Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how our browser extension ("we," "our," or "the extension") collects, processes, stores, and shares information.

We are committed to transparency, security, and compliance with applicable privacy regulations, including but not limited to:

• California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

• Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

• CAN-SPAM Act

• Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs)

• General data protection best practices inspired by GDPR and CCPA

By using the extension, you agree to the practices outlined here. If you do not agree, you should uninstall or stop using the extension.

1. Definition of Personal Data and Scope

Under this policy, "Personal Data" or "Personally Identifiable Information" (PII) refers to any information that could be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual.

Our extension is intentionally designed to operate without collecting such data. We do not request names, email addresses, payment details, contact numbers, or any other identifiers.

This policy applies exclusively to the browser extension and any associated features or built-in services. It does not apply to third-party websites or tools you may access via external links provided in the extension.

2. Categories of Data We Process

While we do not collect PII, the extension may gather certain non-identifiable technical data for operational and diagnostic purposes. Examples include:

• Event logs related to feature usage

• Performance and stability metrics

• Error reports and crash data

When you first install and activate the extension, a random, non-personal Unique Identifier (UID) is generated locally. This UID:

• Is not linked to any personal details

• Is not based on device ID, IP address, or browser fingerprint

• Exists solely to differentiate anonymized sessions in technical records

3. Timing of Data Collection

The collection of anonymized technical data begins when you first launch the extension. Additional events may be logged when you:

• Initiate downloads

• Access certain core features

• Change configuration or settings

4. Purposes and Legal Basis for Data Use

The technical data we collect is used only for:

1 Performance optimization – ensuring smooth and reliable functioning

2 Troubleshooting – diagnosing and resolving technical issues

3 Security monitoring – detecting suspicious or abusive patterns

4 Product improvement – identifying features for enhancement

We do not use data for profiling, targeted advertising, or selling to third parties.

5. Use of Cookies and Local Storage

Some features, particularly those related to download management, rely on cookies or browser local storage. These files help:

• Maintain user preferences

• Support multi-step download processes

• Improve workflow efficiency

You may configure your browser to block cookies or alert you when they are set. Be aware that disabling cookies could affect certain extension features.

6. Data Security and Risk Mitigation

We apply industry-standard safeguards to protect the limited technical data we process. Measures include:

• Automated malware and vulnerability scans

• Restricted, need-to-know access to logs

• Secure storage and transmission protocols

Although no method of storage or transmission can be 100% secure, our systems are designed to minimize exposure.

7. Disclosure and Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade data. Anonymized technical information may be processed by authorized service providers (e.g., analytics or diagnostic platforms) that help operate or improve the extension.

Any such partner is contractually bound to maintain confidentiality and to use data solely for the agreed purpose.

We may disclose limited information when:

• Required by applicable law or legal process

• Necessary to enforce our Terms of Service

• Needed to protect our rights, safety, or property, or those of our users

8. Third-Party Content and Links

From time to time, the extension may reference or link to third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services and recommend reviewing their policies before use.

9. Do Not Track (DNT) Preferences

The extension currently does not respond to browser-based "Do Not Track" signals because certain core functionalities depend on cookies or session tracking. This does not override our commitment to only process anonymized data.

10. Use of Analytics and Behavioral Tracking

We may employ third-party analytics services to understand feature usage, performance trends, and stability patterns. These services receive only aggregated, non-identifiable information.

11. Children's Privacy

The extension is not targeted toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from such users.

If we learn that we have inadvertently received information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.

12. Regulatory Compliance

• CalOPPA: Our Privacy Policy is clearly linked within the extension's settings or description. Users can operate the extension anonymously without submitting personal data.

• COPPA: We do not knowingly collect data from users under 13 years of age.

• Fair Information Practices: In case of a data breach, we will notify users through the extension interface within 7 business days.

• CAN-SPAM Act: If we send any communications (such as update notices), users can opt out at any time, and their preferences will be honored immediately.

13. User Rights and Control

Even though we do not store personal data, you still have the right to:

• Request details about the type of non-personal data processed

• Request deletion of your generated UID and related logs

• Uninstall the extension to stop all processing

Requests can be made through our official support channel.

14. Changes to This Policy

Continued use after such changes indicates acceptance of the revised terms.

We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect functional changes, security updates, or new legal requirements. Updates will be announced within the extension's release notes or settings.
