1. Introduction
Welcome to DarkMode+ ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our Chrome extension.
We designed DarkMode+ with privacy in mind. Our extension operates entirely on your device, and we've minimized data collection to only what's necessary for the extension to function properly. We believe in transparency and giving users control over their data.
By installing and using DarkMode+, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our extension.
2. Information We Collect
DarkMode+ is designed to collect minimal information. Here's what we do and don't collect:
2.1 Information Collected Automatically
The DarkMode+ extension does not automatically collect any personally identifiable information. We do not track your browsing history, capture screenshots, or monitor the content of websites you visit.
The extension may collect limited technical information such as:
- Extension error logs (when necessary for troubleshooting)
- Basic usage statistics (e.g., which features are most commonly used)
- Extension version and browser information for compatibility purposes
This information is anonymized and cannot be used to identify you personally.
2.2 Settings and Preferences
DarkMode+ stores your preferences and settings (such as your theme selection, custom color choices, and excluded websites) locally on your device using Chrome's storage API. These settings may be synchronized across your devices if you have enabled Chrome Sync.
We do not have direct access to these settings unless you explicitly share them with us (for example, when requesting technical support).
2.3 Information You Provide
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as:
- Contact information when you reach out to us for support (e.g., email address)
- Feedback or survey responses you choose to submit
- Information shared when reporting bugs or suggesting features
DarkMode+ operates primarily on your local device. We've designed it to function without requiring a connection to external servers for its core functionality. This means that most of your interactions with the extension remain private on your device.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:
3.1 To Provide and Improve the Extension
- Delivering the core functionality of DarkMode+
- Developing new features and improvements
- Fixing bugs and addressing technical issues
- Understanding how users interact with different features
3.2 To Communicate With You
- Responding to your inquiries and support requests
- Sending critical updates about the extension (e.g., major changes or security updates)
- Processing feedback and suggestions you provide
3.3 Legal and Safety Purposes
- Protecting our rights, property, or safety
- Complying with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes
- Enforcing our terms of service
- Addressing violations of our policies
We will never use your information for the following purposes without your explicit consent:
- Selling or renting your data to third parties
- Targeted advertising or marketing
- Profiling or automated decision-making that may significantly affect you
4. Data Storage and Security
4.1 Local Storage
Most of the data DarkMode+ uses (including your settings and preferences) is stored locally on your device using secure browser storage. This data does not leave your device unless you have enabled Chrome Sync, in which case Chrome will sync this data across your devices according to Google's privacy policies.
4.2 Security Measures
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect any data we do collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
4.3 Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we may retain contact information provided for support purposes for as long as needed to provide assistance and a reasonable period afterward.
You can remove locally stored data at any time by uninstalling the extension or clearing your browser data.
5. Third-Party Services
5.1 Chrome Web Store and Google Services
DarkMode+ is distributed through the Chrome Web Store. Google may collect information about the installation, usage, and uninstallation of our extension according to their privacy policy. We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy for more information.
5.2 Analytics
We may use limited analytics tools to help us understand how our extension is used. These tools collect anonymized data about feature usage and performance. No personally identifiable information is shared with these analytics providers.
5.3 External Links
Our extension and website may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.
7. Children's Privacy
Our extension and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
8. Your Rights and Choices
8.1 Access and Control of Your Information
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we have about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion of your personal information

8.2 How to Exercise Your Rights
You can exercise many of these rights directly through the extension by:
- Uninstalling the extension to remove locally stored data
- Adjusting your settings in the extension options
- Using your browser's features to clear stored data
For other requests or to access information we may hold about you, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.
8.3 Do Not Track Signals
We honor Do Not Track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track browser mechanism is in place.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top.
For significant changes that materially alter your privacy rights, we will provide additional notice, such as a prominent notice within the extension or via email (if we have your contact information).
