You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Extension for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You retain ownership of any data you generate through use of the Extension. By using cloud synchronization features, you grant us a limited license to store and process your data solely for the purpose of providing the Service.

The Extension may integrate with third-party services:

  • Supabase: Optional cloud storage and authentication services
  • Google Favicon Service: Display website icons

Your use of third-party services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or services provided by third parties.

  • The Extension will function uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
  • The tracking data will be 100% accurate at all times
