Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This privacy policy describes how the Outdoor New Tab extension collects, uses, and protects information when installed in your Chrome browser.

1. Information We Collect

This extension does not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or browsing history.

• Local settings and preferences saved via chrome.storage.sync, such as an optional Unsplash API key, selected category, and interface preferences.
• Search input text only to perform a search for remote contour data when you use the extension interface.

2. How We Use Your Data

Any stored settings are used only to personalize the extension experience and to retrieve background images or contour drawing data.

• Unsplash API key: used only to request landscape photos from the Unsplash service.
• Category preference: used to choose relevant outdoor imagery.
• Search query: used to fetch inspiration and contour data from third-party APIs.

3. Remote Services and APIs

This extension may connect to external services in order to display background imagery and fetch contour outlines. These services may include:

• Unsplash API for background photos.
• Search and contour data APIs used by the extension to load inspiration and drawing data.

Requests to remote services are made from the extension and may include only the data required for those requests. The extension does not forward personal identifiers or browsing data to these services.

4. No Data Selling or Sharing

We do not sell, lease, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Storage of Data

Stored settings are kept by Chrome and may be synced across your signed-in Chrome browsers if Chrome Sync is enabled. The extension does not maintain its own user database.

6. Security

We follow standard security practices to protect stored settings and extension data. However, because this is a browser extension, it is important that you keep your browser and extension up to date.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When changes are made, the updated policy will be available in this document.

8. Contact

If you have questions about this privacy policy, please contact the extension developer through the extension store listing or your preferred support channel.
