Search Mate complies with the Chrome Web Store's Developer Program Policies, including:
Search Mate requires specific permissions to provide its functionality. Here's how we use each permission:
The activeTab permission is required to allow the extension to access the currently active tab when the user interacts with the extension. This enables the extension to detect the search queries performed on various websites and save them for future use. No background data collection occurs, and access is granted only when the user explicitly interacts with the extension.
The storage permission is needed to locally save users' search queries within the extension. This ensures that saved searches remain available even after closing and reopening the browser. All data is stored locally on the user's device, ensuring privacy and security.
The scripting permission is required to inject scripts into web pages when a user saves or recalls a search query. This allows the extension to extract search parameters from a webpage and reinsert them when executing a saved search.
The tabs permission is used to open saved searches in a new tab when requested by the user. It allows the extension to manage browser tabs efficiently and improve user workflow by opening predefined searches instantly.
The webNavigation permission is used to detect when a user performs a search on a supported website. This helps in capturing and structuring search parameters efficiently, ensuring seamless retrieval of saved queries. No browsing history is tracked or stored.
The webRequest permission is required to analyze search query structures on certain websites. This enables the extension to recognize search parameters and provide users with an efficient way to store and recall them. No personal data or browsing history is collected.
The extension requests host permissions to interact with search input fields on websites where users want to save searches. It enables the extension to detect, store, and replay searches efficiently. The extension does not track or collect browsing data beyond user-initiated search queries.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
