## Overview Aperture is a new-tab replacement extension for Google Chrome. It is designed with privacy as a core principle — your data stays on your device. ## Data Collection Aperture does not collect, transmit, or share any personal information. The extension operates entirely offline and makes zero network requests.

## Local Storage Aperture stores the following data locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage API (chrome.storage.local):
- Settings — your selected preferences (active tab, background choice, overlay opacity, search provider, time format) - Bookmarks — quick links you add manually
- Timer state — mode, duration, and remaining time
- Quote preferences — enabled categories and current index This data never leaves your browser. It is not sent to any server, third party, or analytics service.

## Permissions Aperture requests a single permission:
- storage — to save your settings and preferences locally between sessions No other permissions are requested. Aperture does not access your browsing history, tabs, cookies, or any other browser data.

## Third-Party Services Aperture does not integrate with any third-party services, APIs, or analytics platforms. All assets (fonts, icons, sounds) are bundled within the extension.

## Changes to This Policy If this policy is updated, the changes will be reflected here with an updated date. As the extension is fully offline, changes to this policy would only occur if new features are introduced.
