Privacy policy
Short version: Movar runs entirely on your device. Nothing about your browsing, your queries, or your preferences ever leaves the browser you installed it in. The rest of this page just spells that out in detail.
What Movar stores
Movar uses the browser's built-in storage.local API
to remember:
- your preferred language (e.g. Ukrainian, English),
- any sites you've exempted from corrections,
- whether Movar is currently paused,
- a lifetime counter of how many corrections Movar has applied.
This data lives in your browser, in the same place where your bookmarks and history are stored. It is never synced to any server, including ours — because there is no server.
What Movar does not store
- your search queries,
- your browsing history,
- page contents,
- any identifier that could distinguish you from another user,
- any kind of analytics, telemetry, or usage metric.
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
- Reset the daily "corrections today" counter shown in the popup.
- 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.
Contact
Movar is open source under the MIT license. Questions, concerns, and bug reports are welcome on the project repository (link in the footer once the repo goes public).
