This browser extension collects anonymous usage data via Google Analytics, strictly for the purpose of analytics and statistics. The extension only tracks which search engines are used by the user and does not track or record any websites visited beyond search engine usage. No personal information, search terms, or specific user activity is tracked, stored, or linked to individual users.

The data collected is solely intended for improving the extension’s functionality and understanding general usage trends. It is not used for marketing, advertising, or identifying individual users in any way.

Data is collected and processed through Google Analytics under its standard practices, and no specific data retention policy is applied beyond Google Analytics’ default settings. Additionally, no cookies or other tracking mechanisms are utilized by this extension, and no collected data is shared with any third parties beyond Google Analytics for the purposes of statistical analysis.

At this time, there is no opt-out mechanism provided within the extension. If you wish to block Google Analytics tracking, this can be managed via your browser settings or by using third-party blocking tools.
