Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Our extension collects minimal data necessary to provide its functionality:

• Location Data: With your permission, we collect your approximate location (city level) only for the purpose of providing local weather information. This data is not stored on our servers.
• Notes and Preferences: Any notes you create and preferences you set are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us.
• Birthday Information: If you choose to enter your birthday for the countdown feature, this information is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

The limited information collected is used solely to provide and improve the functionality of the Leo New Tab Extension:

• Location data is used only to fetch relevant weather information from third-party weather APIs
• Notes and preferences are used to personalize your experience and restore your settings when you open a new tab
• Birthday information is used solely for calculating and displaying countdown information

We do not use your data for advertising purposes, and we do not sell your information to third parties.

3. Data Storage and Security

All user data (notes, preferences, birthday information) is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This means:

• Your data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers
• Your data persists until you clear your browser data or uninstall the extension
• The security of your data is dependent on the security of your browser and device

We use industry-standard security measures to protect any minimal data that may be transmitted (such as anonymous usage statistics if you’ve opted in).

4. Third-Party Services

Our extension uses the following third-party services:

• Weather API: We use Open-Meteo API or similar weather services to provide weather information. When you enable weather functionality, your approximate location is shared with these services according to their privacy policies.
• Search: When you use the search feature, your search queries are sent directly to your default search engine (typically Google). We do not intercept, store, or process your search queries.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services for more information on how they handle your data.

5. Children’s Privacy

Our extension is not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, such as:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate data
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to restrict or object to processing
• The right to data portability

Since most data is stored locally on your device, you can exercise many of these rights directly by clearing your browser data or uninstalling the extension.
