Privacy Policy for OSM Tools Quick Access

Last updated: March 30, 2025

Overview

OSM Tools Quick Access is a browser extension that provides quick access to various OpenStreetMap (OSM) tools when viewing OSM coordinates or changesets. This privacy policy explains how the extension handles data.

Data Collection and Storage

OSM Tools Quick Access does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information.

The extension operates entirely within your browser and does not communicate with any external servers for data collection or analytics purposes.

Local Browser Storage

The extension uses your browser's local storage capabilities (chrome.storage.sync API) to save your preferences, such as:

• Which tools you have enabled or disabled
• The order in which tools appear in the menu
• Any custom tools you have added

This information is stored locally in your browser and, if you're signed into your browser account, may sync across your devices. This data is:

• Not accessible to the extension developer
• Not shared with any third parties
• Not used for tracking or analytics
• Entirely under your control and can be cleared through your browser settings

Permissions

The extension requires the following permissions:

• activeTab: To detect when you're viewing OSM coordinates or changesets
• storage: To save your tool preferences locally

These permissions are used solely for the extension's core functionality and not for collecting any personal information.
