1. **Recently Used Symbols**

   - Which math symbols you click

   - Timestamps of when symbols were clicked

   - Limited to your last 20 used symbols

- **Favorites**: Save and display your favorited symbols in the "Favorites" tab

- **Preferences**: Remember your settings between browser sessions

## Data Storage

**All data is stored locally on your device only.** We use Chrome's `chrome.storage.local` API, which stores data on your computer.

**We do NOT:**

- Send your data to external servers

- Use your data for analytics or tracking

- Collect any personally identifiable information (PII)

## Data Retention
