Privacy Policy – Worldclock by Oscar

This Privacy Policy explains how the Worldclock by Oscar Chrome extension (“the Extension”, “we”, “our”) handles user data.

The Extension has a single purpose: to provide a customizable New Tab world clock that displays the current time for selected cities. We minimize data collection and request only the permissions needed for this purpose.

DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY

Local Preferences (stored with chrome.storage):

List of cities and their order
12/24-hour clock preference and date format
Optional greeting name

Reason: These preferences are necessary to render the New Tab page according to the user’s choices. We do not collect personal browsing history, keystrokes, cookies, or form data.

No Account, No Tracking, No Ads: We do not require an account, run analytics, or serve ads.

DATA STORAGE AND RETENTION

Preferences are stored locally using the Chrome Extensions Storage API (chrome.storage.local or chrome.storage.sync). Data persists until the user removes the Extension or clears the Extension’s data. We do not transfer this data to our own servers.

PERMISSIONS WE REQUEST

storage – to save the settings listed above.
Host permissions – the Extension fetches images from specific domains (e.g., https://images.unsplash.com/* / https://source.unsplash.com/*). These requests are read-only; the Extension does not read or modify web page content.

We request the minimum necessary permissions. If a permission is not essential to the single purpose, we do not request it.

REMOTE CODE

We do not execute remote code. All JavaScript is packaged with the Extension, and we do not use eval() or dynamically loaded code. If a later version introduces a dependency that requires remote code, this policy and the Chrome Web Store listing will be updated.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Extension is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

SECURITY

While the Extension stores only local preferences, we follow best practices to protect user data, including the principle of least privilege and bundling code locally.

YOUR CHOICES

You can review, change, or clear preferences at any time in the Extension’s settings.
You can remove the Extension from Chrome to delete its data.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this policy to reflect changes to the Extension or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy with a new effective date. Material changes will be highlighted in the release notes.

CONTACT

If you have questions or requests about this policy, please contact the developer at: opinedals@gmail.com.

COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

Where applicable, our use of user data complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The Extension limits the use of data to providing and improving its single purpose and does not permit human reading of user data.
