Summary
This Chrome extension helps you fill IRCTC train booking forms using settings you save in the extension. We do not sell your data. IRCTC login and booking happen on irctc.co.in under IRCTC's own terms.
Data stored on your device
The extension uses Chrome local storage (chrome.storage.local) on your computer for:
- IRCTC username and password (if you enter them in the extension popup)
- Journey details (stations, date, train, class, quota)
- Passenger names and preferences
- Payment method preferences and optional saved card fields (name, number, expiry, CVV)
- Booking automation state and device identifier (UUID)
- Buy Me a Coffee email (if you link subscription access)
This data stays on your device unless you clear extension storage or uninstall the extension.
Data sent to our servers
If you use subscription features, the extension contacts:
https://api.railticket.tool.mridev.in
We may send:
- Anonymous device ID (UUID generated in the extension)
- Email address you enter on the Access tab (to link your Buy Me a Coffee purchase)
- Usage keys when a booking session reaches the IRCTC payment page (for token-based plans)
We do not send your IRCTC password, passenger list, or saved card CVV to this API.
Third-party services
- IRCTC (
www.irctc.co.in) — you log in and book directly on their website. - Payment gateways (e.g. IRCTC iPay, PhonePe) — when you pay, those sites handle payment under their policies.
- Buy Me a Coffee — if you purchase access, payment and membership are handled by Buy Me a Coffee.
Data retention
- Local storage: until you remove it or uninstall the extension.
- Access API: device registration and license records are kept while your subscription is active and as needed for support and fraud prevention. Contact us to request deletion of your email/license record.
Security
- Use a strong IRCTC password and do not share your device.
- Card details saved in the extension are stored locally in your browser profile; we recommend using IRCTC's own saved payment options when possible.
Children
This extension is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date will change. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised policy.
Your choices
- Do not enter credentials or card data in the extension if you prefer manual entry on IRCTC only.
- Uninstall the extension to remove local data.
- Contact us to request deletion of server-side access records tied to your email.
