The #1 reason Chrome extensions get rejected (and the 5-minute fix)
If you've ever submitted a Chrome extension and gotten hit with a rejection for "inadequate privacy policy," you're not alone. It's the most common reason extensions fail review.
Here's what Google actually requires:
Your policy must be publicly accessible at a URL (not a PDF, not a Google Doc)
It must explicitly list every data type your extension collects — browsing history, authentication info, PII, etc.
You need to state whether you sell or transfer data to third parties (hint: for most indie extensions, the answer is no — but you still have to say it)
It must reference Google's Limited Use policy compliance
Most devs either skip this entirely or copy-paste a generic template that doesn't match their actual data collection. Both get you rejected.
We built ChromeWebPolicy.ai to fix this in under 5 minutes. Tell us what your extension does, what data it touches, and we generate a policy that matches Chrome Web Store requirements exactly — hosted and ready to paste into your manifest.
Free to start. No lawyer needed.
