Introduction
We believe your browser's new tab page should be personal, private, and yours. YourDynamicDashboard is built with a "Privacy First" architecture. This document outlines exactly how we handle your data.
The Short Version: We do not track you. We do not collect analytics. Your data stays on your device.
Where is my data?
All your customizations are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your computer. We do not have servers, and we cannot see your data.
What is stored locally?
Theme colors, saved presets, personal greeting name, to-do lists, custom shortcut links, keyboard settings, and general preferences.
Permissions & Usage
📁 Storage
Used to save your preferences so they persist every time you open a new tab.
📍 Geolocation
Optional. Used only if you click "Detect Location". Your coordinates are sent directly to the weather provider and are not stored by us.
🎙️ Microphone (Voice Search)
Optional. Used only when you click the microphone icon or press 'V'. We use your browser's native Web Speech API. Audio is processed by your browser vendor (e.g., Google for Chrome) to convert speech to text. We do not record or store your voice.
External Services (APIs)
To provide dynamic features, the extension communicates directly with the following third-party services. No personal identifiers are sent to these services.
Open-Meteo
Used to fetch weather data. Open-Meteo is a privacy-focused, open-source weather API.https://open-meteo.com/en/pricing
BigDataCloud
Used for "Reverse Geocoding" (converting GPS coordinates into a City Name) only when auto-detect is used.
Google Favicons
Used to fetch the small icons for the websites you add to your Shortcuts bar.
Open Source Transparency
We believe in "Trust, but Verify". The entire source code for YourDynamicDashboard is available publicly.
You can audit the code yourself on GitHub: github.com/xtditom/YourDynamicDashboard
