, or user identities to Up-Starter or any third party.
  • No Account Credentials Accessed: The extension does not read, capture, or store Amazon passwords, two-factor authentication tokens, or payment card numbers. All operations rely strictly on the active, authenticated session already open in your browser.
  • No Tracking, Analytics, or Telemetry: TaxLedger does not contain Google Analytics, Mixpanel, tracking pixels, or remote telemetry scripts.
  • No Remote Code: In accordance with Google Chrome Web Store Manifest V3 guidelines, the extension runs strictly local, packaged code. No remote scripts or dynamic code evaluation are executed.

C. Local Data Storage

The extension utilizes Chrome's local storage API (chrome.storage.local / chrome.storage.sync) exclusively to store user configuration preferences locally on your device:

  • User interface language selection (e.g., English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Swedish, Portuguese).
  • User-specified default VAT / tax rates.
  • Selected scanning parameters (such as the chosen calendar year or scan filters).
  • Local file naming preferences (e.g. including order numbers or seller names in invoice PDF filenames).

This preference data remains exclusively within your local Chrome profile and can be cleared at any time.

D. Justification for Chrome Permissions Requested

To deliver its single purpose, TaxLedger for Amazon requests the following specific permissions in its manifest.json:

Permission Purpose & Justification
downloads Required exclusively to save downloaded official invoice PDFs, return credit notes, and the generated Excel (.xls) / CSV tax accounting spreadsheets directly to your computer's local Downloads folder into organized chronological subdirectories.
storage Required solely to remember your chosen user interface language, default VAT rates, and scanning preferences across browser restarts.
tabs Required to detect when an Amazon order history or invoice tab is open, and to communicate scan triggers between the extension popup and the Amazon order page tab.
scripting Required to execute the local document scanner on active Amazon order tabs when you explicitly click "Scan" or "Quick Start".
Host Permissions:
*://*.amazon.com/*
*://*.amazon.co.uk/*
*://*.amazon.ca/*
*://*.amazon.de/*
*://*.amazon.fr/*
*://*.amazon.it/*
*://*.amazon.es/*
*://*.amazon.nl/*
*://*.amazon.be/*
*://*.amazon.com.be/*
*://*.amazon.pl/*
*://*.amazon.se/*		 Required solely to enable the extension to read order history pages, find official invoice/credit note download links, and fetch invoice PDFs on authorized Amazon regional storefronts. The extension never requests or accesses any non-Amazon browsing data.
https://*.workers.dev/* Connects securely to our serverless Cloudflare Worker proxy to verify Stripe checkout session identifiers (cs_live_...) for Pro license activations and manage authorized device quotas.
https://api.web3forms.com/* Used exclusively as an encrypted email relay to deliver messages and voluntary technical diagnostics submitted through the in-app Customer Support form directly to support@up-starter.com. Protected by Cloudflare Turnstile anti-bot verification.

E. Third-Party Service Providers

TaxLedger integrates with a minimal set of secure, industry-standard third-party infrastructure providers:

  • Stripe, Inc.: Handles payment processing for Pro licenses on secure Stripe-hosted checkout pages. No payment card or banking data touches the extension. (Stripe Privacy Policy)
  • Cloudflare, Inc.: Powers our serverless license verification proxy and Turnstile anti-bot human verification on the support form. (Cloudflare Privacy Policy)
  • Web3Forms: Encrypted email dispatch service used solely to deliver voluntary customer support requests to support@up-starter.com. (Web3Forms Privacy Policy)

F. Data Retention, User Control & Uninstallation

Because no data is transmitted to our servers, Up-Starter holds no customer order or financial data to retain or delete. You retain 100% control over your files and settings:

  • Deleting Files: Downloaded invoice PDFs and generated spreadsheets are stored in your computer's local download directory and can be moved or deleted by you at any time.
  • Clearing Settings: You can reset extension preferences at any time through the extension options menu or by clearing site data for the extension in chrome://extensions.
  • Uninstallation: Right-click the TaxLedger extension icon in Chrome and select "Remove from Chrome" to completely remove the extension and all local cached preferences instantly.

Chrome Extension Policy 100% Client-Side / Zero Document Uploads

Chrome Extension Privacy Policy: Label Lasso Pro

Last Updated: September 2026 | Extension: Label Lasso Pro — Universal Thermal Label Printer (4x6", 4x4", A6 & More) (Short Name: Label Lasso Pro)

Shipping Document Privacy Guarantee

Label Lasso Pro operates 100% client-side inside your browser. All vector PDF rasterization, barcode detection, edge cropping, and thermal formatting run entirely on your local machine using HTML5 Canvas and bundled WebAssembly. No shipping documents, recipient addresses, parcel tracking numbers, or images are ever uploaded to any external server or cloud AI service.

A. Single Purpose Description

Label Lasso Pro is built for ecommerce sellers, logistics operators, shippers, and small businesses. Its single, exclusive purpose is to detect, crop, rotate, and format shipping labels from multi-page PDFs, return slips, and images (such as Colissimo, DHL, Mondial Relay / InPost, Chronopost / Shop2Shop, Amazon Returns, FedEx, UPS, and USPS) into standard thermal label sizes (4×6 in, 4×4 in, A6, 3×2 in, Dymo, and FNSKU) for direct printing.

B. Data Handling & Local Architecture

Label Lasso Pro is engineered with zero remote document processing:

  • Zero Document Uploads: When you drag, drop, paste (⌘V / Ctrl+V), or select a PDF or label image, all rendering happens strictly in-memory within your Chrome browser via bundled Mozilla PDF.js. No file data is sent over the Internet.
  • No Cloud AI or External APIs: Border detection, barcode scanning, and multi-label splitting rely entirely on local computer vision algorithms (1D convolution edge detection and canvas pixel analysis). We do not send your shipping labels to OpenAI, Google Cloud Vision, or any third-party AI APIs.
  • No Tracking, Analytics, or Telemetry: Label Lasso Pro contains zero tracking pixels, Google Analytics, or third-party telemetry scripts.
  • No Remote Code Execution: In strict compliance with Chrome Web Store Manifest V3 guidelines, the extension runs only static, packaged code with no eval() or remotely fetched scripts.

C. Local Storage & Preferences

The extension uses chrome.storage.local solely on your device to persist user settings:

  • Target printer profile and DPI preference (e.g. 203 DPI for thermal heads, or 300 DPI high-definition).
  • Default label roll size selection (e.g. 100×150 mm, 100×100 mm, A6, 3×2 in).
  • Optional image sharpening and contrast enhancement toggles.
  • Auto-print on paste preference.
  • Pro license activation status and anonymous device ID.

This data remains strictly on your local computer profile and can be cleared at any time.

D. Justification for Chrome Permissions Requested

Label Lasso Pro requests only the minimal set of permissions required to deliver its single purpose:

Permission Purpose & Justification
sidePanel Provides the dedicated side panel interface where you can drag-and-drop label PDFs, paste screenshots, adjust crop lassos in real time, and trigger prints without leaving your active tab.
storage Stores your default printer preferences, label dimensions, and license status locally on your computer.
contextMenus Adds a handy right-click option ("Lasso & Print Label") on images and PDF links across carrier websites so you can format labels in 1 click.
downloads Monitors when a shipping label PDF is downloaded in Chrome to display a 1-click notification banner allowing you to format and print the label instantly.
nativeMessaging Communicates with an optional, open-source local macOS CUPS companion helper to enable 1-click silent printing directly to thermal printers (like Polono PL80E, Rollo, Munbyn) without opening system print dialogs.
activeTab & scripting Temporarily accesses the active tab only when you explicitly click the "Lasso & Print Label" right-click context menu item, allowing the extension to extract the label image without requesting broad, permanent browsing permissions.
https://*.workers.dev/* Communicates securely with our serverless Cloudflare Worker proxy (label-lasso-verifier.robsoprano.workers.dev) solely to verify Stripe checkout session order IDs (cs_live_...) when activating a Pro upgrade.

E. Third-Party Services

  • Stripe, Inc.: Secure payment gateway used for Pro license upgrades. Payment details are entered exclusively on Stripe-hosted checkout pages; the extension never sees or stores card numbers. (Stripe Privacy Policy)
  • Cloudflare, Inc.: Hosts our serverless license verification proxy. (Cloudflare Privacy Policy)

F. User Control & Data Deletion

Because no shipping documents or customer details are ever transmitted to our servers, there is no personal data stored remotely to delete. You can reset your local preferences anytime by right-clicking the extension icon and selecting "Remove from Chrome" or clearing site data in chrome://extensions.

Chrome Extension Policy 100% Client-Side / Zero Tax Data Uploads

Chrome Extension Privacy Policy: AutoVAT (Belastingdienst EU VAT Auto-Filer)

Last Updated: September 2026 | Extension: AutoVAT — Belastingdienst EU VAT Auto-Filer (Directive 2008/9/EC)

Financial & Authentication Privacy Guarantee

AutoVAT operates 100% client-side inside your browser session. You log in to Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk directly using your own DigiD or eHerkenning credentials. AutoVAT never intercepts, requests, transmits, or stores login passwords, tokens, or financial records. All CSV parsing, EU VAT ID formatting, and form automation occur entirely inside your browser's local sandbox memory. Zero financial documents or refund records ever touch our servers.

A. Scope & Core Principles

AutoVAT is built with a strict single purpose: helping European businesses and tax advisors automate repetitive form entry for cross-border EU VAT refund claims (under Directive 2008/9/EC) on the official Dutch tax authority portal (Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk). We believe your financial data belongs strictly to you. We do not track your browsing habits, sell advertising profiles, or monetize your company data in any manner.

B. Information We Do NOT Collect

  • Government & Portal Credentials: AutoVAT never accesses, captures, or saves your DigiD, eHerkenning, SMS verification codes, or Belastingdienst portal authentication credentials.
  • Invoices & Financial Records: No supplier names, VAT identification numbers, invoice totals, deductible percentages, or expense descriptions are ever transmitted to or stored on Up-Starter servers.
  • Bank Account Data: AutoVAT does not view or store your company bank account or payout IBAN.
  • General Browsing Activity: AutoVAT only activates on authorized pages of mijn.belastingdienst.nl where EU VAT refund forms are actively rendered. It does not monitor any other web pages, search engines, or tabs.

C. Information Processed Locally on Your Device

The extension uses chrome.storage.local solely on your device to persist configuration and state:

  • User preferences (e.g. autofill delay timing and validation rules).
  • Pro license activation status, tier, expiration date, and anonymous hardware/browser seat identifier (e.g. VAT-DEV-...).
  • In-memory invoice queue during an active filing session (held in temporary local page memory and discarded when the tab is closed).

This data remains strictly on your local browser profile and can be cleared at any time.

D. Justification for Chrome Permissions Requested

AutoVAT requests only the minimal set of permissions required to deliver its single purpose:

Permission Purpose & Justification
storage Stores your Pro license status, anonymous seat token, and filing preferences locally on your computer.
activeTab Enables the floating assistant overlay and data entry automation to interact with the active Belastingdienst refund form without requesting broad, permanent browsing permissions.
tabs Detects if the official Belastingdienst portal tab is currently open and allows the user to switch or open it directly from the extension popup.
*://*.belastingdienst.nl/* & *://*.overheid.nl/* Allows AutoVAT to detect official EU VAT refund form DOM elements, populate invoice fields, select category codes, and advance to subsequent invoice modals.
https://*.workers.dev/* Communicates securely with our serverless Cloudflare Worker proxy (autovat-license-verifier.robsoprano.workers.dev) solely to verify Stripe checkout session order IDs (cs_live_...) when activating a Pro upgrade.
https://*.up-starter.com/* Enables seamless one-click license activation directly from the post-purchase confirmation page.

E. Third-Party Services

  • Stripe, Inc.: Secure payment gateway used for Pro license upgrades. Payment details are entered exclusively on Stripe-hosted checkout pages; the extension never sees or stores card numbers. (Stripe Privacy Policy)
  • Cloudflare, Inc.: Hosts our serverless license verification proxy. (Cloudflare Privacy Policy)

F. User Control & Data Deletion

Because no invoices, client records, or tax details are ever transmitted to our servers, there is no personal data stored remotely to delete. You can reset your local preferences anytime by right-clicking the extension icon and selecting "Remove from Chrome" or clearing site data in chrome://extensions.
