Privacy Policy link prominent on store listing and within extension options

Chrome Web Store policy mandates a privacy policy link for any extension that collects user data — failure to provide one is a direct cause of rejection or takedown. Beyond the store requirement, GDPR Art. 13 requires controllers to provide privacy information at the point of data collection, and CCPA §1798.100 requires consumers to be informed of data practices before collection. An extension that buries its privacy policy or omits it entirely prevents users from exercising their GDPR rights to access, correction, and erasure. Prominent, accessible disclosure is the first signal that a developer takes user privacy seriously.

Add the privacy policy link to both required locations. In your extension's options.html or popup.html:

<footer>
  <a href="https://example.com/privacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
    Privacy Policy
  </a>
</footer>

In your Chrome Web Store listing description, include a direct markdown link:

Learn about our data practices: https://example.com/privacy

Both links must resolve to the same policy and must be clearly labeled — not embedded in small print or accessible only through a "More" toggle. Cross-reference the data-sharing-disclosed and retention-periods checks to ensure the linked policy is substantively complete.
