History Day Extension
Last updated: April 2, 2025
Introduction
Thank you for using the History Day Chrome Extension. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you use our extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure experience.
Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information. The History Day extension functions entirely on your device. It does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information about you or your browsing habits.
How We Use Information
As we do not collect personal information, there is no use of such data. The only data processing that occurs is entirely on your device to provide you with historical information for the current date.
Data Storage
The extension uses local storage on your device to:
- Cache historical data to improve performance and enable offline functionality
- Store your theme preference (light or dark mode)
This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or any third parties.
API Usage
The extension connects to the Muffin Labs History API (https://history.muffinlabs.com/) to retrieve historical events data for the current date. When making these requests:
- No personal information is sent to the API
- Only the current date is used in the API request
- Standard information such as your IP address may be visible to the API service as part of standard web requests
Browser Permissions
This extension requires minimal permissions:
- Override New Tab Page: This allows the extension to display historical information when you open a new tab.
The extension does not request permissions to:
- Access your browsing history
- Access cookies or other site data
- Access clipboard content
- Access location data
Analytics
We do not use any analytics services to track usage of the extension itself. The only third-party service we use is the Muffin Labs History API. Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policy.
Children's Privacy
Our extension is suitable for users of all ages and does not collect any information from children under the age of 13.
Your Rights and Choices
Since all data is stored locally on your device, you maintain complete control over your information. You can clear all stored data at any time by:
- Using Chrome's built-in tools to clear extension data
- Uninstalling the extension completely
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the extension.
