Privacy Policy URL is valid and publicly accessible

Chrome Web Store requires a privacy policy for any extension that handles user data, and GDPR Article 13 mandates disclosure of data collection at the point of data gathering. A broken or missing privacy policy URL causes store rejection. Beyond compliance, a placeholder policy ("To be determined") exposes you to regulatory action in the EU and UK — regulators treat a published placeholder as a misrepresentation, not an absence. Users who can't find your privacy policy are far more likely to uninstall or leave negative reviews flagging trust concerns.

Publish a real privacy policy at a stable URL and reference it in manifest.json. A minimal honest policy is better than a detailed placeholder.

Minimum content required in the policy:

# Privacy Policy
This extension does not collect personal data. User preferences are stored locally in browser storage and are never transmitted to external servers.

If you do collect data, disclose what, why, and the legal basis (GDPR Art. 6). Test the URL returns HTTP 200 before submitting to the store.
