Chrome Extension Privacy Statement
Our Chrome extension is a lightweight shortcut. It never collects, stores, or shares personal data; it simply opens privateschools.cy.
Install the extension via the official Chrome Web Store listing below and reference this privacy statement whenever Google or your security reviewers request details.
What the Chrome extension does
The PrivateSchools.cy Chrome extension adds two simple features: a toolbar popup with quick filters for privateschools.cy and a context-menu shortcut that opens search results for the text you highlight. It never modifies third-party websites or injects advertising.
Data collection, storage, and sharing
The extension does not collect, store, transmit, or monetize personal data. All interactions happen client-side inside your browser and any browsing on privateschools.cy is governed by our main website policies.
- No analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or behavioral profiles are captured.
- No account credentials, search queries, or school preferences leave your browser.
- No data is shared with PrivateSchools.cy or any third party beyond the standard HTTPS requests your browser makes when you open privateschools.cy.
Local cache of public directory data
To keep the popup fast, the extension caches the public school directory markup from privateschools.cy in Chrome storage for up to 12 hours. This cache only contains already-public school metadata (name, city, languages, etc.) and never includes personal information. You can refresh or clear the cache at any time from the popup.
Permissions and functionality
The manifest requests a minimal set of permissions so the extension can open privateschools.cy and keep the popup responsive.
- `tabs`: used only to open or focus privateschools.cy when you click quick actions.
- `contextMenus`: lets the extension show “Search on PrivateSchools.cy” when you highlight text.
- `storage`: stores the 12-hour cache of public directory data so searches are instant.
- Host permission for https://privateschools.cy/* ensures requests stay scoped to our own site.
- Updates are delivered exclusively via the Chrome Web Store; there are no sideloaded binaries.
Questions or requests
If you have questions about the extension or believe it is acting unexpectedly, contact [email protected] and we will respond promptly.
Updates to this notice
We will update this page if the extension gains new functionality or requires additional permissions. Any meaningful changes will also be reflected in the Chrome Web Store listing and version notes.
