Privacy policy

What Movar stores

Movar uses your browser's extension-storage APIs to remember:

• your preferred language (e.g. Ukrainian, English),
• any sites you've exempted from corrections,
• whether Movar is currently paused,
• a rolling log of the last 1,000 corrections — each entry holds a timestamp, the site's domain, which mechanism applied, and the from/to language. The popup uses this to show "corrections today" and which languages it has hidden on the current tab.

Your preferences live in storage.sync, which means your browser's own sync feature (Chrome Sync, Firefox Sync) can carry them between your own devices. The pause state and the corrections log live in storage.local and stay on this device. None of it is ever sent to a server of ours — because there is no server.

What Movar does not store

• your search queries,
• your browsing history (the corrections log records which domains triggered a correction, never URLs, paths, or what was on the page),
• page contents,
• any identifier that could distinguish you from another user,
• any analytics or telemetry transmitted off-device.

Permissions and why Movar needs them

storage

Save the preferences listed above across browser restarts.

declarativeNetRequest

Add a language parameter to outgoing search-engine requests (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, YouTube) so results render in your chosen language. The rules are static and declarative — the extension never sees request bodies or response contents.

alarms

Wake the background script when a timed pause expires (e.g. "pause for 30 minutes") so Movar can resume on its own.

tabs

Read the active tab's URL when you open the popup or options page, so Movar can show whether the current site is exempt and let you toggle it.

access to all websites

The content script applies the language-correction logic on whichever site you're currently viewing. Movar reads the page enough to detect its language; it never transmits page contents anywhere.

Third parties

Movar does not embed any third-party scripts, analytics, ad networks, or remote configuration. The extension talks only to the websites you choose to visit, and only to rewrite outgoing URLs as described above.

Children

Movar collects no data, so there is nothing to disclose specifically about children's data. The extension is safe to use at any age.

Changes to this policy

If Movar's behaviour ever changes in a way that affects what data the extension touches, this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date at the top will be bumped. The previous text remains in the project's git history.
