Privacy Policy

Summary

The shadcn DESIGN.md Chrome extension does not collect, transmit, store, or share any personal data. There is no account system, no analytics, no telemetry, and no remote logging. Everything happens locally in your browser.

What the extension does

On https://ui.shadcn.com/create*, the extension reads the ?preset= query parameter, decodes it locally with the same algorithm shipped in the shadcn CLI, and renders three export formats inside a dialog: a Markdown spec, a JSON config, and a CSS file.

Data the extension touches

• Preset code from the URL. Read fromlocation.href. Decoded in JavaScript. Never sent off your machine.
• Theme registry. Fetched from the public/_next/static/chunks/ URL on ui.shadcn.com. This is the same file the page itself loads. No identifying parameters are added.
• Clipboard. Used only when you click Copy. The extension writes to your clipboard via navigator.clipboard.writeText. Nothing is read from your clipboard.
• Downloads. Files are produced by Blob + <a download>. Your browser handles the save dialog. The extension does not request thedownloads permission.

Permissions

• content_scripts.matches: ui.shadcn.com/create*
• No activeTab, no downloads, no storage, no host_permissions.

Cookies and local storage

The extension does not set cookies and does not write tolocalStorage, sessionStorage, orchrome.storage.

This website

The landing page at this domain is a static site. It does not set analytics cookies, does not embed third-party trackers, and does not collect personal data. Standard server access logs may be retained by the hosting provider for operational purposes.

Third parties

The extension communicates only with ui.shadcn.com to fetch the public theme registry chunk. The site is hosted on the third party listed in the project's deployment configuration; refer to that provider's privacy policy for hosting-related processing.

Children

The extension and site are not directed at children under 13. No personal data is knowingly collected from anyone, including children.
