We do not collect any personal data.

The Extension:

• Does NOT collect personal information
• Does NOT track your searches or browsing activity
• Does NOT transmit any data to external servers
• Does NOT use analytics or tracking tools

Data Storage

The Extension stores only:

• Your preference for showing or hiding AI Overview (stored locally in Chrome)

This preference never leaves your device and is not a cookie. It is stored using Chrome's local storage API solely for functionality purposes.

Legal Basis

The storage of your toggle preference is based on legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) as it is necessary for the Extension to function according to your settings. No consent is required as no personal data is collected or processed.

Permissions

We request the following Chrome permissions solely for functionality:

• Storage: To save your toggle preference
• WebNavigation: To intercept search requests before page load
• Tabs: To update URLs with the udm=14 parameter
• History: To clean up duplicate entries
• Host permissions (google.com): To modify Google Search URLs only

Third Parties

We do not share data with third parties because we do not collect any data.

Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, and data portability. Since we do not collect any personal data, these rights do not apply in practice. Your local preference can be cleared at any time through Chrome's extension settings or by uninstalling the Extension.
