Tomeplover: Dictionary & Thesaurus — Privacy Policy
Short version: the extension stores data only in your browser (storage.local). Nothing is sent to Zydeno or anyone else. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.
What is stored, and where
- The words you look up, each with its first definition, the date of the last look-up and a counter. You can turn this off, remove single words or clear the list at any time. Words looked up from a private window are not saved.
- Your settings: how the card is triggered, the theme, whether history is on, and the list of sites where the card stays off.
- All of it stays in your browser profile until you delete it or remove the extension. Export files are made only when you ask, and go only where you save them.
What the extension reads on pages
- Only what you selected or double-clicked: the word itself, and, when it stands next to a hyphen, the rest of that hyphenated word. It goes from the page to the extension inside your browser, and it is looked up in the dictionary files inside the extension.
- The extension does not read, store or send page content, addresses or browsing history. The one page address it handles is the host name of the current tab, shown in the popup so that you can turn the card off for that site, and kept only if you do.
Network
Tomeplover makes no network requests. The dictionary, fonts, icons and code are all inside the extension. Links on the Help page (the dictionary’s website, licences, the store page) open only if you click them.
Permissions
- storage: keeps your history and settings in your browser.
- activeTab: lets the extension work on the current tab only after you use its menu item, shortcut or toolbar button.
- scripting: shows the card on the page after you ask for a word, and reads your selection when you use the shortcut or open the popup.
- contextMenus: adds the look-up item to the right-click menu for selected text.
- Access to all sites (optional, off until you allow it): needed only for the card to appear on a double-click or selection on any page. You can refuse or remove it at any time; the menu, the shortcut and the search keep working without it.
Your choices
Turn history off or clear it on the History and Settings pages. Remove site access in Settings. Removing the extension deletes its data from your browser.
Children
The extension collects no personal data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new text will appear at this address with a new date.
