Privacy Policy

1. What data we collect

None. Markdown Browser does not collect any personal information, usage data, file contents, or metadata of any kind.

2. File access

The extension uses Chrome's File System Access API to read markdown files from folders you explicitly open. This access:

• Requires your active consent through Chrome's built-in permission dialog
• Is scoped only to the folder you select
• Is read-only — the extension never writes, modifies, or deletes your files
• Never transmits file contents anywhere — all reading and rendering happens locally in your browser

3. Local storage

The extension uses chrome.storage.local and IndexedDB to save:

• Your display preferences (font size, theme, reading width)
• A list of recently opened file paths (names only, not contents)
• A reference to the last opened folder handle (for convenience on reopen)

This data is stored entirely on your local device and is never synced or shared.

4. Network requests

Markdown Browser makes zero network requests. It has no backend, no analytics service, no crash reporting, and no update mechanism beyond the Chrome Web Store's standard extension update process.

5. Permissions explained

• storage — saves your preferences and recent file list locally
• tabs — opens and focuses the app tab when you click the extension icon

No other permissions are requested.

6. Third-party services

None. The extension does not integrate with or communicate with any third-party services, APIs, or SDKs.

7. Children's privacy

This extension does not collect any information from anyone, including children.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published with a new date. Since no data is collected, changes are unlikely to affect your privacy.
