Privacy Policy

Last updated 11 November 2026

This policy explains what the Click Currency browser extension, the Click Currency server at app.clickcurrency.co and this website (www.clickcurrency.co) collect, where that information goes, and what you can do about it. It covers version 1.4 of the extension and later.

The short version

The extension reads only the text you highlight, inside your browser, to find an amount to convert. That text, the page you are on and your browsing history are never sent to us or anyone else.
On the free plan the extension downloads exchange rates from our server. It sends no account details, licence key or device ID with those requests.
If you activate Premium, our server stores your licence key, the email address on your Gumroad purchase, a random device ID and your chosen currency pairs.
There are no ads and no analytics in the extension or on this website, and we never sell your information.

Who we are

Click Currency is built and run by Jason Bagley. For any privacy question or request, email support@clickcurrency.co.

What the extension does on the pages you visit

To show a conversion in your right-click menu, the extension needs to know when you highlight an amount. For that reason it runs a small script on the web pages you open (pages starting with http:// or https://). The Chrome Web Store describes this kind of access as reading "website content".

Here is what that script actually does.

When you select text, it reads the selected text only and looks for a number in it. From version 1.5 it also looks for a currency symbol or code next to the number, such as € or GBP.
It passes that amount (and, from version 1.5, the selected text) to the extension's own background process, which runs inside your browser and builds the right-click menu.
It does not read the rest of the page, does not record which sites you visit, and does not send the selected text or any page content off your device.

What is stored in your browser

The extension keeps the following in your browser's local extension storage. It stays on your device and is removed when you uninstall the extension.

Item	Why
Your currency pairs	So the right-click menu shows the conversions you chose
The latest exchange rates and when they were downloaded	So conversions work instantly and rates are refreshed on time
A device ID (a random string created on install)	Sent only if you activate Premium, so one licence can be used on a few browsers
Premium session (your purchase email and a session token)	Only if you activate Premium, to keep you signed in and show which licence is active
Install date, a count of conversions you used, and whether you have seen or dismissed the rating prompt (version 1.5 and later)	To decide when, if ever, to ask whether you would like to rate the extension
A timestamp of when the background process last ran	Housekeeping that keeps the extension responsive

From version 1.5, if you have no pairs yet, the extension suggests a first pair based on your browser's language setting. This happens on your device and nothing is sent.

What is sent to our server

The extension talks to one server, app.clickcurrency.co, over HTTPS. It does so in these situations.

Downloading exchange rates

While your browser is open, the extension asks the server for the latest rates every few minutes. On the free plan these requests carry no licence key, email or device ID. If you have activated Premium, they include your session token so the server can confirm Premium is still active; the server replies with a new token each time.

Activating Premium

When you enter a licence key, the extension sends the licence key, your device ID and your current currency pairs. The server checks the key with Gumroad, which confirms the purchase and returns the email address used to buy it. The server then stores, for each browser you activate:

your licence key
the email address on the purchase
the device ID
your currency pairs
a session token, and the dates the session was created and last used

A licence can be active on a few browsers at once (currently three). Activating another browser beyond that removes the oldest session.

Saving your currency pairs on Premium

When a Premium user saves their pairs, the list of pairs is sent to the server and stored with that browser's session, so it can be restored later.

Currency flags

The flag icons on the extension's settings page load from our server, which fetches them from jsDelivr (Wise's open-source currency flag set). Your browser does not contact jsDelivr directly.

Like any web server, our hosting provider sees the IP address and browser details of each request. We do not use them to identify you or build a profile.

Services we rely on

Frankfurter (api.frankfurter.dev) provides the exchange rates. Our server fetches them about once a day. Your browser never contacts Frankfurter, and nothing about you is sent to it.
Gumroad handles Premium purchases at jasonbagley.gumroad.com. When you buy, Gumroad processes your payment under its own privacy policy and shares your email address and purchase details with us as the seller. Our server sends your licence key to Gumroad to check it is valid.
Railway hosts our server and this website. It may keep standard request logs (such as IP address, time and the address requested) for security and troubleshooting.
Adobe Fonts serves the headline font on this website. Your browser requests the font from Adobe, which counts page views for font licensing under Adobe's privacy policy.
Google runs the Chrome Web Store, where you install the extension. Google's own privacy policy applies there.

What we never do

We do not sell, rent or trade your information.
We do not use your information for advertising or to build a profile of you.
We do not collect your browsing history or the content of the pages you visit.
We do not run analytics or advertising scripts in the extension or on this website. The only outside service the website loads is Adobe Fonts, described above.

Click Currency's use of information received through the Chrome extension follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

This website

This website is a set of static pages. It sets no cookies, has no analytics and has no forms. If you email us, for example through the feedback page, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write, and we use it only to reply.

How long we keep your information

Data in your browser stays until you uninstall the extension or clear its storage.
Premium session records on our server are kept while your licence is in use, or until you ask us to delete them. A session is removed straight away if a newer browser replaces it.
Emails are kept for as long as needed to help you, and deleted on request.

Your choices and rights

You can use Click Currency without Premium, in which case nothing that identifies you is stored on our server.
Uninstalling the extension removes everything it stored in your browser.
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you, including your Premium session records, by emailing support@clickcurrency.co. We aim to reply within 30 days.
If you live in the UK, the EU or another region with data protection law, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Security

All communication between the extension and our server uses HTTPS. Premium session tokens are long random values that change on every rates request. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep what we store to a minimum.

Children

Click Currency is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If the extension starts collecting or sending anything new, we will update this page before that version is released and change the date at the top. The current version is always at www.clickcurrency.co/privacy-policy/.
