Privacy Policy for Browser Works Extensions

Introduction

This Privacy Policy outlines how Browser Works Chrome / Edge Extensions ("we", "our", or "us") handle your information. This policy applies to all our extensions, including Keep Awake, History Shortcut, and History Extended.

Data Collection and Use

Our extensions process data only on your local device. No data is transmitted to external servers, third parties, or us. The specific data each extension accesses depends on its functionality:

• Keep Awake and History Shortcut do not access any user data beyond storing your preferences locally.
• History Extended reads your browsing history via the Chrome History API to display it in an enhanced history page. It also reads page metadata (description, thumbnail image, canonical URL) from visited web pages via a content script to enrich history entries. All this data is stored locally in your browser using the built-in storage API and is never transmitted to any external server.

Data Stored Locally

The following data may be stored locally on your device, depending on the extension:

• User preferences and settings (all extensions)
• Cached browsing history entries for fast search and display (History Extended)
• Page metadata: descriptions, Open Graph images, and canonical URLs extracted from visited pages (History Extended)

This data is stored using the browser's built-in storage API (chrome.storage.local). It remains entirely on your device, is not accessible to us or any third party, and is never transmitted over the network.

Data Not Collected

Our extensions do not collect, transmit, or share any of the following:

• Personally identifiable information
• Health, financial, or authentication information
• Personal communications
• Location data
• User activity (clicks, keystrokes, mouse position, scroll behavior)
• Usage analytics or telemetry

Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, transfer, or share any user data with third parties for any purpose. We do not use user data for advertising, analytics, or creditworthiness assessment.

Data Storage and Security

All data is stored locally in your browser and is not accessible to us or any third party. Data remains on your device and is subject to your browser's built-in security mechanisms.

User Consent

By using our extensions, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. We encourage users to regularly review this policy for any changes.
