This Privacy Policy describes how the Visilant browser extension ("the Extension") collects, uses, and protects user data. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in our data handling practices.

Data Collection and Use:

The Extension collects and stores data locally on your device related to your browsing history. Specifically, the Extension collects the following data:

Website URLs: The Extension records the URLs of websites you visit. This data is used solely to track the number of visits to each website.
Visit Counts: The Extension maintains a count of how many times you have visited each website. This data is used to determine if a website meets the configured threshold for low visit counts.
User Settings: The Extension stores your configuration settings, such as visit count thresholds, notification and language preferences, and icon display settings.

No Data Sharing:
Crucially, the Extension does not transmit any of your browsing history, visit counts, or user settings to any external servers or third parties. All data is stored locally on your device and remains under your control. We do not and will not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers, analytics providers, or any other entities.

Data Storage:

All data collected by the Extension is stored locally within your browser's storage. This means the data is associated with your browser profile and is subject to your browser's data management settings. You can clear your browsing history and extension data through your browser's settings, which will also delete the data collected by the Extension.

User Control and Choices:

Data Import: The Extension may allow you to import your browsing history from your browser to improve the accuracy of visit counts. This import is a one-time process, and the imported data is stored locally. You are in complete control of whether or not you choose to import your history.
Configuration: You can configure the Extension's behavior through its options page. This includes setting visit count thresholds, notification preferences, and icon display settings.
Data Reset: You have the option to reset all data collected by the Extension through the Extension's settings. This will delete all stored website URLs, visit counts, and user settings.
Uninstallation: Uninstalling the Extension from your browser will remove the Extension and its associated data from your device.
Data Security:

We take the security of your data seriously. Because all data is stored locally on your device, it is subject to the security measures provided by your browser and operating system. We recommend keeping your browser and operating system up to date to ensure the security of your data.

Changes to this Privacy Policy:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.

By installing and using the Visilant extension, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
