## Introduction

Browser Sticky Notes (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension collects, uses, and protects information when you use our sticky notes extension.

By using Browser Sticky Notes, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

## Information We Collect

1. Local Data Storage

- The notes you create and store through the extension are saved locally in your browser’s storage. These notes include text, color, tags, and their position on web pages.

- These notes belong solely to you and are not transmitted or accessible by us or any external servers.

2. Chrome Sync Storage

- If you use Chrome’s sync feature and are signed into your Google account, your notes may be synced securely across your signed-in Chrome browsers.

- This syncing process is managed entirely by Google’s Chrome sync infrastructure, and we do not have access to your synced data.

3. No Personal Identification Data Collected

- We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, browsing history, or any other identifying data.

## How We Use Your Data

- Your data is stored only to provide the core functionality of sticky notes tied to specific websites and to maintain your notes persistently.

- We do not use your data for any analytics, advertising, profiling, or sharing with third parties.

## Third-Party Services

- We do not integrate any third-party analytics or advertising services that collect your data.

- The donation link (https://buymeacoffee.com/browser_notes) is external, and its privacy policies are governed by the respective platform. We encourage you to review their policies if you choose to donate.

## Security

- Since your data is stored locally or synced via Chrome’s secure service, your notes are protected by Chrome’s browser security features.

- We recommend keeping your browser and operating system updated for best security practices.

Our extension requests the following permissions:

- Storage: To save your sticky notes persistently.

- ActiveTab & Scripting: To inject and manage notes on the active web pages.
