Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to HaYTooL Cloud StartPage ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you about how we look after your personal data when you use our browser extension.

2. Data We Collect

When you choose to use the Cloud Sync feature by logging in with your Google Account, we collect and store the following information:

• Email Address and Profile Picture: Used solely to display your active account in the extension.
• Bookmarks and Settings: Your StartPage layout, links, notes, and preferences are saved to our secure database (Google Firestore) to allow synchronization across your devices.

If you use the "Local Mode" (without signing in), all your data remains locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data exclusively to provide the core functionality of the extension (synchronizing your start page preferences across devices). We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third parties.

4. Data Security

Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase infrastructure, which complies with strict security standards. Access to your data is protected by Google OAuth 2.0 authentication.

5. Your Rights

You can delete your synchronized data at any time by uninstalling the extension or disconnecting your account. If you wish to have your data completely removed from our servers, you may contact us.

6. Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact the developer via the official support channels.
