EchoFill Privacy Policy
EchoFill is a browser extension that saves what you type into web forms and fills it back in for you later. This policy explains what EchoFill does with your information. The short version: your form answers stay on your device, and we never see them.
What EchoFill stores, and where
- Your saved answers ("profiles"). This is the text you typed and the choices you made on forms you asked EchoFill to record. On sites you approved for automatic filling, it also includes new answers you type on those sites' later pages (for multi-page forms). You can turn this off per profile in EchoFill's settings. It includes a few details that help EchoFill find the same fields again, such as field names and labels, and the website address you recorded on.
- Your settings, snippets and restore points.
- Fill history (EchoFill 1.2 and later). When EchoFill fills a page, it notes the date and time, the website address (without the part after "?"), the page title, the profile used and how many fields it filled. You can add a status and notes (Pro). You can turn the history off, remove entries or clear it in EchoFill's settings.
- Files you choose to keep (Pro, EchoFill 1.2 and later). If you add a file such as a resume, or ask EchoFill to keep a file you chose on a form, a copy is stored in your browser's own database for EchoFill on your device, so EchoFill can attach it to upload fields later. Remove files at any time under Settings → Files.
- Answers you copy between sites (EchoFill 1.2 and later). "Copy this page's answers" keeps the answers on that page for 24 hours so you can paste them into another site's form.
- A count of fields filled (EchoFill 1.2 and later), used to show an estimate of the time EchoFill saved you.
All of this is stored only in your browser on your device. It is not uploaded or sent to us or anyone else. If you uninstall EchoFill, the browser deletes this data. You can export your profiles to a file, import them, or delete them at any time from EchoFill's settings.
Optional sync (Pro, off by default, EchoFill 1.2 and later). If you turn on "Sync my profiles to my other computers", your profiles (saved answers and their settings) are stored in Chrome's sync storage, so Chrome copies them to the other computers signed in to the same Chrome profile, the same way it syncs your bookmarks. That copy is held by Google under your Google account and Chrome's sync settings, not by us; EchoFill has no server and never sees it. Files, history and snippets are never synced. Turning sync off and choosing "Remove the synced copy" deletes the copy from Chrome sync.
EchoFill never records passwords, payment card numbers, card security codes or expiry dates, or U.S. Social Security numbers, even if you typed them into a form you recorded.
When EchoFill reads a web page
EchoFill reads the form on a page only in two cases:
- When you click EchoFill on that page. This uses Chrome's "active tab" permission, which lasts only for that page.
- **When you open a website you previously recorded and approved for automatic filling.** Chrome asks your permission for each such site individually. On those sites EchoFill fills the form and, unless you turn it off, notes new answers you type so the next visit fills them too. You can review and remove these sites at any time in EchoFill's settings, or in Chrome's extension settings.
EchoFill does not read your browsing history, does not track which sites you visit, and does not run on any other site.
Payments (EchoFill Pro)
If you buy EchoFill Pro, the payment is processed by ExtensionPay and Stripe. They receive your email address and payment details in order to process the payment and confirm your license. EchoFill checks your license status with ExtensionPay. That check sends only an identifier for your installation, never your form answers. See ExtensionPay's and Stripe's privacy policies for how they handle payment data.
We do not receive your full card number.
What we don't do
- No analytics, tracking, advertising, or selling of data inside the extension.
- No remote code: all of EchoFill's code ships inside the extension.
- We do not use your data for any purpose other than filling forms for you.
Our website
If you uninstall EchoFill, your browser may open a short feedback page on echofill.app. It is an ordinary web page; the extension sends nothing to it, and your saved answers are deleted by Chrome when the extension is removed. Our website uses privacy-friendly, cookie-free page-view counts (Vercel Web Analytics) so we know which pages help people; these are not linked to the extension or to your form data.
Telling us a site didn't fill (optional). Our uninstall page and our "Tell us which site didn't fill" page have a box where you can type a website address and, if you like, a short note about what went wrong. Nothing is sent until you press Send. When you do, we receive only what you typed, and it is stored in a Google Form owned by Thump LLC (Google acts as our service provider). We use it only to test and fix EchoFill on that site, and we delete it once we no longer need it for that. When EchoFill's "Tell us about this site" link opens that page, it puts the site's address after the "#" in the link; browsers never send that part to a server, and the page only uses it to fill in the box for you. Please don't type your form answers or other personal details into the note.
Email newsletter (optional). If you subscribe on our website, we collect your email address and use it only to send EchoFill guides and product news. Subscriptions use double opt-in: nothing is sent until you confirm by email. The list is held by our email provider, Buttondown, on our behalf. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time. We never sell or share the list, and it is never connected to the extension or your form data.
Children
EchoFill is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the effective date above and describe the change in the extension's release notes.
- November 2, 2026: added the optional "which site didn't fill" box on our website (see "Our website"). Nothing changed in what the extension stores or sends.
- October 26, 2026: updated ahead of EchoFill 1.2. Version 1.2 adds a local fill history, files you choose to keep for upload fields (Pro), copying answers between sites, a local count of fields filled, and optional profile sync through Chrome sync (Pro, off by default). Earlier versions do not have these features, and nothing changes for them until they update. See "What EchoFill stores, and where".
- October 8, 2026: added the optional email newsletter on our website (see "Our website"). Nothing changed in the extension.
