GeoSpoof is committed to protecting your privacy. This extension is designed to enhance your location privacy and does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to the extension developer.

GeoSpoof does not collect any personal data. The extension:

• Does NOT track your browsing activity

Local Data Storage

All extension settings are stored locally on your device using Firefox's local storage API:

• Your spoofed location coordinates
• Your timezone preferences

• Onboarding completion status

This data never leaves your device and is only accessible by the extension.

Third-Party API Usage

When you use certain features, the extension communicates with external services:

1. Nominatim (OpenStreetMap)

2. GeoNames

When: When setting a location to determine the timezone
Data Sent: Latitude and longitude coordinates

Important: These API calls are made directly from your browser to these services. The extension developer does not receive, log, or have access to this data.

The extension requires the following permissions:

• storage: To save your settings locally on your device
• privacy: To configure WebRTC protection settings

These permissions are used solely for the extension's functionality and not for data collection.
