Last Updated: September 10, 2025
Thank you for using the Khalid Fer Updates browser extension ("the Extension"). This Privacy Policy is intended to help you understand what information the Extension collects, why it collects it, and how it is used.
Our guiding principle is to collect only the minimum information necessary to provide the core functionality of the Extension. We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII).
1. Information We Collect
The Extension does not collect any personal data such as your name, email address, IP address, or browsing history. All data handled by the Extension is non-personal and stored locally on your device or is related to the Extension's direct functionality.
The types of data handled are:
User Settings: The Extension uses the storage permission to save your preferences directly in your browser. This may include settings like how often you wish to check for updates or whether you have notifications enabled. This data is stored locally on your computer and is not transmitted to our servers.
Update Data: The Extension connects to the official Khalid Fer website or API (e.g., https://khalidfer.com) to check for new content. This process involves your browser sending a standard, anonymous request to the server to fetch the latest update information, such as titles of new articles or videos. No personal data is sent with this request.
2. How We Use Information
The information handled by the Extension is used exclusively for the following purposes:
To Provide Core Functionality: The primary purpose is to check for new content from Khalid Fer and alert you via notifications, as per your settings.
To Save Your Preferences: Your settings are saved locally to ensure the Extension functions as you have configured it each time you open your browser.
To Improve the Extension: We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage statistics, such as which features are most popular, to help us improve the Extension. This data is completely anonymous and cannot be tied back to any individual user.
3. Permissions Justification
The Extension requires a limited set of permissions to operate. Here is why each one is necessary:
storage: To save your user-configured settings locally in your browser.
alarms: To schedule periodic checks for new content in an energy-efficient manner, so you receive timely updates.
notifications: To display desktop notifications when new content is found.
Host Permission (e.g., *://*.khalidfer.com/*): This is required to allow the Extension to communicate directly with the Khalid Fer website/API to fetch update data. The Extension does not read any other data from this site or any other site you visit.
4. Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any user information with third parties. As we do not collect any personal information, there is no personal information to share.
5. Security
We are committed to ensuring your information is secure. All data saved by the Extension is stored locally on your device using the standard browser storage APIs. All communication with our servers (to check for updates) is conducted over a secure HTTPS connection.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
