Privacy Policy — DocRefGen

Last updated: May 2026

The short version

DocRefGen doesn’t collect, store, or sell your data. It runs entirely in your browser.

What DocRefGen does

DocRefGen is a Chrome extension that generates reference numbers for Google Docs and optionally logs them to a Google Sheet you own.

What data is accessed

To do its job, the extension accesses:

• Your Google Docs — to find and replace the `` placeholder
• Your Google Sheets — only if you choose to enable the audit trail feature, and only the specific sheet you link in settings

This access happens via the official Google Docs and Google Sheets APIs, using your own Google account credentials.

What data is stored

• Locally in your browser — your settings (company prefix, doc type prefix, sheet ID). Stored using Chrome’s built-in storage.sync API. Nobody else can read this.
• In your Google Sheet — if you enable audit logging, ref numbers and doc metadata (title, link, date) are written to a sheet you control. We don’t have access to that sheet.

What data is NOT collected

• No data is sent to any external server
• No analytics or tracking
• No cookies
• No personal information is collected or stored by the developer

Third-party services

DocRefGen uses Google APIs (Docs and Sheets). Your use of those APIs is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.

Who can see your data

Only you. The extension writes to documents and sheets that belong to your Google account. The developer has no access to your documents, sheets, or any data generated by the extension.

Changes to this policy

If anything changes, this file will be updated with a new date at the top. Since the extension doesn’t collect data, there’s not much that can change.
