Effective Date: Wednesday, 22 October 2025.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the My Downloads Chrome extension. By installing and using this extension, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
The My Downloads Chrome extension does not collect any personal information from you. We do not track your browsing activity or any other personal data related to your usage of the extension.
Local Storage
The extension may store minimal data locally on your browser to ensure functionality:
- Version Information: To manage first-time installs and updates, we may store the version number of the extension to avoid displaying the welcome page multiple times.
Permissions Used
- Tabs Permission: This allows the extension to open new tabs and interact with the chrome://downloads page.
- Storage Permission: This allows the extension to store and retrieve version information to ensure smooth operation across updates and installations.
2. How We Use the Information
We use the information we collect solely to provide and improve the functionality of the My Downloads extension. Specifically, we use the following:
- Version Tracking: We store the version of the extension to manage first-time installs and updates and ensure the correct behavior (e.g., showing the welcome page only once).
We do not use this information to track your browsing history, share it with third parties, or for any other purpose.
3. Data Security
We take the privacy and security of your data seriously. Since the extension only stores data locally on your browser (such as version information in chrome.storage.local), there is no sensitive data stored on any server, and no data is shared with us or third parties.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share any information that we collect from your use of the extension with third parties. All data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to external servers.
5. Third-Party Links
The extension may provide links to external websites, such as the welcome page or the official My Downloads homepage. We do not control these third-party sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their privacy policies before engaging with these external sites.
6. Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on this page, and the effective date will be updated accordingly.
