- Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the extension, such as features used and settings configured
- Browser Data: Information necessary for the extension to function, such as active tab URLs (only when required for core functionality)
- User Settings: Preferences and configuration data you provide to customize the extension
- Local Storage: Data stored locally in your browser to maintain extension state and preferences
How We Use Information
Information collected by our extensions is used solely for:

2. Permissions
Our extensions may request the following permissions:

Each extension requests only the minimum permissions necessary for its stated functionality. Permission descriptions are provided during installation.
3. Data Storage and Security
- Local Storage: Most data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage APIs and is never transmitted to external servers unless explicitly stated in the extension's description
- No Third-Party Sharing: We do not sell, trade, or transfer your data to third parties
- Data Retention: Data is retained only as long as necessary to provide extension functionality or until you uninstall the extension

4. Third-Party Services
Some extensions may interact with third-party services (e.g., APIs, websites) to provide functionality. When this occurs:

- You are responsible for reviewing those services' privacy policies
